Do plumbers in a small town like Seven Points really need social media?

More than you'd think. Folks around Lake Palestine are on Facebook constantly — community groups, buy/sell pages, neighborhood posts. When someone asks for a plumber recommendation in one of those groups, you want your name to already be familiar. That only happens if you've been showing up.

What platforms would you focus on for a plumbing company?

Facebook first, hands down. That's where Seven Points and the surrounding lake communities are most active. Instagram second, mostly for job photos and short videos. We wouldn't waste your time on platforms where your customers aren't hanging out.

How often would you post on my accounts?

Several times a week. Enough to stay visible without being annoying. The mix would include job photos, tips for homeowners, seasonal reminders, and posts that make it easy for someone to call you or request an estimate right then.

Can social media actually get me plumbing jobs or is it just brand awareness?

Both. Direct messages and estimate requests come through social profiles all the time. But the bigger play is that when someone's toilet is overflowing and they search for a plumber, they're more likely to pick the name they've been seeing in their feed for weeks over a complete stranger.

I don't have time to take photos on every job. Is that a problem?

Nope. Even a quick phone photo here and there gives us something to work with. We can also build content around tips, seasonal advice, and your service area without needing a photo from every single job. A few good ones go a long way.

Nobody's Hiring a Plumber Because of a Meme

But they are hiring plumbers they recognize. That's the whole point of showing up on social media consistently — not going viral, not dancing on Reels. Just being the name folks in Seven Points and around Lake Palestine already know before their water heater dies at 11 PM on a Tuesday.

What We'd Actually Post (and Why)

Before-and-after photos of real jobs. A quick video walkthrough of a tankless water heater install. A post reminding lake house owners to winterize their pipes. Maybe a photo from Seven Points Park after you finished a job nearby. Stuff that looks like you, not like it came from a stock photo factory.

We'd also make sure your emergency contact info and service area are front and center on every platform. Someone scrolling Facebook at midnight with a burst pipe doesn't want to dig through your page to find a phone number. And we'd set up a way for people to request estimates right from your social profiles — no friction, no runaround.

The Part Where This Actually Connects to Your Business

Posting three times a week means nothing if it doesn't bring in work. So here's how we think about it. Every post ties back to one of a few things: getting a phone call, getting an estimate request, or getting someone to remember your name next time they need a plumber. That's it. No vanity metrics.

Seven Points is small. Henderson County isn't huge either. That actually works in your favor on social media. You don't need 10,000 followers. You need the 200 homeowners around Lake Palestine Marina and the waterfront neighborhoods to know who you are and trust you. A smaller audience that's actually local is worth more than a big one full of bots and people three states away.

We'll handle the posting schedule, the content ideas, the replies when someone comments or messages you. Because right now you're probably either not posting at all or posting once every few months when you remember. Neither one works. And comparing yourself to the big plumbing companies with full marketing departments isn't useful — they're playing a different game in a different market. You just need to show up consistently in a town where people talk and where showing up online is the new version of that.

Our social media and ads management starts at $750/mo. That covers content planning, posting, engagement, and tying everything back to actual calls and estimate requests. Not just likes. Not just impressions. The stuff that pays your bills.
