I found Step Social to be excellent and good value for the amount and quality of the ads they were posting for me. Hassle free and easy to set up. I've been very busy since I started using them.

I commissioned Step Social to take over social media posts at the company I work for. They're so good to work with: helpful, attentive, quick to reply if you need it. And the artwork and posts the produce really grab the eye. Eveything runs like clockwork, and if you spot something that's not technically correct, you can edit it easily in their website.

I've had a very positive experience working with Step Social. The team are proactive, engaging and responsive, and the content they produce is consistently relevant, professional and of a high quality. They’ve taken the time to understand my business and are quick to adapt as our needs and priorities change. They add real value to MSEA Care Ltd and have played an important role in helping us build and position our brand consistently across our different social media platforms. A professional, reliable and easy team to work with — I would happily recommend them.

The team at Step social are professional, highly responsive, respectful and most importantly deliver to a high standard. Having used their Meta Ads service which brought in more leads within a few weeks than we had managed to do ourselves in the last 6 months! We continue to use their social media management service which is excellent and allows us to focus on the most important tasks within our business. I would highly recommend Arran and his team if you are thinking of building and scaling your business successfully.

Using Step Social has made it so much easier to have a professional social media presence for a small business. The scheduling tool helps to keep everything organised, and the options to suggest ideas for future posts and amend draft posts work really well too. I've found the team knowledgeable, friendly and responsive, and having a real human at the other end to sort out any issues is invaluable. Would definitely recommend!

I recently signed up with Step Social to help promote my lawn care business on social media, and I’ve been really pleased with how it’s gone so far. As a small business, it’s not always easy to find something that’s both good value and genuinely delivers, but they’ve managed to do both. The quality of the posts has been great, and it’s taken a big job off my plate. One thing I would say is it’s definitely worth taking the time to give proper feedback and share as much as you can about your brand. The more I’ve done that, the better the posts have become, and they now feel like they properly reflect our voice and what we’re about. Keeping on top of social media is important, but also time-consuming, so finding a company that can do it well and at a reasonable price has been a really good find. I’d happily recommend Step Social to other small businesses.

I have worked with this team for nearly a year now and I want to say they have been fantastic! Arran has always been responsive and helpful. I can say one thing about this company is that when I had a financial difficulty they offered me an alternative which made my personal life easier. Very considerate company and the team have created excellent content for my little business. Thank you again Step social! 🙂 I would highly recommend!

I’ve been working with Step Social for a month now and I’m really happy with the service so far. The onboarding process was straightforward and easy, and everything felt organised from the start. They’ve really taken the time to understand my business and my voice, which I truly appreciate. The posts feel aligned with me and the direction I want to go in. I also love how collaborative the process is. I can easily suggest edits or change photos, and it all feels very smooth and uncomplicated. It’s made managing my social media feel far more professional and manageable. A great experience so far — thank you and would highly recommend.

We had a really good experience with Step Social. They’re easy to work with, helped us stay consistent with posting, and took a lot of the hassle out of managing social media. The platform does exactly what they say on the tin and is great for keeping things organised. We’ve only moved on because our needs have changed as the business has grown, but for small businesses or anyone wanting a simple, reliable scheduling tool, they’re a solid choice.

StepSocial delivers work that’s both strategic and beautifully executed. Their attention to detail, creative instincts, and follow-through make it clear they care deeply about the outcome, not just the output. Everything feels intentional, aligned, and thoughtfully crafted - making sure to follow our brand guidelines, which is rare and refreshing. If you’re looking for a team that brings clarity, quality, and real care to their work, StepSocial absolutely delivers!

Why Stories are worth your time

A Story lasts 24 hours, and that is exactly why it works. Nowhere else gets you in front of your followers this quickly.

You sit at the top of the feed

Stories live in the bar above everything else. Open the app and they are the first thing you see, before a single post has been ranked.

Seen by people who already know you

The Stories bar is filled with accounts someone actually interacts with. That means your Stories land hardest with existing followers and past customers, the easiest people you will ever sell to.

Replies land in your inbox

A Story is the easiest thing on Instagram to reply to. One tap and a sentence starts a conversation in your DMs, which is where enquiries actually happen.

Daily presence, tidy profile

Stories keep you visible every single day without filling your grid with posts. Your profile stays curated, your presence stays constant.

24 hours gives people a reason to act

A Story is gone tomorrow, which is exactly why it gets watched today. It is the natural home for a limited offer, an event or an announcement you want acted on quickly.

Keep the good ones as Highlights

A Story does not have to disappear. Pin the best ones to your Instagram Highlights and they sit permanently under your bio, an always on menu of your offers and services.

What you get every month

10, 20 or 30 Stories a month, designed from scratch for your business.

