The cost drivers are how many posts, how many platforms, whether photography or video is produced, whether replies and messages are handled, and whether paid promotion is managed. Scheduling tools handle the posting, not the deciding. ## What drives the cost - Number of posts per month and number of platforms - Whether content is produced or supplied by you - Photography or video versus graphics and text - Whether comments and direct messages are handled - Whether paid promotion is planned and managed - Reporting depth and how often strategy is revisited ## Can a scheduling tool replace a manager? A scheduling tool publishes what you already decided to post. It does not decide what is worth saying, write it, shoot it or answer the person who replies. For a business with someone willing to plan and write, a tool plus a simple monthly plan is genuinely enough. For a business where nobody has the time, a tool just makes the silence tidier. ## What we do and do not recommend We recommend fewer, better posts tied to real work and real customers over daily filler. For most Irish SMEs a steady monthly rhythm with proof of actual jobs outperforms volume. We do not push email marketing or extra channels unless you ask or the business genuinely needs them. ## How we quote it No prices are published. We agree the number of posts, who produces the content and whether messages are handled, then give you a fixed monthly figure in writing. See [social content and scheduling](/services/social-content-scheduling). ## How many posts a month do I actually need? Consistency beats volume. A steady weekly post tied to real work usually outperforms daily filler for a small Irish business. ## Do you shoot photos and video? It can be included in scope. Many clients supply photos from real jobs, which tend to perform better than stock anyway. ## Do you run paid ads too? Paid promotion can be managed alongside the content. It is scoped separately so you can see what is content and what is spend. ## Can I cancel? Yes. Monthly work is agreed in writing with notice, not locked into a long contract. ## What happens next You get a reply from Joey Bray the same working day.

Digital Bridge scopes AI integration after reviewing the workflow, systems, data, governance and operating responsibility involved. A tailored written proposal is provided after discovery rather than a standard published figure. ### How long does a production AI build take? A feasibility assessment runs three to five weeks. A baseline production build typically runs eight to twelve weeks from signed scope to go-live, including a seven-day shadow-mode pilot before the system takes live traffic. Multi-system programmes are sequenced into phases so value lands before the full programme completes. ### Can Irish grant funding cover this work? Often, yes. Enterprise Ireland's Digital Discovery Grant funds up to 80% of an eligible feasibility assessment, and Digital Process Innovation funds up to 50% of eligible implementation costs. Local Enterprise Office schemes cover smaller digital projects. Eligibility is decided by the funder, never by us. ### Who owns the code and the prompts? You do. Every engagement transfers full source-code and prompt ownership on final payment. Systems run on EU-hosted infrastructure with provider training disabled and a signed data processing agreement. There is no vendor lock-in and no proprietary runtime you have to keep paying us for. ## Related pages - [Web design Ireland](https://digitalbridge.ie/web-design-ireland) - [SEO services Ireland](https://digitalbridge.ie/seo-services-ireland) - [Areas we serve](https://digitalbridge.ie/areas-we-serve) - [Our work](https://digitalbridge.ie/our-work) ## Contact Digital Bridge, Gorey Business Park, Gorey, Co.
