Social media management and marketing for Fresno and Clovis businesses.

Most small business accounts stall because nobody has anything new to post. Throttle Up Media, a Fresno studio since 2000, shoots the photos and video, writes the posts in your voice, schedules them on a calendar you approve, answers comments, and tells you each month what it did.

Is this for you?

  • Your last post was weeks ago, or it was a stock graphic.
  • You post when you remember, and you never know what to say.
  • Comments and messages sit unanswered.
  • Your feed doesn't look like your business.
  • You can't tell whether social brings anyone in the door.

What you get

  • We shoot the material

    For clients near Fresno, we come and make the photos and short videos, sized for each platform.

  • A calendar you approve

    You see every post before it goes out. No filler quote graphics.

  • Written in your voice

    Captions written for your business. If a post could belong to any company in your trade, we rewrite it.

  • Comments and messages answered

    We agree in advance what we answer, what we pass to you, and how quickly.

  • Paid boosts that stay local, when they help

    Boosts aimed at your area, with Meta's location expansion turned off, so you pay to reach people you can serve.

  • Honest reporting

    What we posted, what it reached and what it produced. We tell you when a month was flat.

How it starts

  1. 1

    Look at your accounts

    Which platforms your customers use, what's worked, and what to stop.

  2. 2

    Shoot and plan

    A first shoot, a content calendar, and your approval before anything posts.

  3. 3

    Post, answer, report

    Posts go out on schedule, comments get answered, and you get a plain report each month.

+$543K

more restaurant sales a year than in 2022.

2022 against the 12 months ending May 2026. Not typical and not guaranteed.

What one client's numbers show

We run marketing for a family-owned restaurant, including its social media, Google listing and reviews, email, paid ads and website. We started there in early 2023, and our work grew over time, so not all of it ran for the whole period.

Food, staff, prices, the season and the economy all move a restaurant's sales, so we can't say how much of that rise came from marketing. These results are not typical and not guaranteed.

Read the full results and how we measured them.

What it costs, and what moves the price

You pay a monthly fee, quoted in writing before anything starts. If you add paid boosts, the quote shows what goes to boosts and what goes to our work. Plans are built around 12 months.

Questions to ask any social media manager

  1. Where will the photos come from? If the answer is "you send them," expect a quiet feed. We shoot them.
  2. Who owns the accounts? You do. We work in them as managers.

Before you ask.

How much does social media management cost in Fresno?
We charge a monthly fee, quoted in writing. One account posted a few times a week is a different job from four platforms with monthly shoots.
How often should my business post?
Consistency matters more than volume. A few strong posts a week that you can keep up will beat a daily schedule you drop after a month.
Which platforms should we be on?
The ones your customers use, which is usually fewer than people expect. We'd rather run two accounts well than spread the same work thin across five.
Do you use our photos or take new ones?
Both. We use what you have if it's good, and we shoot new material, because most businesses run out of usable photos fast.
Can you do the plan and let us post?
Yes. Some clients want the calendar, the direction and the material, then post it themselves. That's a smaller job, and we're happy to quote it that way.
Will social media bring in customers?
We can't promise that. We report what each month produced.
Do you only work in Fresno?
No. We work across Fresno County and the Central Valley, and some of our clients are elsewhere in the US and abroad. Tell us where you sell and we'll say whether we're the right fit.
