The problem

No time to post after a long day

You are out on jobs from early morning. By the evening, the last thing you want is to think up something to say on Facebook. So the photos stay on your phone and your page goes quiet.

You might be nodding at these

  • Great jobs, but the photos stay on your phone
  • You never know what to post
  • You would rather not be on camera
  • Your page looks like you have stopped trading
  • You do not want a long contract

Why it matters

A quiet page can cost you jobs

Most people look a tradesperson up before they ring.

  • They check you first

    Even people a friend recommended will look you up. An empty page makes them wonder if you are still working.

  • A busy rival looks safer

    Someone who posts every week looks like the safer choice. That can lose you a job you would have won.

  • Evenings spent catching up

    Trying to post after a long day costs you time you would rather spend at home.

How it works

Send me the photos and I do the rest

Four simple steps that fit around your working week.

  1. 01

    Send photos and clips

    Take a few pictures of finished jobs on your phone and send them over. A few a week is plenty.

  2. 02

    I plan and write

    I turn them into posts and short videos in your voice, and plan what goes out and when.

  3. 03

    You approve it

    You see everything before it goes live. Nothing is published without your yes.

  4. 04

    Month to month

    No long contract. You can stop with 30 days notice.

What goes out

Posts made from your normal jobs

Nothing fancy. Every one of these comes from work you are already doing.

  • Before and after posts

    The simplest post that works. I only use photos of a customer's home if they've said yes first.

  • Short tips and warning signs

    Quick advice shows you know your stuff without giving the whole job away. A dripping tap or an old fuse box makes a good one.

  • Your team and your van

    People trust a face and a name. A photo of you and the van tells a customer who is turning up. I only mention accreditations you really hold.

  • Customer thanks and reviews

    A happy customer's words are your best advert. I share them simply, without any bragging.

Video

Video without your face

You never have to talk to a camera.

  • AI is always said out loud

    If I use AI to help, I tell you and you approve it first. Never for fake reviews or fake before and afters.

Platforms

Where customers find a trade

Start with the one your customers already use.

Control

Nothing goes live without your yes

You stay in charge of what is said.

  • You see every post first

    If something does not sound like you, tell me and I will change it.

  • Customers' homes need permission

    Before and after photos from a home are only posted with the customer's yes.

Clear packages

Know what you will pay before you ask

Three simple starting points, plus one-off projects. You will always see what is included, what is not and how it all works before you commit.

  • Starter

    from£250/month

    Your profiles set up properly, plus a small monthly content package to keep them active.

  • Growth

    from£750/month

    Regular posts, Reels and short videos, captions, scheduling and a monthly report.

  • Video

    from£1,500/month

    More short-form video and YouTube support every month, for businesses that want video at the centre.

Every package is agreed in writing before work starts. Advertising spend and video production can be separate costs, and I will always say so up front.

What other businesses say about working with me

This review is from a Bournemouth clinic, not a trade. It shows how I work with a client who is busy all day, and the same steps apply to you.

LairdPage runs all the social media for our clinic, and we couldn't be happier. He takes care of everything, so we don't have to stress about posting or keeping up with trends.

How much does it cost for a sole trader?

Packages start from £250 a month. Advertising spend is separate, and I will always say so up front. The pricing page shows what each package includes.

I have no time. How much do I need to do?

A few photos or clips a week, then a quick yes or no on what I send you. That is usually a few minutes.

Will I see everything before it goes live?

Yes. You approve everything, and nothing is published without your yes.

Do I have to sign up for a long contract?

No. Monthly packages run month to month, with 30 days notice to stop.

Will it bring me work?

I can't promise that, and nobody honest can. What it does is keep you visible and credible when people check you out, so you look like the busy, trusted option.

Will it work for a plumber, electrician or builder like me?

Yes. Each trade has its own kind of post. A plumber might share a tidy boiler install. A builder might show a loft conversion going up, and a decorator a room before and after.

Do I need to be on camera?

No. Faceless video works well for trades, because the work is the interesting part. I use your clips, your photos and captions.

Can you post before and after photos from customers' homes?

Only with the customer's permission. Ask them when you take the photos, and I will only use the ones they have agreed to.
