TLG Marketing, based at 356 Redondo Ave in Long Beach, runs social media for businesses across the city. We plan a monthly calendar, film and edit short videos at your location, design the graphics, publish to Instagram, Facebook, TikTok or LinkedIn, and answer comments and messages in your voice. Planning meetings and filming days happen in person, at your place or ours.
What it takes to win customers on social media in Long Beach
- Posts that name the street. Belmont Shore centers on 2nd Street, Retro Row on 4th Street and Bixby Knolls on Atlantic Avenue, and customers think of those streets as destinations. Location tags, street names and shout-outs to neighboring businesses make a post read as local and help it surface for people browsing that area.
- A calendar full of local moments. First Fridays brings an art walk to Atlantic Avenue every month. Each April the Cambodia Town Parade and Culture Festival marks Khmer New Year and the Grand Prix takes over downtown, and the Pride parade fills Ocean Boulevard in May. We plan posts before, during and after the events that bring customers past your door.
- Captions in more than one language. Cambodia Town along Anaheim Street is the center of a large Cambodian community, and Spanish is the most common language at home after English. Bilingual captions, checked by a fluent speaker, tell those customers the post is meant for them.
- Different audiences, different platforms. A café near Cal State Long Beach and a warehouse operator near the port shouldn’t post the same way. Short videos on Instagram and TikTok suit student customers, while LinkedIn helps a logistics company earn shippers’ trust and recruit drivers.
How we run a Long Beach social media campaign
We start with a visit to your business to see what customers already post about you and to agree which platforms are worth your time. Then we film a batch of short clips on site, write the month’s posts and send the calendar for your approval before anything goes live. Comments and messages get answers in your voice, and sales questions are passed straight to your staff.
Monthly reports cover reach and engagement along with the messages, calls, bookings and website visits that came from social. Posts that produce inquiries shape the next calendar. The full service is described on our social media marketing page, and longer films come from our video production team.

How to choose a social media agency in Long Beach
Ask who will film on location
Stock photos of palm trees could come from any beach town. Ask whether the agency will come to your shop, kitchen or job site to film real footage, how often, and who edits it. TLG works from 356 Redondo Ave in Long Beach, which makes filming days at your business easy to schedule.
Test their grasp of the local calendar
Ask what they would post for your business around First Fridays in Bixby Knolls, the Cambodia Town parade in April, Grand Prix weekend or Pride in May. A good answer names specific posts and timing for the events your customers actually attend, and says which ones to skip.
Find out who answers your messages
Customers send questions about hours, prices and bookings through Instagram and Facebook. Ask who replies, how quickly, and how sales inquiries reach your staff. If many of your customers speak Spanish or Khmer, ask how the agency handles replies in those languages before you sign.
Judge the work by inquiries
Followers and likes are easy to inflate. Ask for a sample report that shows messages, calls, bookings and website visits from social. Read the agency’s Google reviews, avoid long lock-in contracts, and walk away from anyone offering to sell you followers.

// Questions
Social media in Long Beach: common questions
Can you film content at our Long Beach location?
Yes. We’re based at 356 Redondo Ave, so we can come to your restaurant, shop or job site to film short videos for your posts. We plan each filming visit around a list of posts agreed with you, so one session covers as many of them as possible.
How can a Bixby Knolls business use First Fridays on social media?
Share your plans for the night a few days ahead, post stories while the art walk is on, and follow up with a recap that tags the artists and neighboring businesses. First Fridays happens every month on Atlantic Avenue, so it gives you a dependable reason to post and a monthly crowd to invite in.
Should we post in Khmer or Spanish?
If a real share of your customers speaks either language, yes. Businesses along Anaheim Street in Cambodia Town often serve Khmer speakers, and Spanish is spoken in many Long Beach homes. We write bilingual captions and have them checked by someone fluent on your staff or a translator you trust.
Which platforms suit a restaurant on 2nd Street in Belmont Shore?
We would usually start with Instagram and Facebook, adding TikTok if you or your staff are comfortable on camera. Keep your Google Business Profile current too, because diners often check it for hours, menus and photos before they head down 2nd Street.
Can social media help a logistics company near the port?
Yes, mainly through LinkedIn. Posts about your equipment, certifications, lanes and people help shippers see you as an established operator, and the same page supports hiring drivers and warehouse staff. We report the profile visits, messages and website visits it sends you.
What should we post during Grand Prix weekend or Pride?
Practical posts come first: your hours, how to reach you around the road closures downtown and along Ocean Boulevard, and any event specials. Then add content that fits your business, planned a few weeks ahead so it’s approved before the crowds arrive.
How much does reputation management cost?
It depends on how many locations and social channels you have and how often you want to post. Tell us your budget on the form and we’ll show you what it can achieve.
How long does it take to see a difference?
Profile corrections usually show within days once Google accepts them, though verification can take longer. A steady flow of reviews and an engaged social following take months of consistent work.
What do you need from us to get started?
Manager access to your Google Business Profile and social accounts, your logo and brand assets, and a 30-minute call about your customers and what you want to be known for.
