Your First 90 Days on Social Media Autopilot: A Week-by-Week Roadmap

Answer-First Summary: In your first 90 days of social media automation, Week 1 focuses on setting up your Brand Kit, Month 1 establishes a steady content rhythm, Month 2 optimizes via engagement analytics, and Month 3 achieves measurable SMB growth. Starting at $29/mo, it cuts traditional SMM costs by up to 70%.

SMM Pricing vs. AI: The SMB Reality

Hiring a local social media manager ($300–$900/mo equivalent) or partnering with an agency ($500–$2,000/mo) strains SMB budgets. Traditional workflows are slow and prone to delays. Evaluating SMM pricing vs AI reveals that automated platforms offer speed, consistency, and predictable unit economics without sacrificing brand voice.

The 4-Stage Workflow & Cost Comparison

Softyu Office structures your transition into a clear roadmap:

Week 1 (Brand Kit): Define your logo, colors, fonts, target audience, and tone of voice once.
Month 1 (Content Studio): AI drafts on-brand captions, multi-slide carousels, stories, and renders Instagram Reels without video editors.
Month 2 (Approval Autopilot): One-click human approval triggers automatic scheduling, Instagram OAuth publishing, and closed-loop analytics.
Month 3 (Growth & Scale): Analytics learn from saves, shares, and reach to optimize upcoming content.

Plan Economics:

Pro ($29/mo): 300 post credits (60 posts at $0.48/post) + 100 video credits.
Business ($49/mo): 1,000 post credits (200 posts at $0.245/post) + 250 video credits.
Max ($149/mo): 1,500 post credits (300 posts) + 500 video credits + managed service.

Compared to a full-time social media manager cost, Softyu Office delivers agency-level output at a fraction of the price. Check our pricing page for details.
