Когда SMM — high-ROI
Consumer brands со strong visual product
Fashion, beauty, food, jewelry, home goods, travel. Продукт — это контент. Instagram, TikTok, Pinterest, YouTube драйвят discovery; сайт драйвит conversion.
Local services
Рестораны, salons, fitness studios, real estate, healthcare practices. Local social — Instagram, Facebook, TikTok — драйвит walk-in/call-in business который no other channel reaches as efficiently.
B2B с контентом как продуктом
SaaS, agencies, consultancies. LinkedIn (и increasingly X) для B2B audiences. Работа slower чем B2C — fewer impressions per piece, longer consideration cycles — но conversion в high-value relationships высокий.
Бренды таргетящие under-30 audiences
TikTok, Instagram, YouTube Shorts. Discovery на этих платформах драйвит 30-60% category awareness для some demographics.
Recruiting
LinkedIn для senior talent, Instagram для younger. Cost-per-hire через social channels в tech/creative часто 30-50% от cost через job boards.
Когда SMM — low-ROI
Enterprise B2B с deal sizes >€500K
Покупатель €2M enterprise sale не убеждается LinkedIn-контентом. Они убеждаются analyst reports, peer references, product trials. SMM-работа здесь — brand maintenance at best.
Regulated industries
Legal services, certain healthcare, financial services. Правила limit что можно говорить.
Niche industrial/commercial
Если buyer — procurement manager у steel mill, вы не найдёте их через Instagram. Trade publications, conferences, direct outreach, SEO — outperform social на orders of magnitude.
Бизнесы без working сайта
Clear sequence: сайт который converts → SEO foundation → email capture → потом social.
Для чего SMM в 2026
Три функции, roughly:
1. Discovery
Top-of-funnel awareness. Buyer не знал ваш category, brand или product до scroll past.
2. Trust-building
Mid-funnel consideration. Buyer теперь researching. Ваш social — часть как они решают доверять вам.
3. Community + retention
Bottom-of-funnel и post-purchase. Existing customers following вас stay engaged. Compounds over time.
