Dianhong (by Caliradi) is a social media agency in Mountain View that runs RedNote (Xiaohongshu) for local businesses in San Jose and across Silicon Valley that want Chinese-speaking customers: restaurants, salons, contractors, real estate agents and tutoring centers. It costs $197 once for first-month setup, then $99 a month for one post every day, city keywords, same-day comment replies and a weekly report in English. If you also want paid ads run for you, the parent company Caliradi does that separately.
What a San Jose small business gets
- Month one, $197 one time: account positioning, registration and professional-account verification help (approval is the platform's decision), profile build and a mini website.
- From month two, $99 a month: one image-and-text RedNote post every day (30 a month) with cover, title, body and topic tags; search keywords built around your city and category; daily account activity; same-day replies to routine comments; a weekly report in English. A missed day is a breach on our side.
- Terms: billed monthly through Stripe (card or WeChat Pay), no trial, no annual contract, cancel any month. The account is registered with your business information and stays with you, posts included, if you stop.
What you send us, and what a week looks like
You do not need to write Chinese or learn RedNote. Once a week you send a handful of phone photos from a checklist we provide: today's dishes, a finished job, your storefront, your team at work. Tell us about specials, new services and changes in hours. We turn that into seven posts for the week, publish one each day at the time your customers are searching, answer routine comments the same day, and send you a short report in English that shows what went out and what people asked. Booking, quoting and serving the customer stay with you.
Cities we cover in Silicon Valley and beyond
Keywords are written per city, because people search a city plus what they want. In Silicon Valley that means San Jose, Mountain View, Sunnyvale, Santa Clara, Cupertino, Palo Alto, Milpitas and Fremont, plus San Francisco and the wider Bay Area. The same service runs for local businesses in Los Angeles, New York, Seattle, Houston, Dallas, Chicago, Vancouver and Toronto.
Our office is at 800 W El Camino Real STE 180, Mountain View, CA 94040, and the team works in English and Chinese.
Social media only, or ads too?
| You want | Who does it | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Daily RedNote presence for Chinese-speaking customers | Dianhong by Caliradi | $197 setup, then $99/mo |
| Meta, Google and TikTok ads run for you | Caliradi Ads | $197 validation month + $99/mo management; ad budget paid to the platform |
| Ads, content and leads run by one team | Caliradi managed growth | From $497/mo with a 90-day written guarantee |
Dianhong itself does not manage ad spend, and nobody here promises a number of leads or followers.
How to choose a social media agency on a small budget
- Ask what is delivered every month, in numbers: posts, platforms, reply times.
- Ask whether ad spend is inside the fee. If it is not, who holds the ad account?
- Ask for month-to-month terms. A content service should earn its next month.
- Ask who owns the account if you stop.
- Ask what the report leads with: inquiries and bookings, or likes.
