Content Categories
They can run your Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter, and are working on adding Instagram in the future.
They let you get in on the action with the Social Media Center backend. There you can preview and schedule content, listings, leads, landing pages, and view analytics tabs. In the dashboard you can edit content, add or update images, and monitor activity.
It’s a solid suite for managing your social networks.
As mentioned, Back At You can just manage your page, curating content and posting blogs to keep you page looking alive.
Biggest Pitfalls
Instagram Publishing
Or they can go the extra mile for you and run your Facebook ad campaigns to deliver leads.
Their first plan – the Silver – simply promotes your page and earns impressions and followers.
But the Gold, Platinum, and Diamond plans are all about paid lead generation.
No different than their competitors, any time you get a third party writing or posting content for you, you will likely get some generic stuff.
Back At You Pricing*

Back At You takes out the sting, with over 30 content categories you can turn on or off to tailor to your own market (versus competitors who sometimes only have 3-4 categories).
You can preview the content in advance, make changes, delete, add, and everything else to make the content more useful to your audience if you so choose. A good chunk is video content.
The content is published on a branded blog designed for lead capture.
They also have landing pages to boost and share.
My Personal Recommendation
Back at You can publish directly to Instagram. Few competitors can say the same and this is a distinct advantage for Back at You. If Instagram is your social media weapon of choice, Back at You has a case for your business.
This isn’t necessarily a con. You can get your email marketing done separately from a company who knows how.
But several of Back at You’s competitors do offer email marketing as part of their bundle, including CityBlast and OutboundEngine. If that is interesting or important to you, there may be other one-stop solutions that do both.
The Bronze plan of SocialBay is $400/yr, or $75/mo. This package gets you automatically posted listings, home value and property website landing pages, and content auto-posted every other day.
The Silver tier is $1200/yr or $125/mo and promises at least a total reach of 6000 every month in your social media channels. That means boosted content posts in order to get followers and impressions.
The Gold plan is the first with paid Facebook ads, promising all the above plus 90-140 leads a year. It sells for $4000/yr or $400/mo.
All plans include a one-time $149 activation fee.
No Email Marketing
- You want a solid, well rounded social media management company that can meet most of your needs on Facebook
- You need a managed Instagram account as well
Use Back At You Media if…
- You want 100% of your social media to be personal branding and authenticity (consider doing it yourself with Buffer, Hootsuite, or Sprout Social)
- You would like an integrated email marketing system as well (consider CityBlast)
- You’d like a CRM/website platform that can also effectively manage your Facebook presence and advertising (consider Ylopo)
