What is a fair monthly price for maintaining a wordpress site, posting an article a week onto the site and social media pages?
I draft the content. May need to small bit of seo work and the creation of an image or two.

    This is one of those things where it can be anything from £50 - £200 depending on the person.

    As an example.
    You send the article in exactly the right format and an image that doesn't need compressing/resizing/renaming and it might take just 5 minutes to add to the site.

    You send an article that needs formatting, a photo that needs sorting, cropping, sizing, and it could be 30 minutes work

    With WP, why pay a third party - if you can use MS Word, you can add a post....

    Re SM, you can get a plugin that can auto post content to several SM channels!

    The better question is to ask what you want to achieve. If nobody uses SM to look for trademark services then there is no point in posting.

    Same with the articles, do you know what you want the achieve by their creation?

    And there is no such thing as a bit of SEO. You either go all in or you don’t bother.

    If you really want to pay someone for nugatory work the cost is as @UKSBD suggested.

    A fair monthly price could be anywhere between £100 to £500 depending on the scope of work required. SEO would be toward the higher end of the scale for this type of work, ensuring the images are licensed. Additionally, to reduce maintenance costs, perhaps you might want to consider using automated tools and plugins for social media posting, allowing you to focus resources on effective SEO strategies. ;):)

    But only if your target client is looking on SM for Trademark services. If they aren't it's probably not worth the effort.
