Social media marketing in India has split into two very different jobs. On Instagram, the job is short video: reels that stop a thumb, show the product or the person, and send the viewer to a DM or a WhatsApp link. On LinkedIn, the job is written credibility: founders and consultants posting specific, useful observations that make a buyer trust them before the first call. Most agencies treat both as 'posting content'. We treat them as separate channels with separate playbooks.
Doing business in Rajkot
Rajkot is the engineering capital of Saurashtra and one of India's largest clusters for diesel engines, submersible pumps, auto components, bearings, machine tools, forgings and castings, with thousands of small and mid-size units in Aji GIDC, Shapar-Veraval, Metoda GIDC and Gondal Road. It is also a major centre for imitation jewellery and silver ornaments traded from Soni Bazaar, kitchenware, watch parts and the famous Rajkot bandhani textiles. The city has a strong agri-linked economy dealing in groundnut, cotton and edible oil, and a growing real estate market along Kalawad Road, 150 Feet Ring Road and Raiya Road. Education, healthcare and hospitality have expanded with the new airport and industrial growth. Gujarati is the language of business, with Hindi and English used for national and export buyers. Rajkot owners are hands-on and cost conscious, and they already run dealer networks on WhatsApp broadcasts and UPI.
What Rajkot businesses use social media marketing for
- Shapar and Metoda pump and engine manufacturers automating dealer enquiries, quotations and dispatch updates on WhatsApp
- Soni Bazaar imitation jewellery wholesalers sharing new designs and order confirmations with retailers across India
- Kitchenware and consumer goods brands running distributor onboarding and reorder flows through WhatsPilot
- Kalawad Road and Raiya Road projects tracking plot and flat leads in Siteboard
Social Media Marketing for Rajkot's key industries
Automobile dealers, auto parts & EV
Dealers, parts suppliers and EV showrooms use Instagram and YouTube for launches, walkarounds and service tips. Deliverables usually include model walkaround videos, delivery day posts with customer consent, service how-to reels, festive offer announcements and live Q&A sessions on EV range and charging. A parts distributor, for instance, can run a series on genuine versus counterfeit parts identification that mechanics share widely. The mistake is posting national campaign creatives without local pricing or contact details. Measure test drive bookings via DMs, service enquiries, engagement on walkaround videos and how many showroom visitors mention a specific reel.
Manufacturing & MSME industrial units
Manufacturing units and MSMEs use LinkedIn and YouTube more than Instagram, with content that shows capability. A good calendar includes factory floor videos, product testing demonstrations, certification announcements, exhibition updates and posts about industry standards. A CNC job-work unit, for example, can post short clips of precision machining with tolerances mentioned and attract enquiries from OEMs. The mistake is treating social media like a consumer brand with festival wishes and nothing else. Measure LinkedIn company follower quality, inbound enquiries from posts, YouTube watch time on demo videos and RFQs that mention social content as the source.
Jewellery, gems & luxury goods
Jewellers use Instagram and Facebook to showcase craftsmanship and occasion pieces. A typical calendar includes bridal collection reels, close-up craftsmanship videos, festive gifting guides, customer wearing shots with consent, and live sessions during Dhanteras or Akshaya Tritiya. A regional jeweller, say, can run an Instagram series on regional bridal styles and collect appointment DMs for trial sessions. The frequent mistake is posting gold rates without a date, or claiming purity without mentioning BIS hallmarking. Measure showroom appointments booked through DMs, saves on collection posts, follower growth in the local area and average bill value of customers who mention social media.
What the first 90 days look like
Month one is foundation: profile optimisation (bio, highlights, link-in-bio to WhatsApp, LinkedIn banner and About section), audit of your last 90 days of posts, competitor review, content pillars agreed, first shoot, and the first two weeks of posts. Reach will be modest; the algorithm is learning who your content is for.
Month two is rhythm: full calendar running, first reels showing which formats your audience responds to, story engagement tools (polls, question boxes) driving DMs, and a DM-to-WhatsApp handoff so enquiries reach sales. Month three is optimisation: we double down on the two or three formats that produced saves, shares and DMs, drop the rest, and introduce light paid boosting on winning posts if the goal is enquiries. By day 90 you should see a clear picture of which content leads to conversations, and a calendar your team could run even without us.
Measuring beyond likes
Likes are the least useful number on the report. We track reach among non-followers (are new people seeing you), saves and shares (is it worth keeping), profile visits and link taps (is it creating intent), DMs and WhatsApp clicks (is it creating conversations), and finally enquiries tagged as 'source: Instagram' or 'source: LinkedIn' in your CRM. For LinkedIn we also track inbound connection requests from target job titles and meeting requests.
The monthly report is two pages, not twenty: what worked, what we are stopping, what we are testing next, and the enquiry count with source. If social media is meant to bring enquiries and it is not, we will say so and propose a different plan rather than sending a prettier report.

Why Rajkot businesses choose AICLEX™
Channel-specific playbooks
Instagram and LinkedIn are run by different people with different processes here. A reel editor does not write your LinkedIn posts, and vice versa.
Enquiries, not vanity
Every calendar is built around a goal such as DMs, webinar sign-ups or site visits, and every report shows enquiries by source from your CRM.
DM to WhatsApp to CRM
We connect Instagram DMs and link taps to WhatsPilot so enquiries are answered instantly and land in your CRM instead of dying in an inbox.
Sustainable production
Monthly shoot days, content pillars and a weekly 30-minute approval slot mean the calendar keeps running even when your team is busy.
