Marketing Help for Construction Companies
You know how to run a job site. You keep the crew moving, finish the work clean, and make sure the client’s happy. But when it comes to marketing your business? It’s easy to put it off.
Let’s be honest. Most marketing advice sounds like it’s written for people in suits, not people in steel toe boots. You don’t need fancy buzzwords or a social media plan with dance videos. You just need solid leads and better jobs without wasting your time.
Here’s how to make that happen without a lot of extra effort or money.
Why Marketing Even Matters
Most construction companies live off word of mouth. That’s great until it dries up or the guy who used to send you referrals moves away.
Marketing makes sure new people can find you online. It shows the kind of work you do and helps them trust you before you ever talk. Done right, it helps you:
Stay busy year round
Pick better jobs that pay right
Look professional when clients check you out
Where to Start With Marketing
You don’t need to do everything at once. Just focus on the basics.
Google Business Profile
Search your own company on Google. If you don’t show up in that map with the top three businesses, you’re missing jobs. Claim your Google profile, add photos, list your services, and ask past clients for reviews.
Website
You need one. Even if it’s just one page with a few photos, services, and a contact form. It makes you look legit and makes it easier for people to hire you.
Job Site Photos
Start taking pictures before and after each project. Doesn’t matter if it’s a basement reno, concrete pad, deck, or a full house. Post them online so people can see what you actually do.
Use Local Keywords
If you’re in Okotoks or Red Deer, say so. Use those town names in your content so you show up when locals search for services near them.
One Social Media Platform
Pick Facebook or Instagram. Post a few updates each week. Could be a job in progress, a finished kitchen, or even a tool tip. Doesn’t need to be fancy. Just show you’re active and working.
