Facebook Community Groups? Who's the expert??
Hey guys, In my area I see a few businesses that are being really intentional about posting in these groups. Even if they aren't getting hired I'm sure they are getting a lot of local attention. Yo...

This is what I built my business on from day 1. Facebook paid advertising has made this harder specifically over the last 2-3 years. They have picked up on this and they find ways to divert you from doing free ads.
Through trial and error I've learned you can share up to 20 posts per day without being flagged for spam. I join every group related to whatever service area that I am in. Regardless of if it is a community group or a sports group, parents network at school etc. It doesn't matter specifically for service professionals. The more groups you hit on a regular basis the better luck you will have.
I would join a MASS amount of groups. All of them also have their own rules so not all your posts will get approved. Do this daily at different times of day and you'll be able to pick up on what works best for you.
I also include my page tag, business number and website with a cool graphic/advertisement so if they click it, they'll get more information and redirected to my direct websites/links. I also make it easy for them to schedule or request a quote by linking my jobber request form at the top of my facebook page and my website for easy access. I have seen a huge boost in inquiries with this tool and it is FREE. It also builds brand recognition - even if they don't book now psychologically they are seeing you, your brand name and logo again and again and again. Eventually if you or someone they know needs the service you provide you will be a top contender for who they remember most!
Ok so questions:
Thanks for taking the time to answer by the way
- 20 posts a day is that 20 different groups?
- Is this all manual? We have to figure out a way to automate this haha
Thank you.
Not for nothing but for a different perspective, you would be the exact business I would avoid like the plague. I find it intrusive when companies post that much in every possible location.
I will add that I absolutely hate social media and the burden it puts on small sole prop people who just want to run a small business and thrive in their community.
I'm glad it's working out for you. I hope this didn't come across as disrespectful.
