Social Media for Subcontractors: The Platform Strategy That Gets You Hired
GCs and project owners are vetting you on LinkedIn, Instagram, and Facebook before they call. Here's how our social media service builds your presence on every platform that matters.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions from contractors about our social media management service.
We manage LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok. The platforms we prioritize depend on your target market — GCs and commercial clients are best reached on LinkedIn, while homeowners and residential clients are more active on Instagram and Facebook. We build a platform strategy based on where your specific buyers spend time.
We prefer to use real job site photos and videos when available — authentic content always outperforms stock imagery. We'll send you a simple content capture guide so your team knows what to photograph on site. If you don't have existing content, we can work with what you have and supplement with branded graphics.
Our standard plan includes 5 posts per week across your active platforms. We maintain a consistent posting schedule because platform algorithms reward regularity. You'll receive a monthly content calendar in advance so you can review and approve everything before it goes live.
Yes — but the mechanism is different from paid ads. Social media builds trust and authority over time. GCs who follow your LinkedIn page for three months before a project starts already know your work quality. Homeowners who see your Instagram Reels share them with friends who need your services. The leads are warmer and convert at higher rates than cold outreach.
Yes, we offer paid social media campaign management as an add-on to our organic management service. We build and manage campaigns on LinkedIn, Instagram, and Facebook targeting your specific buyer personas — GCs, developers, homeowners, or property managers — within your geographic market.
Organic social media is a 3–6 month investment. The first 90 days are about building a consistent presence and establishing your brand voice. Meaningful follower growth and inbound leads typically begin between months 3 and 6. Accounts that post consistently and engage authentically grow significantly faster than those that post sporadically.
Yes. Every piece of content goes through an approval workflow before publishing. You'll receive your monthly content calendar 2 weeks in advance with all captions, graphics, and posting times. You can request changes, and nothing goes live without your sign-off.
