How To Find Consistent Property Maintenance Jobs?

Hello everyone,

My name is Walter Brown, and I operate a property maintenance and workforce training business in Lake County, Illinois.

Right now, I am building out services around facility maintenance, grounds care, light repair, cleaning support, tool-based training, and hands-on property service work. My long-term goal is to grow the business in a way that creates paid work opportunities while also supporting youth, returning citizens, and people who need a pathway into the skilled trades.

I am currently working on getting more consistent jobs and learning the best ways to market services locally without wasting money on the wrong advertising.

For those of you who started small and grew into steady work, what helped you most in the beginning?

Was it Google Business Profile, referrals, door-to-door outreach, property managers, commercial accounts, Facebook groups, Jobber features, paid ads, or something else?

I would appreciate any real advice from people who have already gone through the early stage.
