Forth Media is a social media agency for restaurants, venues and local businesses across Central Scotland. We create the content, write the captions, post on Instagram, Facebook and TikTok, reply to comments and report on what’s working each month. Unlike most agencies, we shoot the photos and reels ourselves, at your business.

Social media shouldn’t be another job on your list

You know you should post more. But between staff rotas, suppliers and customers, Instagram is the first thing to slip. Then you post three times in a week to catch up, go quiet for a month, and wonder why nothing changes. Consistent, good-quality posting is what works, and it’s exactly what’s hardest to do yourself.

What’s included in our social media management services

Monthly content plan

A plan built around your menu, offers, events and seasons, approved by you before anything goes live.

Photos and reels, shot by us

A regular shoot at your business, so your feed shows real food, real people and real work. No stock photos.

Posting and scheduling

Posts, reels and stories published at the times your audience is most active.

Captions and hashtags

Captions in your voice, with local hashtags and clear calls to action.

Community management

Replies to comments and messages so customers aren’t left waiting.

Monthly report

A simple summary of reach, engagement, followers and enquiries, plus what we’ll do next month.

A social media marketing agency that creates its own content

Most social media marketing agencies ask you to send photos. We come and take them. That’s the biggest difference between us and other agencies: our content creation and food photography feed straight into your social media, so your accounts always have fresh, professional content.

Social media management agency for Instagram, Facebook and TikTok

Each platform works differently. Instagram rewards reels and good-looking grids. Facebook is still where many local customers check events and opening hours. TikTok can reach thousands of people nearby who’ve never heard of you. As a social media management agency, we tailor the content to each one rather than posting the same thing everywhere.

Organic posts plus paid reach

Organic posts keep existing followers engaged. To reach new people, a small ad budget goes a long way. Our Full Package combines social media management with Meta, Google and TikTok ads, so your best posts are seen by the right people.

What good social media looks like for a local business

You don’t need millions of followers. You need the right people nearby to see you often enough to remember you. For most local businesses, that means:

  • Posting consistently, every week, so you stay in people’s feeds.
  • Showing real things: your food, your team, your work, your venue.
  • Using reels, because short video reaches far more people than photos alone.
  • Replying quickly to comments and messages, because many of them are bookings or enquiries.
  • Giving people a reason to act: a new dish, an event, an offer or a link to book.

That’s what our social media management is built around. It’s simple, but it only works if it happens every week, which is why most businesses hand it over to us.

Social media management FAQs

What does a social media agency do?

A social media agency plans, creates and publishes content on your social media accounts, responds to comments and messages, and reports on results. Forth Media also shoots the photos and reels, so you don’t need to supply any content.

How much do social media management services cost?

We quote every project individually, so you only pay for what you need. Social media management is included in our Growth package. See packages for what’s included.

Which platforms do you manage?

Instagram, Facebook and TikTok as standard.

Do I get to approve posts before they go out?

Yes. We share the monthly plan and content in advance, and nothing is posted until you’re happy with it.

How many posts will you publish each month?

It depends on your package and goals. We agree the number of posts, reels and stories with you upfront, and it is set out in your quote.

Is there a social media company in Fife or Falkirk that also shoots content?

Yes, that’s us. We cover Fife, Falkirk, West Lothian, Stirling, Clackmannanshire and Lanarkshire, and we create the photos and reels ourselves.
