Businesses on Facebook, Instagram or a booking page

Why they are leads

Social pages are free and easy, so many owner-run businesses start there and stop. Customers searching on Google for the trade and the town find websites first. A page can also be hard to read without an account, and posts push prices and the area covered out of sight.

How to find them

Search the trade and the town on Facebook and Instagram. Pages whose Website field is empty, or points back to the same page, are leads. On a map listing, a website button that opens a Facebook page or a Linktree is the same thing.

What to say

Show what their customers can't do on the page: see the area covered, read prices, look at the work in one place, or ask for a quote. A draft built from their own photos and reviews says more than any message about websites in general.

Many sole traders already run quotes, jobs and invoices from their phone, in apps such as Knockround. A site that sends customers to the way they already book and get paid fits how they work.

Messages count as email in the UK

Under PECR a direct message on Instagram or Facebook counts as electronic mail, so the same consent rules apply as for email. The UK rules.
