What is the main goal? Is it growing a community, traffic, brand awareness or sales?
-
How will the investment help you achieve your goals?
-
What social media sites are the most successful and which ones should you create profiles on.
-
How social is the website?
These are just a few things that should be discussed but all of them working together, help tremendously is many different areas of how a business runs. Those who are more technologically savvy, may think that they know all there is to know about social media but social media sites change daily.

-
How well can they assess different market trends and how can they help you be ready for trends to come in the future
-
Can they help you review your business model

While they may not be the greatest at designing awesome profiles, they will certainly be able to teach you how to be short, concise and get your point across in a highly effective manner.

Surely, some seem less effective than others but a social media consultant can guide you through all the intricacies and show you how to use each different site to your advantage. The way one builds a profile and how they move on the Internet will attract a certain type of audience, the power is all yours if you use it properly.
