§ 04 · Method
How we ranked these agencies
We start from every social media agency in Johannesburg with a public Google Business Profile and a website, then keep the 432 with at least 3 reviews.
Each rating is pulled toward the average for all agencies in our data until it has enough reviews to stand on its own. That stops a perfect score from a handful of reviews outranking a slightly lower score from hundreds. Ties go to the agency with more reviews.
No agency can pay for a position. Read the full methodology.
§ 05 · Budget
What a social media agency costs
A social media agency plans and produces content, manages communities and runs paid campaigns on Meta, TikTok and LinkedIn.
Pricing usually scales with the number of platforms, posts per month and whether video production and community management are included. Paid social media spend is billed separately.
Ask whether content approval rounds, photography and short-form video are part of the retainer or extra.
§ 06 · Before you sign

- 01How many posts and videos are included each month, and on which platforms?
- 02Who responds to comments and messages, and within what time?

- 04Who will actually work on my account day to day, and how senior are they?

- 09If we part ways, what do I keep: accounts, data, creative and logins?
§ 07 · FAQ
Social media agencies in Johannesburg: common questions
Which is the best social media agency in Johannesburg?
SearchKings Africa ranks first among social media agencies in Johannesburg, with a 5.0-star Google rating from 295 reviews. We rank agencies by a review-weighted rating, so a high rating needs a meaningful number of reviews behind it to come out on top.
Which social media agency in Johannesburg has the most Google reviews?
Afridesign.com has the most Google reviews of the social media agencies we ranked in Johannesburg: 515 reviews, with an average of 4.9 stars.
How many social media agencies are there in Johannesburg?
We found 432 social media agencies in Johannesburg with a Google Business Profile and a website. 432 of them have at least 3 Google reviews, which is the minimum to be ranked.
How much does a social media agency in Johannesburg cost?
Pricing usually scales with the number of platforms, posts per month and whether video production and community management are included. Paid social media spend is billed separately. Ask whether content approval rounds, photography and short-form video are part of the retainer or extra.
How do I choose a social media agency in Johannesburg?
Shortlist three agencies from this ranking, check that their reviews mention the work you need, and ask each the same questions about who does the work, what the fee includes and what you keep if you leave. Compare written proposals on the same scope before you sign.
How is this ranking calculated?
Each agency's Google rating is weighted by its number of reviews using a Bayesian average, so a 5.0 from three reviews does not beat a 4.8 from a hundred. Agencies need at least 3 reviews to be ranked. Nobody can pay for a position.
