Overview
A growth engine — not random posting.
A great website or app still needs a growth engine. thedesigntime is a business growth and social media management agency for founders who want consistent marketing without hiring a full in-house team. We plan content pillars, create and publish social posts (scaled from a lean cadence up to 20 pieces per month), manage community engagement, run SEO foundations that compound, and optionally manage paid ads so every campaign drives measurable leads and customers — not vanity metrics. For marketplace brands we also offer Amazon storefront management: listing hygiene, A+ refreshes coordination, and storefront updates that keep the catalogue converting. Ideal for DTC, SaaS, and service businesses that need strategy, content, and channel ops under one senior team.
Pair growth with landing pages that convert, or Amazon listing design when storefront management needs new creative. One team keeps brand, content, and channels aligned.

SEO that compounds
On-page hygiene, content briefs, and Search Console habits that build over quarters.
Marketplace kept sharp
Amazon storefront management so catalogue and Brand Store don’t rot between launches.
From 1–20 posts per month — paced to quality
Volume is a dial, not a vanity contest. We scale creatives to your plan while keeping pillars, brand, and approval discipline intact.
1–8
posts / month
Lean cadence
High-signal posts for founders who need consistency without a full content machine — quality over volume.

- Weekly or bi-weekly optimisation notes while live
Media spend runs through accounts you own. We structure campaigns and creative; budgets stay under your control.
Social media growth dos and don’ts
Search “social media management” and you’ll find busy calendars with no pipeline. Here’s what we follow — and refuse — so growth means leads and customers.
Do this for business growth
- Focus on 2–3 channels your buyers actually use — depth beats posting everywhere weakly
- Plan content pillars tied to leads and sales, not random daily vibes
- Scale volume intentionally (lean cadence up to ~20 posts/month) without killing quality
- Pair organic social with SEO and landing pages so traffic has somewhere to convert
- Run ads only when tracking, offer, and destination page are ready
- Report on leads, inquiries, and revenue proxies — not vanity likes alone
- Keep Amazon storefront and listings on-brand if marketplace is a real channel
Don’t do this for “growth”
- Don’t spray 20 low-effort posts across every network just to hit a number
- Don’t chase follower counts while lead forms and CRM stay empty
- Don’t run paid ads to a weak homepage or outdated Amazon listing
- Don’t ignore Search Console and on-page SEO while “doing content”
- Don’t publish without a calendar, approval loop, and brand guidelines
- Don’t treat Amazon as a dump of SKUs — storefront and A+ need active management
- Don’t expect compound growth in 14 days — retainers need a 90-day runway
Amazon storefront management
Keep the Brand Store converting — not collecting dust.
For marketplace brands, growth isn’t only Instagram. We manage Amazon Brand Storefront updates, coordinate listing/A+ refreshes, and keep catalogue creative aligned with social and ads.
Brand Storefront updates
Hero, collections, and seasonal modules kept current as SKUs and campaigns change.
Listing & A+ coordination
Work with our Amazon listing design team for image stacks and Enhanced Brand Content refreshes.
Catalogue hygiene
Priority ASIN checks — broken images, outdated claims, and mobile rendering issues flagged monthly.
Event & deal creative
Support for Prime Day, BFCM, and launches — storefront and social creative that match.
Growth metrics that mean business
Leads
Inquiries & demos
KPIs tied to form fills, calls booked, and qualified pipeline — not just reach.
Traffic
SEO + social + ads
Compounding organic plus paid when the offer and landing page are ready.
Engagement
Quality over vanity
Saves, shares, and comments that indicate intent — reported with context.
Amazon
Storefront health
Storefront freshness and listing coordination for brands that sell on marketplace.
“They rebuilt our Amazon storefront and every listing in eight weeks. Conversion on our top ten SKUs is up 38% on the same ad spend.”

Amazon + DTC sellers
Social and ads send people somewhere — storefront and listings have to keep up.

Frequently asked questions
Social posts per month, SEO, ads, Amazon storefront, reporting, account ownership, and retainers — answered plainly.
How much does business growth / social media management cost?
Monthly retainers start from $999/mo. Post volume typically scales from a lean cadence up to about 20 pieces per month depending on plan. SEO, paid ads management, and Amazon storefront management can be included or added as modules after the growth audit.
How many social media posts do you create per month?
Plans scale from a focused set of high-quality posts up to roughly 20 pieces per month (feed, stories, or short-form as scoped). We prioritise the 2–3 channels that matter most for your audience so quality stays high — not 20 weak posts across every network.
Which platforms do you manage?
We typically cover Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts where relevant — and focus on the channels that match your buyers. SEO work includes Google Search Console hygiene; local visibility can include Google My Business / Business Profile support. Amazon Brand Storefront work is available as a dedicated module for marketplace sellers.
Do you run SEO and paid ads to drive leads and customers?
Yes. Organic social and content are core to the retainer. SEO foundations (technical hygiene, on-page, content briefs) and paid ads (Meta, Google, or LinkedIn — creative plus campaign structure) are available so growth is lead- and revenue-oriented, not just follower counts. Media spend is billed through your ad accounts.
What results should we expect from a growth retainer?
We set KPIs around leads, qualified inquiries, site traffic, engagement quality, and (where relevant) Amazon conversion or storefront metrics. Month one is foundation; months two and three compound as content, SEO, and ads iterate. We report monthly with clear next actions.
What is Amazon storefront management?
An optional module for brands selling on Amazon: Brand Storefront updates, listing image/A+ coordination with our Amazon listing design team, deal/event creative support, and catalogue hygiene so the storefront stays on-brand and conversion-ready as SKUs change.
Do you also design Amazon listing images and A+ Content?
Yes — as a related service. Growth retainers can include storefront management ops; net-new listing packs and A+ modules are scoped via our Amazon listing design service and can run under the same team.
Is there a minimum commitment?
Monthly plans start with a three-month minimum so strategy, content, SEO, and ads have time to compound. After that you can continue month-to-month.
What are the dos and don’ts of social media growth?
Do: pick fewer channels, post with a pillar strategy, measure leads not only likes, and pair organic with SEO/ads. Don’t: spray 20 low-effort posts everywhere, chase vanity metrics, ignore mobile creative, or run ads to a weak landing page. We build retainers around those rules.
Can growth work with our website or landing pages?
Yes. Many clients pair this retainer with web development or landing page development so traffic from social, SEO, and ads lands on pages that convert.
What does the monthly report include?
A clear readout of what shipped, channel performance, lead/inquiry trends where tracked, SEO or ads notes if those modules are active, Amazon storefront updates if scoped, and recommended next actions for the following month.
Who owns the social, ads, and Amazon accounts?
You do. We work inside accounts you own (or that you grant access to). Creatives, calendars, and reports are handed over — no hostage logins.
