// 01 The Problem

Most Contractors Are on LinkedIn. Almost None of Them Are in Front of the Right People.

Most contractors on LinkedIn post a jobsite photo from the company page every few weeks. It gets a dozen likes, mostly from employees and suppliers. Nobody who could hire you saw it.

Some hand it to a marketing agency. The posting gets more consistent and the content gets emptier. Congratulations to the team. Excited to announce. Safety is our top priority. Nobody who has run a job would write it, because nobody who wrote it has.

Meanwhile, the developers, owners, and GCs you want to work with are on there every day. They follow people, not company pages. And when your rep sends them a connection request or follows up on a bid, they look at the profile first.

If there’s nothing there, that’s what they see.

Social Media Marketing for Construction Companies: What About Everything Else?

If you sell to developers, owners, and GCs, LinkedIn is where they are, and it’s most of the answer. We’d rather run one platform well than five badly.

Instagram makes sense if you’re recruiting field talent or your work is visually strong. Facebook matters for residential work and local hiring. If you want those covered, we’ll cover them, and we’ll tell you if we think the money is better spent elsewhere.

What we won’t do is post the same thing to six platforms and call it a social media program.

Common Questions About LinkedIn for Contractors

If you sell to developers, owners, property managers, or GCs, yes. That’s where they are. If you sell to homeowners, your time is better spent elsewhere. Either way, it should be the owner’s personal profile doing the work. Company pages in construction get very little reach.

What you know that your clients don’t. Cost movement in your market, why a schedule slipped, what owners get wrong in precon, what a delivery method actually costs. Project photos are fine as support. Nobody hires a contractor because of a nice photo of a slab pour.

Two or three times a week, every week. That beats a burst of daily posts followed by two quiet months. The people you want have to see your name a few times before it means anything.

Not on its own, and anyone promising that is selling something. What it does is make everything else work better. Your connection request gets accepted, your follow-up gets read, and your name is familiar when a developer puts a bid list together.

The owner’s profile. Keep the company page current for anyone who checks, but personal profiles get far more reach, and a developer would rather hear from the person who runs the business than from a logo.

We do, from short recorded conversations with you. You approve everything. The credibility comes from things only someone running the business would know, which is why we interview instead of making it up.

We run sales for commercial contractors. LinkedIn is part of the pipeline for us, not a content calendar. The people writing your posts know what your reps are hearing on calls all week.

Profile fixes show up right away in how outreach performs. Content takes longer. Three to six months in, people start telling you they’ve been seeing your posts. That’s usually the first real signal.
