How much does social media marketing cost in Kolkata?
The Kolkata market
Eastern India's hub, where heritage brands, FMCG and a strong food-and-culture scene reward agencies that can tell stories, not just run ads.
The busiest client categories for Kolkata agencies right now:
What should a Kolkata business look for in an agency?
- A real approval workflow. If approvals happen over WhatsApp screenshots, revisions get lost and posts go out late. The best agencies give you an app where you approve in one tap.
- Scheduled, automatic posting. Ask whether posts publish automatically at scheduled times or whether someone posts manually — manual posting is how 9 AM posts go out at noon.
- A monthly report you can read. Reach, engagement and growth in one clean report — generated from real data, not assembled screenshots.
- Local fluency. Fmcg and heritage & food brands audiences in Kolkata behave differently — your agency should know that without being told.
- Clean billing. GST-compliant invoices and digital payment links, not "transfer to this account and WhatsApp the screenshot".
