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.

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)
