    Social Media Agency in Kolkata: The 2026 Hiring Guide

    The problem with most social media agencies in Kolkata

    Too many still sell "12 posts a month" retainers with template designs and zero video. In 2026, if your agency isn't shipping Reels weekly, running community management, and layering paid on top, they're selling you 2019 SMM.

    What a modern social media agency in Kolkata should deliver

    • 20+ Reels per month with a dedicated editor
    • 8+ carousels per month tied to search + save intent
    • Daily stories with polls, DM stickers, product tags
    • Community management with defined SLAs
    • Monthly strategy call with a working session, not a slide deck
    • Creator seeding pipeline: 4–8 collabs per quarter
    • Paid amplification on top-performing organic

    The paid trial: how to test any Kolkata social media agency in 30 days

    Before signing a 6-month retainer, ask any shortlisted agency to run a 30-day paid trial:

    • 4 Reels, 4 carousels, 8 stories
    • Full community management for 30 days
    • One creator collab
    • Weekly reporting

    If they can't produce it in 30 days, they won't produce it in 6 months.

    Questions that separate serious agencies from freelancers

    1. Who edits the Reels, senior editor, junior, or template tool?

    2. What's your DM response SLA and who owns it?

    3. How do you handle content approvals, a shared calendar or WhatsApp chaos?

    4. What's your process when a Reel underperforms, do you kill it or boost it?
