Social Media Marketing for Service Businesses That Don’t Have Time for Social Media

Most of the owners I work with are running calls, managing crews, or turning wrenches all day. Social media is important, but it usually drops to the bottom of the list.

I fix that by building simple, consistent, done-for-you social media that keeps your business visible, builds trust, and supports your other marketing — without you living on your phone.

No trendy dances. No fake influencer stuff. Just real content that makes your business look active, professional, and reliable.

Why Social Media Still Matters for Local Service Pros

Your customers are on Facebook, Instagram, and sometimes TikTok — even if they’re not “posting” much.

They:

  • Check if your business is real

  • Look at photos of your work

  • Read reviews and comments

  • Decide if they trust you enough to call

When your social media is active and consistent:

  • You look established and trustworthy

  • You stay top-of-mind in your local area

  • Your Google Business Profile and website perform better

  • Referrals and repeat customers see you more often

And when it’s dead or outdated?

People start to wonder if you’re still in business.

What I Do for Your Social Media (So You Don’t Have To)

I focus on practical, simple, and repeatable content that makes sense for service businesses — not brand campaigns built for big corporations.

Here’s how I help:

Content Strategy Built Around Your Reality

  • Posts designed for local service pros, not “lifestyle brands”

  • Content that matches your services, seasons, and real jobs

  • Clear calls to action: call, message, or book

Done-For-You Monthly Content

  • Pre-planned posts for Facebook (and others if needed)

  • Mix of educational tips, before/after, reviews, FAQs, and offers

  • Templates that match your branding and style

Scheduling & Automation

  • I schedule posts in advance so you don’t have to think about it

  • Your feed stays active even when you’re buried in work

  • You can still post in real time if you want — my content fills the gaps

Reputation & Review Support

  • Highlight great reviews in posts

  • Create “thank you” posts for customer shout-outs

  • Build social proof that supports your GBP and website

Integrated With Your Other Marketing

Social is not a standalone thing. I make sure your social content:

  • Matches your GBP updates

  • Supports your website services and promos

  • Syncs with special offers or slow seasons

  • Feeds into automations (DMs, contact forms, follow-ups) where it makes sense

Why My Social Media Approach Is Different

Most agencies treat social as a design project or content factory.
I treat it as support for your real-world business.

  • I work with service pros all day.
    Locksmiths, towing, mechanics, pest control, landscaping, cleaning, contractors — I know what actually gets engagement.

  • I don’t overcomplicate it.
    You don’t need complex funnels just to keep your page alive. You need simple, consistent content that fits your reality.

  • I focus on calls and trust, not likes.
    Vanity metrics don’t pay the bills. A feed that builds trust, answers questions, and shows your work does.

  • It’s part of the full RedSky system.
    Social plugs into everything else I do for you:
    GBP → Website → SEO → Social → Reviews → Automations → Leads

How Working With Me Works

1. Quick Strategy Call
We talk about your services, area, customers, and how you currently use social (if at all).

I build a clear plan for what we’ll post each month:
– Educational tips

FAQ

Do I have to send you content?
If you can send the occasional job photo, that’s perfect — but I don’t rely on you to do all the work. I can build a lot of content from what you already have and what your business does.

Which platforms do you manage?
Most of my clients focus on Facebook first, then add Instagram, and sometimes TikTok or others if it makes sense. We’ll start where your customers actually are.

Can I still post my own stuff?
Absolutely. You can hop in and post anytime. My content just makes sure your feed is never empty.

Will this get me more leads right away?
Social media by itself is more about visibility and trust than instant leads. It works best when paired with a strong GBP, good website, and review system. Together, they absolutely help bring in more calls and messages.

Can you match my existing brand or tone?
Yes. I can write in your voice — friendly, direct, no fluff — and use your logos, photos, and colors so it all feels like you.

If your social media has been sitting on the back burner because you’re too busy actually running the business, that’s exactly who I built this for.

Let me take social off your plate so your business still shows up, stays visible, and builds trust every week.
