Posting your logo on a white background every Monday doesn't get you jobs. Here's what actually works for plumbers, roofers, electricians, and every other trade.
01. Before and After Posts ā Every Single Time
Nothing sells your work better than a side-by-side of before and after. Take a photo before you start every job. Take one when you're done. Post it with a one-line caption: what the problem was, what you fixed, and where. That's it. That post will generate more DMs than any graphic you ever made.
Example Caption That Works
"Water heater replacement in Mooresville, NC. Old unit was 14 years old and leaking under the house. New 50-gallon installed same day. If your water heater is over 10 years old, DM us for a free inspection. š Serving Lake Norman area."
02. Video Gets 3x More Reach Than Photos
You don't need a professional video crew. A 30-second phone video of you explaining what you fixed ā talking directly to camera ā outperforms every polished graphic. People hire people. They want to see who's coming to their house.
Post it as a Reel on Instagram and a Short on YouTube. Same video, two platforms, double the reach.
03. Post in Your Service Area, Not Just Your Business Name
Every post should mention a city or neighborhood. "Just finished a roof in Huntersville" ranks your profile for local searches. People search Instagram and Facebook for local contractors. If your posts never mention your city, you're invisible to that search.
Stop Posting This
- ā¢ Your logo on a colored background
- ā¢ Generic "call us today" graphics
- ā¢ Holiday posts with no connection to your business
- ā¢ Stock photos of tools you don't use
Post This Instead
- ā¢ Job site before/afters
- ā¢ 30-second walkthrough videos
- ā¢ Customer reviews as graphics
- ā¢ "Did you know" tips about your trade
04. Respond to Every Comment and DM Same Day
The algorithm rewards engagement. If someone comments "how much does this cost?" and you don't reply, Instagram stops showing your posts to people like them. Reply fast, move the conversation to DM or phone, book the job.
