What's the Biggest Mistake Contractors Make With Their Social Media?

Inconsistency is genuinely the number one issue we see across the board. A burst of posting for two weeks followed by silence for two months does more damage than not posting at all, because it signals to anyone checking your page that the business might not be active or reliable anymore. Consistency, even at a relatively low volume, builds far more trust over time than sporadic, unpredictable bursts of effort.

The Second Biggest Mistake

The second biggest mistake is treating every single post like an overt sales pitch. Homeowners can immediately tell the difference between content that's aggressively trying to sell them something and content that's genuinely just showing real work and real people doing their jobs well.

What Actually Drives Growth

The accounts that genuinely grow over time are usually the ones that feel honest and unpolished in the right ways, not polished to the point of feeling like a traditional advertisement that people instinctively scroll past.
