A restaurant & live-music venue in Sacramento handed us a nearly-new Instagram account. One season later the room is setting attendance records.
2.8 million views in the last 90 days alone — from an account that barely existed at the start of the season.
A relatively new Instagram account, grown almost 7× in one season — real local followers, not bought reach.
Multiple sold-out shows this season — attendance records the venue had never hit before.
One season of reel-first content, posted on the days that actually reach.
The audit found the leaks. The system plugs them.
We audited a full year of posts, flipped the mix to reels, gave every show days of runway with a real hook, and posted when the audience is actually looking. Same venue, same budget — different engine.
Results on a live dashboard.
Every client gets a private, auto-updating dashboard: reach and engagement, Google rankings and calls, website traffic, reviews — refreshed daily. The owner watches it move from his phone. That's the standard.
Screenshots from the venue's Instagram Insights, taken October 9, 2026. Nothing edited but the phone's status bar. Account name withheld.
What we actually did
- Audited a full year of posting and found the leaks — static flyers instead of video, same-day announcements with no runway, posting on the lowest-reach days.
- Rebuilt the engine reel-first: every show gets days of runway with a real hook; food, crowd and behind-the-scenes content fills the gaps.
- Made it repeatable — a recognisable brand system the venue can sustain week after week, not a one-time spike.
- Posted when the audience is actually looking, and engineered conversation so the algorithm keeps pushing.
The results: nearly 7× follower growth in a single season, 2.8 million views in the last 90 days, and multiple sold-out nights — record highs for the venue.
