What changes

What social media marketing Auckland should actually do

Social media is the one thing businesses pay for without ever agreeing what it's for. So here are the three jobs we think it's genuinely good at, and we'll show you the numbers for each.

  • Demand

    Reaching people who aren't looking yet

    Search finds people who already want something. Social reaches the ones who don't know they need you yet — the kitchen they've been putting up with, the roof they haven't looked at. That's a different job, and it's the one social does best.

  • Trust

    Proof you can't fake

    People check your page before they ring, and an empty one costs you the call. Photos of jobs you actually did in streets they actually know are worth more than any amount of designed graphics.

  • Reach

    The right part of Auckland

    Social ads let you draw a line around the areas you serve, right down to a few suburbs. So a firm working the North Shore never pays to be seen in Papakura.

Social media marketing Auckland wide starts with a plain fact: the firms you compete with are already posting. Someone comparing two builders usually rings the one whose page shows work finished this month, in a suburb they recognise, with a phone number that's easy to find.

The thing Auckland changes about social is targeting. In a small town you can post to everyone and most of them could plausibly use you. Here, most of the people who see an untargeted post are forty minutes and a motorway away from being customers. So the audience settings matter as much as the posts.

It also means saying where you work, out loud and often. A tiler who only does the central suburbs and a builder who covers everything from Warkworth to Pukekohe should not be running the same social. Being clear about your patch turns away the wrong enquiries, which is a feature rather than a loss.

What's in the job

What social media marketing Auckland covers each month

Fifteen pieces, three lists. Your plan marks which ones you need now, which can wait, and which you shouldn't pay for at all.

The posts themselves

  • A monthly plan you approve before anything goes out
  • Photos and short clips of jobs you actually did
  • Captions written the way you'd say it out loud
  • Posting on a rhythm instead of in bursts
  • The platforms your customers use, not all of them

Social media marketing Auckland wide

  • Paid posts aimed only at the suburbs you serve
  • Budgets set so you never overspend by accident
  • The same offer tested more than one way
  • Retargeting the people who already visited your site
  • Spend moved monthly to whatever brings enquiries

Turning it into work

  • Messages and comments answered, not left sitting
  • A clear next step in every post that needs one
  • Enquiries from social traced back to the post that caused them
  • Your profile filled in properly, including the boring fields
  • A monthly report written in plain English

Getting started

How your first three months of social media marketing Auckland run

Four steps, and you'll always know which one the work is up to.

  1. Week 1

    Your social media marketing Auckland plan

    Fill in the form, then we look at your pages, your competitors' pages and what your customers actually respond to, and write a one-page plan. It lands within one working day, and it's free whatever you decide.

  2. Month 1

    Get the basics right first

    Profiles completed, the right contact details, and a simple way for you to get us photos from the van without it becoming a chore. Then posting starts on a schedule you've seen and agreed.

  3. Month 2

    Add the paid side

    Once there's something worth showing people, a small budget goes behind the posts that earned it, aimed only at your suburbs. From here every report shows enquiries next to what they cost.

  4. Month 3

    Then it's your call

    Three months to start, then month by month — you stay because it's working, not because a contract says so. You keep one contact throughout, with no account manager in between.

The reviews

Where these reviews actually come from

You wouldn't hire a builder without asking whose work is in the photos. Same standard here: the reviews below were earned by the wider business rather than by the New Zealand company. And we'd rather say that than let you guess.

Straight answers

Social media marketing Auckland questions we get asked

Eight things Auckland owners ask before handing over their social, answered without the sales voice.

  • Both are possible and only one is worth paying for. Untargeted posting builds an audience that may never buy. Posts aimed at the suburbs you serve, showing work you actually did, with a clear way to get in touch, do bring enquiries — and we count them so you're not taking our word for it.

  • Usually fewer than you're told. For most Auckland trades and local services that's Facebook and Instagram, because that's where their customers are and where the local targeting works. If your customers are other businesses, LinkedIn earns its place. Being on five platforms badly beats none of them.

  • It depends on how often you want to post, whether you want paid ads behind it, and how many parts of the city you're chasing. Posting only is a very different job to posting plus a managed ad budget. You'll get a real figure on the first call.

  • It's often the opposite, because trades have the one thing most businesses lack: visible before-and-after work. A photo of a re-roof in Te Atatū does more than any designed post. The real barrier is remembering to take the photos, so we make that as easy as sending a message.

  • You do, on your phone, on the job — and that's better than us sending someone, because it looks real. We'll tell you what makes a usable shot, and there's a simple way to send them through. Then we handle everything after that.

  • We write them, you see the month ahead before anything goes out, and you can change anything you don't like. Nothing gets posted in your name that you haven't had the chance to read first.

  • You do. If the accounts already exist we get added to them rather than building new ones, and if they were set up by someone who's since disappeared, getting them back into your name is usually the first job. Everything stays yours the day after you leave.

  • You'll see it when we see it, because the report counts enquiries against spend every month and hides nothing. First the budget and the posting move to whatever is working. Then, if the plan itself is wrong, we rewrite the plan.
