Do you work with businesses in Berkeley as well as Oakland?
+
Yes. We work with businesses across the East Bay, including Berkeley, Emeryville, Alameda and San Leandro. Content and targeting are planned around the specific neighborhoods and audiences you serve, from students near the university to families in the hills. Paid targeting follows the same map, so budget only reaches people who can actually visit.
Can you partner with local creators for our social media?
+
We identify local creators whose audiences match your customers, manage outreach, briefs and agreements, and plan collaborations such as tastings, launches or events. Local creator partnerships bring credibility in Oakland that brand posts alone rarely achieve. Every collaboration is tracked with its own link or code.
How do you prove social media is working?
+
We track reservations, ticket sales, online orders, calls and direction requests from social, using tracked links, promo codes and platform conversion data. Monthly reports show which content and campaigns brought customers, so budget moves toward what works. You see the numbers in plain language, with next month's plan attached.
How much does social media marketing in Oakland cost?
+
It depends on platforms, video volume, creator collaborations and paid budget. We quote a fixed monthly scope after a short audit. Ad spend is separate from our fee, so you always see exactly what reaches the platforms and what pays for the work.
Which platforms matter most for Oakland businesses?
+
Instagram and TikTok for restaurants, retail, venues and beauty, Facebook for neighborhood and family audiences, and LinkedIn for tech and professional firms. We commit to the one or two platforms where your customers spend time rather than spreading thin.
Can you manage our social if we only have a small team?
+
Yes. Your staff capture short clips on a phone using our filming guide, and we handle planning, editing, captions, posting, replies and reporting. Most owners spend under an hour a week on social once the routine is set.
Where is Baclinc based, and does that matter for Oakland clients?
+
Baclinc is headquartered in Mumbai, India, and we work with clients across the United States and worldwide. It matters in your favor. You get a senior in-house team at a price no comparable US agency can offer, working while you sleep, with a fixed daily overlap window for live calls. Digital work has not required a shared zip code for a decade. What it requires is people who are genuinely excellent at it.
How do you handle the time difference with Oakland?
+
It is an advantage, not a problem. We run about half a day ahead of US time, so work you brief at the end of your day is finished when you start the next one. You effectively get an extra working day every night. We hold a fixed daily overlap window for calls, and we are reachable on Slack, email or WhatsApp through your working day.
How much does it cost to work with Baclinc from the US?
+
Engagements start at $2,000 per month, and most sit meaningfully above that depending on scope and speed. That buys you senior specialists and a standard of work that US agencies charge several times more for. We are not the cheapest option and we are not trying to be. We are the best value at this level of quality anywhere in the world.
Do you work with US companies already?
+
Yes. We work with brands across the United States and internationally, and we have run US ecommerce accounts including a dropshipping store that did $10,000+ in sales in 20 days at 5.5x ROAS on TikTok Ads. Our team works to a global standard because our clients compete globally.
Who actually does the work?
+
Senior in-house specialists. 25+ people across SEO, engineering, content, paid media and creative, all employed by us, all in one office. The people who win the pitch are the people who run your account. We do not outsource, we do not hand you to a junior queue, and we do not staff accounts with whoever is free.
How do communication and reporting work?
+
You get a named senior lead, a shared channel on Slack or your tool of choice, live dashboards you can open at any time, a weekly written read on what changed and what we are testing, and a monthly review against the targets we agreed. Everything is in English, everything is documented, and nothing depends on you chasing us.
Who owns the work and the accounts?
+
You do, completely. Your ad accounts, your analytics, your website, your content and your creative assets stay in your ownership throughout and after the engagement. We work inside your accounts, not behind a wall. There is no lock-in, no proprietary platform you have to keep paying for, and no hostage situation if you leave.
How do contracts and payment work for US clients?
+
Straightforward monthly agreements, invoiced in USD, paid by international bank transfer or card. No long lock-ins. We work on rolling terms because we would rather keep clients on results than on contracts. Confidentiality agreements are standard and we sign yours.