Animation, not a static image
Every Story is a 10 to 15 second animated graphic, designed one at a time rather than pulled out of a template pack.
Built in your branding
Your logo, your colours and your fonts, so a Story looks like it belongs to the same business as the rest of your marketing.
Written to do a job
Each one has a point: an offer, an announcement, a review, a question or a reason to get in touch. Not filler to keep the account ticking over.
Yours to post, or scheduled for you
Download them and post them whenever you like, or add scheduling for £10 a month and we upload them to your Story for you, spread across the month.
The spec, in plain English
Format
Vertical 9:16, sized for Facebook and Instagram Stories
Length
10 to 15 seconds of animation
Sound
None. They are animated graphics, so they are created without audio
Designed in
Canva, by your own content creator
AI
Your Stories are not AI generated, unless you specifically ask us for that
Revisions
Two rounds on every Story
Scheduling
Optional. £10 a month, whether that is Facebook, Instagram or both

You choose 10, 20 or 30 Stories a month. Want them posted for you as well? Scheduling is £10 a month, whether that is Facebook, Instagram or both.

Nothing waits on you

You never have to approve a Story before it goes live. Review them whenever you like, and if you are happy there is nothing for you to do.

If we schedule your Stories, we message you every two weeks to say a new batch is ready, with a link to your content scheduler. Look at it whenever suits you. If you are happy, there is nothing else to do, and if you want a change you just ask.

  • Your Stories go out whether you log in or not
  • Want a change? Two rounds of revisions on every Story
  • Got something time sensitive? Publish one yourself in seconds
S
Step Socialto you

Your new Stories are scheduled

Hi, your next two weeks of Stories are designed, scheduled and ready to look at in your content scheduler whenever suits you.

If you are happy with them, you do not need to do anything.
Sent every two weeks, each time a new batch is scheduled

Would rather post them yourself? Some businesses like to add a poll or a link sticker as they post, or want to pick the moment. Choose the no scheduling option on your order form and, instead of scheduling them, we will set up a shared folder and upload every Story there, ready for you to download and post whenever you like. That option costs nothing extra.

Never stuck for something to post

A different reason to show up each day, built around what your business actually sells.

Offers and promotions

A limited deal with a reason to act before it is gone tomorrow.

Announcements

News, opening hours, new arrivals and anything you need seen this week.

Frequently asked questions

The questions you answer on the phone all day, answered once, publicly.

Customer reviews

Your best feedback pulled out and put in front of people who have not bought yet.

Before and after

The single most persuasive thing a trade or treatment business can show.

Polls and this or that

An easy tap that turns a viewer into a reply sitting in your inbox.

Events and reminders

The build up to an event, and the nudge on the morning it happens.

Products and services

One thing you sell, brought forward and explained in a few seconds.

Got something coming up? Tell us in your client portal with around 14 days notice and we will build it into your next batch.

How every Story gets made

Every batch goes through the same process before a single Story reaches you, and that process is why the work stays consistent month after month.

A creator who knows your industry

Our content creators specialise by sector, so you are paired with one who already understands your market. They design your Stories in Canva, one at a time, using your logo, your colours and your fonts, and you keep the same creator for every batch, so nothing drifts.

A second pair of eyes on every batch

Before anything reaches you, an editor checks every Story for spelling, accuracy and brand fit. Two people sign off on your content every time, which is a step most services at this price simply do not have.

Need a change? Just ask.

Request a revision from your client portal and we will rework it. Every Story comes with two rounds of revisions, and we ask for two working days notice before it is due to be published.

Do we use AI? Your Stories are designed in Canva by your own dedicated content creator and checked by an editor, and they are not AI generated unless you specifically ask us for that. Where we do use AI is to speed up parts of our workflow, such as research and planning, and any agency telling you they do not use it in 2026 is either not being straight with you or not being efficient. If you would like us to adjust how AI is used, or not used, on your account, just tell us when you sign up.

Simple pricing from £49 a month

One flat monthly fee, no contract, cancel anytime. Want them posted for you too? Add scheduling for £10 a month. Every other add-on sits on our pricing page.

Nothing to sign. Upgrade, downgrade, pause or cancel anytime with 14 days notice before your renewal. Our 14 day money-back guarantee covers our organic posting plans, and add-ons like Stories are not included.

Prefer to pay up front? Pay for five months and get the sixth free.

Stories work hardest next to your posts

You can buy Stories on their own, and plenty of businesses do. They just work better when there is something on the profile for people to land on.

Stories get you seen.
Posts give people a reason to stay.

A Story puts you at the top of the feed today and is gone tomorrow. Your posts are what someone finds when that Story makes them tap your profile: a page that looks active, professional and worth following.

Add Stories to a posting plan and the same content creator makes both, so your Stories and your grid look like they came from the same business, because they did. Plans start at £99 a month for 10 posts.

Every other option asks more of you

Getting a Story out every day costs you something either way: your money, your evenings, or a contract you cannot get out of. Here is how the options compare.

