How to get more customers for a new junk removal business?

Hello! I just started a junk removal business last week and have had 3 jobs 2 of which are pending waiting for customers response.

How do I get more traffic to my Facebook page? I’ve had 2,300 views but only 70+ engagements. And I would like to know how other junk removal services are operating their business to maximize closure rates, as well as their talk tracks when talking to a customer.

i would also like to give a discount to veterans/seniors. How would you guys go about that for junk removal?

  • Family and friends for your first couple clients. Make sure they leave a review on Google and Facebook. That gets the ball rolling. Don't just start throwing money at Google and Meta. You'll waste a lot of starting capital that way.

  • Congrats on starting your business! We are 6 years in and still learning every day. For more jobs generally: I would suggest focusing on getting experience, reviews, and before/after photos - so you build credibility in your community. We started with jobs for friends, family, neighbors, and often at a discount just to get the reps. Ask everyone you serve for a google review, this is critical for improving your search ranking. We aren't great with FB, but I try to engage with relevant groups (real estate investors, construction, local neighborhood groups, etc) and make a real connection there. Good luck!

    There's a really good guy to follow named Steve Hansaker (or something like that). He's an expert on facebook marketing. I'd follow him and implement some of his strategies. In short, facebook is a content play. Not one video is going to make you a million bucks but being consistent will.
