Social Media Marketing for Contractors in Glen Ellyn, IL
Glen Ellyn Homeowners Are
Watching Before
They Call
Social media for Glen Ellyn contractors is part of our full marketing solution, not a service we sell on its own. We set up and post to your profiles on the major platforms so that when a homeowner looks you up before calling, which owners of homes valued around $545,000 do, they find a working company.
They check your Facebook
before they call you
A homeowner with your estimate in hand opens your social profiles to see what you have built lately. A page that has not posted since last fall raises a question you never get to answer.
The last post is stale
An inactive page suggests an inactive company. Homeowners in a town where about 78 percent of residents own their homes talk to each other, and a dormant profile gets mentioned. Steady posting, even a few times a month, keeps the company looking like one that is working.
We keep the profiles current →No before and after
The most convincing post a contractor can make is a before and after of a real job. A rotted deck turned into a new one, a cracked patio replaced with pavers. Most contractors have the photos on their phone and never post them, and the proof stays in their pocket.
We turn your photos into posts →Profiles half set up
A Facebook page with no services listed, an Instagram with no bio link, a LinkedIn that still shows a prior employer. Incomplete profiles make the company look incomplete. Setup is a one-time job that most owners never get around to, and it is the first thing we fix.
We set up every platform →Posting takes time you lack
You are on a job site, not at a desk. Writing captions, resizing photos and posting across three platforms every week is work that does not get done. We take the posting off your plate. You handle the comments and messages, since those need your voice.
We post, you reply →Posting comes with the program,
not a la carte
The full marketing solution at $2,500 a month includes profile setup and regular posting across the major platforms using your project photos. You handle comments and messages. We do not sell social media as a standalone service.

What homeowners want to see
from a Glen Ellyn contractor
About 28,000 people live here and most of the homes date to around 1971. Owners here are remodeling and replacing: kitchens on their second round, decks past their life, patios that have settled. Those are visual projects, and they make strong posts. A before and after of a deck rebuilt on a house from that era speaks directly to the neighbor with the same deck and the same problem.
With the median home valued around $545,000 and household incomes around $141,000, the homeowner looking you up expects the social profiles to match the quality of the work. That means sharp project photos, a short caption that says what was done, and a consistent look across platforms. It does not mean memes or daily posting. A clean, steady feed of real work is what earns trust at this price point.
Social posting is one piece of the full solution we run from our Des Plaines office, about 14.5 miles away. It supports the website, the Google Business Profile and the review system by giving homeowners one more place to confirm you are the company they should call.

Social Media in Glen Ellyn:
Common Questions
Can I buy social media management on its own for my Glen Ellyn company?
No. Social posting is included in the full marketing solution at $2,500 a month and is not sold separately. On its own, social rarely produces contractor leads. Inside the program it supports the channels that do, by giving homeowners proof when they look you up before calling.
Which platforms do you post to?
The major platforms, with Facebook and Instagram carrying most of the weight for residential contractors, since that is where homeowners look. We set up the profiles, keep them consistent with your website and Google Business Profile, and post your project photos on a regular schedule. You respond to comments and messages.
Do I have to supply the photos for Glen Ellyn jobs?
Yes, and it is simpler than it sounds. We give you a short checklist for the shots to take on each job: before, during and finished, from a homeowner’s eye level, in daylight. You send them from your phone. We handle the editing, captions and posting from there.
