About this listen

Does posting on social actually bring you work—or just grief? In this Toolbox Talk I break down exactly how sparks, plumbers, builders (any local trade) can use TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and Google to win real customers—without dancing or spending all day editing.

🔌 Ready-to-Use Social Media Content Pack for Electricians - https://toolboxtalkforelectricians.kit.com/products/socialmediaEmail Nails x 10. - https://toolboxtalkforelectricians.kit.com/products/email-nails-x-10

What you’ll learn:

  • Lead-gen vs. “free tools” (personal brand) — pick your goal first

  • Bio optimisation (Linktree, contact options, service area)

  • How to geo-target locally (location tags, keywords, groups)

  • Hooks & CTAs that get enquiries (and what to show customers)

  • Hashtags that matter (and where they don’t)

  • Handling haters & bad reviews like a pro

  • Building an email list (easy newsletter ideas that convert)

  • Repurposing one post across TikTok/IG/Facebook/Google

  • When YouTube long-form makes sense for high-value jobs

Quick wins:

  • Show outcomes (before/after sockets, boards, lights), not just tidy cable clips

  • Add your town + “electrician” in profiles and captions for local SEO

  • Ask for a Facebook/Google review on the day (include town name)

  • Post little and often (even 1 short per week beats silence)

If you want more templates/copy ideas, check the links in the description and steal my prompts. 👍
