The best advert for a tradesperson is the work itself
Before and after photos of real jobs. Happy customer reviews. Your van parked outside a job in the local area. This is the content that gets trades businesses more bookings.
Get your free assessmentSocial media for tradespeople isn't about viral content or influencer marketing. It's about being visible in your local community. When someone in Sunderland needs a plumber, they ask on the local Facebook group. If your business has been posting quality work and engaging with the community, someone will tag you. That's how local trade social media works.
The problem is consistency. Most tradespeople start strong: a few before-and-after photos, a couple of review shares. Then work gets busy and posting stops. Three months of silence later, the algorithm has forgotten you exist and your page looks abandoned to anyone who checks.
Consistent, simple content beats sporadic perfection. A quick photo of today's finished job, posted regularly, does more for your business than a polished video posted once a year.
We keep your social media active so you can focus on the work.
Before and after project photos. Customer review highlights. Seasonal tips and reminders. Community engagement in local groups. A review generation system that turns happy customers into online advocates. All managed for you, with content that looks professional without being corporate.
Our Process
Common Concerns
I'm a plumber, not a content creator. I don't have time for social media.
You don't need to be. Send us a photo of the finished job, we do the rest. Literally 30 seconds on your phone between jobs. We handle the writing, the scheduling, the engagement, and the reporting. Your time investment is minimal.
Will posting on Facebook actually get me more work?
In the North East, absolutely. Local Facebook groups are where people ask for trade recommendations. A business with regular posts, good reviews, and community engagement gets recommended more often. We've seen trade businesses go from zero social media enquiries to 5-10 per month within three months of consistent posting. It's not instant, but it builds.
My customers are older and aren't on social media.
Facebook's fastest-growing demographic is over-50s. In the North East, local community Facebook groups are used heavily by homeowners of all ages. Even if your customer isn't on social media, their son, daughter, or neighbour is, and they're the ones searching for a recommendation. Being visible on social media means you get mentioned in those conversations.
