Which social media platforms should a home services company in Henderson focus on?

Facebook first. It's still the most-used platform in East Texas, and it's where people go to ask for recommendations and find local services. Instagram is a strong second if your work is visual — roofing, landscaping, painting, remodeling. We'll help you figure out where your customers actually are instead of spreading thin across every platform.

How often do you post?

That depends on the plan we put together, but consistency matters more than frequency. Three solid posts a week that get engagement will do more for you than daily posts that nobody interacts with. We'd rather do less and do it well.

Can I still post on my own accounts too?

Yes. We'll coordinate with you so things don't overlap or look disjointed. If you snap a photo on a job site and want to share it, go for it. We can work that into the overall plan.

How long before I start seeing results from social media?

Social media is a slow build. You're not going to post for a week and get flooded with calls. Most businesses start seeing real engagement — comments, shares, DMs from potential customers — within the first couple months of consistent posting. Actual booked jobs from social media take longer, but they do come.

Do you run paid ads on Facebook and Instagram too?

We can. Paid social ads work well for home services because you can target specific areas — Henderson, surrounding Rusk County communities, wherever your service area covers. That falls under our SEO+Ads plan starting at $750/mo, which includes both organic posting and paid campaigns.

Social media marketing for home services in Henderson

You've probably tried it yourself already. Posted a few before-and-after photos, maybe shared a coupon, asked people to like your page. Got a handful of reactions from people you already know and then ran out of ideas. That's where most home services companies in Henderson stop — not because social media doesn't work, but because doing it without a plan is just noise.

Why your social media isn't getting you calls

Most home services companies treat social media like a bulletin board. Post when you remember, skip it when you're busy, throw up a stock-looking graphic somebody made in Canva. There's no rhythm to it and no reason for anyone in Rusk County to pay attention.

The problem isn't the platforms. Facebook is still where a huge chunk of Henderson residents spend their time. Instagram works well for showing off finished jobs — new HVAC installs, fresh landscaping, clean gutters, whatever your trade is. The problem is that random posting without a strategy behind it just blends into the feed. Nobody stops scrolling for another generic "Call us today!" post.

And when you're running a home services business, you don't have two hours a day to sit around writing captions and responding to comments. You're on job sites. You're dealing with suppliers. You're quoting work. Social media falls to the bottom of the list because it feels like it isn't doing anything — and honestly, the way most people do it, it isn't.

What we actually do with your social accounts

1. **Build a posting plan tied to your services.** Not a content calendar full of motivational quotes. We map your posts to the services you want to book — seasonal pushes, specific job types, service area coverage around Henderson and the surrounding communities. Every post has a purpose.

2. **Create content that looks like your business, not a template.** Real photos from real jobs. Short captions that sound like a person wrote them. We'll work with what you've got — phone photos from the field are fine. People in Henderson respond to authenticity, not polish.

3. **Engage with your local audience consistently.** Responding to comments, answering DMs, interacting with other local businesses and community pages. This is the part most business owners skip entirely, and it's the part that actually builds a following that leads to service calls.

4. **Track what's working and cut what isn't.** We pay attention to which posts get shares, which ones drive messages, and which ones do nothing. Then we adjust. No monthly reports full of vanity metrics — just straight answers about whether this is bringing you business.

Social media that connects to the rest of your marketing

Social media by itself is one piece. It works best when it's connected to a website that can actually convert visitors into booked jobs. If someone sees your post, clicks through to your page, and finds a site that doesn't load right or doesn't have a way to request a quote quickly — you've lost them.

That's why we think about social media as part of a bigger picture. Your profiles should drive people to a site with your service categories clearly listed, photos of your finished work, your service areas, and a fast way to get in touch. For home services companies around Henderson, that usually means pairing social media management with a site built to handle it — our Website+SEO package starts at $3,500 and gets you a site designed to turn that social traffic into actual calls. If you want ongoing social media management and paid ad support on top of that, our SEO+Ads plan starts at $750/mo.
