You didn't do anything.

We take social media off your plate.

We write your captions, design your graphics, schedule everything, and publish it to your Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, and X accounts. All through Apaya, our AI social media platform. All reviewed by a human on our team. All inside an account that belongs to you.

  • Writing captions? Not your job anymore. We do it. In your voice.
  • Designing graphics? Handled. On your templates, on brand, every post.
  • Figuring out what to post? Off your plate. We plan the whole calendar.

A 4-step process

How it works.

One quick onboarding, then it just runs. You stay in approval mode, not production mode.

  1. 1
    Onboard

    You spend an hour. Once.

    One onboarding call. Voice, audience, offers, templates. Done in week one.

  2. 2
    Produce

    We write and design everything.

    AI drafts captions in your voice and builds graphics on your templates, formatted per platform.

  3. 3
    Review

    A human checks every post.

    Our team reviews for quality, tone, and brand fit before anything ships. Nothing weird gets through.

  4. 4
    Publish

    It goes out on schedule.

    Published to every connected account. You see it in your queue before it goes out. Approve, edit, or ignore.

Step 1 happens once, in the first week. Steps 2 through 4 then repeat every week, with no input from you.

Here's everything you get when you hand it to us.

Not a tool. Not a VA. A full content operation running in the background of your business.

  • A full content team, without hiring one.

    Worth $3,000+ a month if you hired it yourself.

  • Social media posts shipped every week, across every platform.

    Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, X. No gaps. No missed weeks.

  • Captions written in your voice.

    AI drafts, human reviewed, brand-approved before anything goes live.

  • Branded graphics.

    Custom-designed, not generic. Refreshed as your brand evolves (Managed+ only).

  • Your own Apaya account.

    Full visibility, full control, full ownership. Log in anytime. Cancel anytime. Take it in-house the day after.

  • 10 to 20 hours a week back.

    The time social media was supposed to eat? Yours again.

All of that, starting at $499 a month.

Less than a part-time assistant. More consistent than a freelancer. Yours to keep if you ever walk away.

Two plans. Most brands pick Managed+.

Managed keeps your accounts on-brand and posting every week. Managed+ does all of that and adds a dedicated strategist, monthly performance reports, and ongoing template work to push growth. If you just want a presence, start with Managed. If you want growth, go Managed + Strategy.

Managed

Consistent, on-brand posts every week. Handled end to end.

How your options compare.

Most businesses thinking about a managed plan are choosing between five paths: do nothing, run it themselves, hire a part-time VA, hire a freelancer, or hand it to us. Here's how they stack up on cost, time, quality, and what happens if it ends.

No lock-in.

The account is yours. The work stays yours. Walk away anytime.

You get your own Apaya login with full access. Every post in the queue, every analytic, every template, every setting, visible to you, editable by you. Nothing happens behind a curtain.

And if you ever want to take it back in-house, everything is already configured: your brand voice, your templates, your content categories, your social connections. You can run it yourself the day after you cancel. That's the difference between a platform you own and an agency that holds your stuff hostage.

3-month minimum. Cancel anytime after. Your account stays yours, forever.

What the first 90 days look like.

Both plans follow the same rhythm. Managed + Strategy adds strategy calls and monthly reporting on top.

Foundation 100%

Month 1: The foundation

We invest heavily in month one because the foundation determines everything. Your brand framework, templates, voice settings, and content strategy are all built during this period. By the end of month one, your social accounts are active and publishing on a consistent schedule.

Content mix

Month 2: Refinement

With real data, we can see what's resonating with your audience. We refine your content mix, adjust timing, and update templates so your content keeps improving. This is where your managed social media starts to feel dialed in.

Consistency streak 12 months active

Month 3+: Consistency compounds

This is where it pays off. Your social accounts are active every week, your brand is building recognition, and you are not spending a single hour on it. The platform keeps publishing. The team keeps refining. Your presence grows.

Your role

Approve content when you want to. Join a monthly call if you are on Managed + Strategy. Tell us what's happening in your business so we can create timely content. That's it. We handle everything else.

FAQs

Common questions about Apaya managed social media services.

What we're obsessive about (and what we leave to others).

We do one thing: organic content that sounds like your brand and ships every week. That's where all our focus goes. Paid ads, DM management, social listening, and influencer outreach are real services. Just not ours. We'd rather be excellent at one thing than mediocre at five.

Contact us to get started.

No pitch deck, no pressure. A short intro call, a look at your current accounts, and a clear picture of what we'd post, when, and why. If it's a fit, we'll send a plan. If it's not, we'll tell you.
