Evaluation
How to evaluate a social media manager
One representative task, the output to expect and how to judge it. Availability, experience and working arrangements are confirmed before an engagement begins.
The task
Plan two weeks of posts for one platform, with captions and image briefs, based on your services and audience.
What you should receive
- The content plan with captions
- Image or video briefs
- Suggested reply templates for common questions
How to judge the work
- Review channel fit, voice, practical approvals and the distinction between engagement and enquiries.
- Review a sample calendar, final assets and moderation plan. Assess meaningful responses alongside reach, and keep confirmed enquiries distinct from engagement.
