Social Media Posting for Trade Businesses


Done-for-you social media posting service for trade businesses, £149/mo, AJ Web Design Cambridge

Everyone knows they should post about their work. Almost no tradesman actually keeps it up, because after a ten-hour day the last thing you want to do is write captions. This service removes the effort entirely: you snap a few photos on the job and send them over. I write the captions, schedule them, and post three times a week to Facebook and Instagram. Your pages stay active without you thinking about it.

Social media posting is a done-for-you service that publishes three posts a week to your Facebook and Instagram. You send job photos from your phone; I write the captions, schedule them, and post consistently. Price: £149 per month. Cancel anytime.

Consistency beats brilliance on social media. Three honest before-and-after job photos a week, posted reliably for a year, does far more for a local trade than one clever campaign and then silence. The hard part is keeping it up, which is exactly the part this takes off your plate.

Who this service is for

Any trade business that knows it should post but never finds the time: plumbers, electricians, builders, decorators, landscapers, roofers, joiners, and barbers whose work photographs well. It suits owners who take the odd job photo anyway and just need someone to turn those into consistent posts.

It's fully remote and low-effort for you. Send photos through WhatsApp whenever you finish a job. If a week is quiet, I work from what you've sent and a bank of your previous photos, so the posts keep flowing.


Why done-for-you is the only version that works

The graveyard of trade Facebook pages is full of good intentions, a burst of posts in the first month, then nothing. The reason is always the same: posting is one more admin job competing with actual paid work, and paid work wins every time. The only reliable fix is to remove yourself from the loop for everything except the one step only you can do: taking the photo.

Active social pages also quietly support your other marketing. Fresh posts give customers who found you on Google a reason to trust you, and they keep your business visible to past customers who might refer you or come back.

Pages not set up yet? Start with profile setup for £147 so your Facebook and Instagram are branded and complete before the posting begins. Setup once, then keep it alive.

What it costs versus the alternatives

A social media agency typically charges £400–£1,000 a month and often wants a contract. Doing it yourself is free but almost never sustained. At £149 a month with no contract, this is the middle path: consistent, done-for-you posting at a price a single trade business can justify.

Frequently asked questions about social media posting

However suits you, most trades just WhatsApp them to me as they finish jobs. You don't need to caption or organise anything; a few photos a week is plenty for me to work from.
I keep a bank of your previous photos and can work from those, plus tips, seasonal reminders, and reviews, so the posts keep going even when you're too busy to send anything new.
Yes, every post goes to both, adapted so it reads naturally on each. If you only use one platform, that's fine too.
Ideally, yes. If they're missing or half-finished, start with profile setup at £147 so the pages are branded and complete before posting begins.
No. It's £149 a month, rolling, cancel any time. Everything I post stays on your pages if you stop.
Like you. I write them in a natural, local, trade voice with a clear call to action, not stiff corporate filler. You can review the style early on and I'll adjust it.
The £149 covers three photo-based posts a week to Facebook and Instagram: captions, hashtags and scheduling. It does not include paid advertising or ad spend, filming or editing video, replying to comments and messages, or other platforms. If you want any of those, contact me and I'll give you a price.
I need to be added as an editor on your Facebook Page and Instagram business account. You stay the owner, you can remove my access at any time, and I never need your personal passwords.
