Social media for tradespeople

You build the jobs. We'll build your feed.

Most plumbers, electricians and builders know they should be posting, but after a ten hour day on site nobody wants to write captions. So the Facebook page goes quiet, the last post is from 2023, and the homeowner checking you out picks the firm that looks busier.

99social runs your Facebook, Instagram and Google Business Profile for you. Before and after posts show off your workmanship, reviews prove you turn up and tidy up, and well timed posts bring in enquiries to keep the diary full through the quiet months.

You get a dedicated account manager who learns your trade, your area and the jobs you want more of. You approve everything before it goes live, and we handle the rest.

Why it matters

Why trades need social media

Before anyone lets an electrician, plumber or builder into their home, they check you out. They look at your Facebook page, scroll your photos and ask in the local community group who people recommend. If you post your work regularly, you are the name that comes up. If you don't, they hire whoever does.

A steady feed of finished jobs also does your selling for you. It shows the standard of your work, the people behind the van and how tidily you leave a site. That means fewer tyre kickers, better quality enquiries and less time spent quoting for jobs you never win.

Questions

Trades social media FAQs

What kinds of trades do you work with?

We manage social media for builders, roofers, plumbers, electricians, kitchen and bathroom fitters, landscapers, decorators and other home improvement businesses across the UK, from sole traders to firms with several teams.

Which social media platforms should a tradesperson be on?

Facebook and Google Business Profile matter most for most trades, because that is where homeowners look for local recommendations. Instagram is ideal for before and after photos, and TikTok suits time-lapses and jobs in progress on Standard and Pro.

Can you use photos from my jobs?

Yes, and we recommend it. Send us photos from site whenever you can, even quick phone snaps, and we will turn them into polished posts. If you are too busy, we use high quality images that suit your trade.

How much does social media management for trades cost?

Our plans start at £99+VAT a month for Basic, £199+VAT for Standard and £299+VAT for Pro, with no contract. A traditional agency typically charges £500+ a month.

I am booked up for months. Is social media still worth it?

Yes. A busy diary is the best time to build your profile, so the enquiries keep coming when work quietens down. It also lets you be choosier about the jobs you take on and price them properly.

Is there a minimum contract?

No. We charge upfront for the month ahead, and you can cancel, pause or come back whenever you need. Just give us at least ten working days' notice before your next billing date.

Do I get to approve posts before they go live?

Yes. Your content goes into your dashboard the week before it is due, so you can review it and request changes. If we don't hear from you, it is published as planned.

Can you reply to comments and messages too?

Yes, with our community management add-on from £40+VAT an hour. A real person replies to comments and enquiries while you are on site, so no quote request slips through the net.
