The algorithm buries you, new customers can't find you, and your regulars assume nothing is happening. Accounts inactive 3+ weeks lose 30-50% reach 02 ### Hiring a content creator costs more than it returns A local social media manager typically charges $500 to $1,500 per month for a handful of posts. For a restaurant or salon running tight margins, that math rarely works. $500-$1,500/mo for local SMM 03 ### You don't have time to film, edit, and caption every post Between staff, customers, and daily operations, video production drops to the bottom of the list. Good intentions don't keep a posting schedule consistent. Before and after ## Hiring a creator vs. using Viraloop Hiring a creator With Viraloop One to two weeks to onboard and brief a creator First video ready in minutes after setup $500 or more per month for 8-12 posts Starting at $39/mo for daily posting on autopilot Back-and-forth revisions eat days of your time Edit in Content Studio and republish in seconds Creator leaves, your posting stops entirely Campaigns keep running with no single point of failure How it works ## How it works in Viraloop 1. 1 ### Add your business URL Viraloop reads your website, menu, services, and brand voice so every video fits your business without manual briefing. 2. 2 ### Pick your formats and Campaigns Choose Slideshow, Green Screen Meme, or AI Influencer videos.
