If you run a small business in Vancouver, Richmond or anywhere in Metro Vancouver and want Chinese-speaking customers to find you, Dianhong posts on RedNote (Xiaohongshu) for you every day: $197 for the first month, then $99 a month, both in US dollars. We are a California team on the same Pacific time as you, and we write in Chinese for people searching Richmond, Vancouver, Burnaby and the cities around them. Ad management is not included: we do not run paid ads, and we do not promise lead or follower numbers.
What Chinese-speaking Metro Vancouver residents search for
Vancouver's Chinese-speaking community goes back generations, and newer arrivals and international students keep joining it. Richmond is the heart of it for many people, with Burnaby, Vancouver's Chinatown and East Vancouver, Coquitlam and Surrey all part of the picture. Food is a serious subject here, and so is housing. Examples, in English here (the posts use the Chinese wording):
- Food: "Richmond dim sum", "Richmond bubble tea", "Burnaby hot pot", "Vancouver Chinatown bakery".
- Housing: "Vancouver condo rental", "Burnaby basement suite renovation", "Richmond real estate agent", "Richmond roof repair".
- Kids and students: "Richmond tutoring", "Burnaby after-school program", "Coquitlam piano lessons".
- Beauty and errands: "Richmond nail salon", "Richmond eyelash extensions", "Vancouver accountant", "Vancouver insurance agent".
Newer arrivals and students lean on RedNote (Xiaohongshu) to find their way around, and long-settled families use it to see what is new. Both search for a need plus a place, which is exactly what daily posts are built to match.
Metro Vancouver businesses that benefit
- Restaurants, bakeries, dessert and bubble tea shops, in a market where people compare places closely and new spots open all the time.
- Nail, lash and hair salons, where real photos of finished work decide bookings.
- Renovation and repair. Basement suites, condo updates and rain-related roofing and drainage work, for owners who want to explain the job in their own language.
- Real estate agents and rental help for newcomers and students looking from overseas or from another province.
- Tutoring, music lessons and after-school programs in Richmond, Burnaby and Coquitlam.
- Accounting, insurance and immigration paperwork help, where trust comes before the first appointment.
Salon owners can see a sample month in our RedNote guide for nail salons.
Keyword layout: always say BC
Here is a problem most cities do not have: there is a Vancouver in Washington State, and there are Richmonds in California and elsewhere. A post tagged only "Richmond nail salon" can end up in front of the wrong people. So every layout here includes a location anchor:
- Main city plus BC: Richmond BC or Vancouver BC with your category in most titles ("Richmond BC dim sum").
- Neighbor cities in rotation: Burnaby, Coquitlam, Surrey, New Westminster and North Vancouver each get posts on a schedule, depending on where your customers come from.
- Neighborhoods for Vancouver businesses: Chinatown, East Vancouver and others where people really search by area.
- Region tags: Metro Vancouver, Greater Vancouver and Canada.
If the weekly report shows more questions from Burnaby than Richmond, the rotation shifts.
Prices in US dollars, same time zone, fully remote
Currency. Dianhong's prices are in US dollars: $197 USD for the first month, then $99 USD a month. Payment goes through a Stripe link by card or WeChat Pay, and your card or wallet provider converts to Canadian dollars at its own rate, so the amount on your statement in CAD will vary a little from month to month.
Time zone. Our team is in California, on Pacific time like you. Posts go out during your day, and routine comments get a same-day reply while you are open.
Remote delivery. Nobody comes to shoot, in Vancouver or anywhere else; that is part of how the price stays at $99. You get a phone checklist for your business. A Richmond restaurant sends today's dishes, the storefront and any seasonal menu. A renovation company sends before and after from the same spot, a close-up of the finish, and the city of the job. You send them once a week by text or email, in English or Chinese. We write in Chinese, publish one post a day, handle routine comments and send the weekly report. Bookings, quotes and the work stay with you.
Month one is setup; daily posting starts in month two. Dianhong serves Vancouver and Toronto in Canada, and in the US the Bay Area, Los Angeles, New York, Seattle, Houston, Dallas and Chicago.
What's included and what's not
Included
- First month, $197 USD one time: account positioning, help with registration and professional-account verification (approval is the platform's decision), profile build and one mini website.
- From month two, $99 USD a month: one image-and-text post every day, 30 a month, each with cover, title, body and topic tags; city and category keyword layout; daily account activity; basic comment upkeep with same-day replies; a weekly report. A missed day is a breach on our side.
- Terms: after you confirm, we send a Stripe payment link (card or WeChat Pay). Billed monthly, no annual contract, no hidden fees, stop any month. No free trial. The account is registered with your business information and stays yours, posts included, if you stop.
Not included
- Ad management. We can show you how to run ads yourself; we do not run them, and the budget stays with you.
- Promised results. We do not promise leads, followers or foot traffic. Anyone who promises you numbers is lying to you.
- On-site shoots. Nobody comes to your shop or job site to film.

FAQ
- Are your prices in Canadian dollars?
- No, they are in US dollars: $197 USD for the first month, then $99 USD a month. You pay by card or WeChat Pay through a Stripe link, and your provider converts to Canadian dollars at its own rate.
- My salon is in Richmond. Won't the posts get mixed up with Richmond in California?
- That is why we tag Richmond BC, Metro Vancouver and Canada on your posts rather than Richmond alone. Your keywords are set so the posts reach people searching in Metro Vancouver.
- Will someone come to my restaurant to take photos?
- No. Dianhong does not do on-site shoots anywhere. You shoot on your phone from a checklist we give you, and we turn those photos into daily posts.
- Business slows down for me in some months. Can I stop and come back?
- You can stop any month, since billing is monthly with no annual contract. The account and every post stay yours while you are away.
