Questions
Common questions
Which channels work best for construction & trades?
Google Business Profile and local search for domestic work, Instagram for portfolio, LinkedIn and direct relationships for commercial contracts, and trade directories which still convert.
What content actually converts in this sector?
Project documentation from start to finish, team and craft content, clear scope and process explanation, and honest treatment of timelines — the industry’s reputational weak point.
What are the regulatory risks?
Certification and insurance claims must be accurate and current. Before-and-after imagery needs client permission. Quoted timelines that campaigns promise and operations cannot meet generate the reviews that undo everything.
What should we be measuring?
Qualified quote requests and quote-to-win rate, segmented by domestic and commercial.
Where would you start with a construction & trades client?
I start with project documentation discipline — getting the team photographing work properly, consistently, with client permission. The portfolio does the persuading in this sector and most firms have no usable one.
