Your work is your best advert. Snap the finished job, write a line about it and schedule it for later, when you are off the tools.
The challenge
Why social media gets hard
You are out on jobs all day, and most of your customers find you locally or by word of mouth. A Facebook Page that has not been updated in months can put people off, but keeping it current comes a long way behind the day's work.
How Orbis Social helps
Where it fits
- 1
Save your photos

Seasonal reminders
Plan posts around the times of year when your customers need you.
- 4
Office and field
Whoever does the admin can schedule posts, using ideas from the team.
Good practice
Worth keeping in mind
Get customers' permission before posting pictures of their homes, and avoid showing house numbers, car registrations or anything else that could identify them. Make sure that any claims about your qualifications or accreditations are true and current.
