How much does social media management cost in Islamabad?

The price tracks output, not hours. At PKR 15,000 you should get roughly eight edited shorts, eight graphics, daily posting on one platform and basic SEO on titles and hashtags — that is our Starter, and it exists because most Islamabad agencies will not answer a single creator at that number. At PKR 35,000 you are paying for four long-form edits, twelve shorts, full channel or page SEO, comment and DM replies, and a strategy call every month. Past PKR 70,000 you are buying two or three platforms run together, a calendar planned a month ahead, and paid ads managed on top.

Islamabad's agency market is split in two. The firms around Blue Area and F-7 sell mainly to companies, NGOs and development-sector clients, and their retainers start near PKR 35,000 because that is what a corporate budget line looks like. Across the divide — Saddar, Commercial Market, Bahria Town — the same brief gets quoted at PKR 8,000 to PKR 20,000, and at that end you are usually buying one person with Canva rather than an editor plus a designer plus someone who opens the account daily. Neither is dishonest. They are different products at different prices.

Compare quotes by counting deliverables, not adjectives. Ask any agency how many videos, how many thumbnails, who replies to DMs, and what happens in a week when you send no footage. A quote with no numbers in it is a quote for posting, not for making. Check where ad spend sits too: it should be outside the fee and paid straight to Meta or Google, so every rupee is visible in your own billing. We invoice at the start of the month, take bank transfer, JazzCash, Easypaisa or card, and there is no setup fee and no lock-in.