Doing it yourself
Designing, exporting and posting one every day, on top of the day job
Hiring in-house
A salary, plus recruitment, holiday and sick pay
A traditional agency
A far bigger retainer, and a minimum term to sign
A freelance designer
A fee for every Story, and no cover when they are away
Canva templates
You still have to design it, animate it, export it and remember to post it
Step Social
From £49 a month. Nothing to sign, cancel anytime
Asks less of youAsks a lot more

Bar length shows the overall commitment each option needs from you: cost, your time, and how locked in you are.

Subscription benefits

Simple, flexible and affordable content creation, designed to grow your business without the typical agency headaches.

Client portal access

Connect your profiles, share ideas and manage your account in one place from day one.

Fast turnaround

Your first batch of Stories is typically ready within five business days of onboarding.

Nothing to approve

Stories publish on schedule. We message you every two weeks, and reviewing is up to you.

Always on brand

Every Story carries your logo, fonts and colours so it looks like the rest of your marketing.

Transparent billing

One predictable monthly price, with no setup fees, no hidden extras and no surprises.

Flexible and scalable

Upgrade, downgrade or cancel anytime with 14 days notice before your renewal.

Share ideas easily

Send us a promotion, an event or a photo and we will build it into your next batch.

Unique and yours

Every Story is made for your business and is 100% yours to download, reuse and keep.

Email and video support

Real people on email and video call whenever you need a hand or want to talk ideas.

What our clients say

We have simplified social media for more than 800 businesses.

Stories questions

How the Stories service works. Billing, plan changes and every add-on price are answered on the pricing page.

A Story is a short, full screen, vertical piece of content that sits in the bar along the top of Facebook and Instagram, above the normal feed. It stays there for 24 hours and then disappears. Because it sits above the feed rather than in it, it is the quickest way to be seen by the people who already follow you.

10, 20 or 30 Stories a month depending on the plan you choose. Each one is a 10 to 15 second animated graphic, designed from scratch in your branding. You choose on the order form whether you want to post them yourself, which costs nothing extra, or have us schedule them for £10 a month.

No. Our Stories are animated graphics, so they are created without audio. That is deliberate: most people watch Stories with the sound off, so everything that matters is on the screen rather than in a voiceover.

No, not unless you ask us for that. Every Story is designed in Canva by your own content creator, using your logo, colours and fonts. We do use AI to speed up parts of our workflow such as research and planning, and an editor checks every batch before anything is scheduled. If you want us to adjust how AI is used, or not used, on your account, tell us when you sign up.

Yes, of course. We message you as soon as a new batch is scheduled and you can log in and see everything in your content scheduler. The difference is that nothing waits on you: if you are happy, you do not need to do anything and your Stories publish on schedule. If you want a change, just ask in your portal.

Yes. Every Story comes with two rounds of revisions. Request them through your client portal and we ask for two working days notice before a Story is due to be published.

Yes, and it is the same price either way. Scheduling is £10 a month whether we post to Facebook, Instagram or both, so there is nothing to gain by picking just one. Tell us which accounts you want covered on your order form. If you would rather post them yourself, leave scheduling off and there is no extra charge at all.

Only if you want to. Your own photos and footage always work well, and you can upload them through your client portal at any time. If you would rather not, we design everything around your branding and a wide library of premium stock imagery instead. It is entirely your choice, and you can tell us either way in your client portal.

No. Stories can be bought on their own from £49 a month. Plenty of businesses do exactly that. They do work harder alongside a posting plan, because a Story sends people to your profile and your posts are what they find when they get there.

That is fine, and it costs nothing extra. Choose the no scheduling option on your order form and we will set up a shared folder and upload every Story there, ready for you to download and post whenever you like. If you change your mind later, just message us in your client portal.

Yes. Tell us through your client portal and we will build it into the schedule. Around 14 days notice gives us time to design it and get it in the right slot. If something comes up at short notice, you can always publish a Story yourself from your content scheduler in seconds.

We can design a Story with space left for one, but Instagram and Facebook only allow interactive stickers to be added when you post natively from the app, so third party schedulers cannot add them for you. If stickers matter to you, choose the no scheduling option on the order form and post the files yourself, then you can add them in a couple of taps.

Usually within five business days of signing up. After that a new batch is designed every two weeks.

Yes. Everything we create is made for your business, is never reused for anyone else, and is yours to download, reuse and keep, including after you cancel. Save the good ones to your Instagram Highlights and they stay under your bio permanently.

No. You connect your Facebook and Instagram accounts securely through your client portal, and you can disconnect them at any time. You never share a password with us.

Yes. Upgrade, downgrade, pause or cancel anytime with 14 days notice before your renewal, straight from your client portal. There is no contract to sign. Our 14 day money-back guarantee covers our organic posting plans rather than add-ons like Stories, so you can find the full detail on our pricing page.
