Why You Need to Be Active on Social Media (Even If You Think It Doesn’t Matter)
Here’s what actually happens:
A homeowner searches “tree trimming near me.” They see your Google Business Profile. Then they go check your website. Then they click over to Facebook or Instagram.
If there’s nothing there—or it looks outdated—they keep looking. You don’t even know you lost the lead.
Social media acts like your “second homepage.” It’s the proof of life. It shows:
- You’re working right now
- You work in their area
- You have equipment
- You have employees
- You’ve done this before
That visual evidence matters more than most people think. Especially when the job is dangerous or expensive, like tree removal.
What Kind of Content Works for Tree Service?
This isn’t a content game. It’s not like you’re trying to become a thought leader. But there are things that work consistently:
1. Jobsite Photos
Before and afters, big tree removals, crane shots, chipped piles, stump grinding results—these are gold. Show the work. Show the cleanup. Show the crew.
2. Educational Tips
Short blurbs about why you don’t top trees, when to prune, how to spot disease. Quick info, helpful tone. Shows you know your stuff.
3. Testimonials
Turn a Google review into a branded image. “Thanks for the great work on our cottonwood removal!” – Jane D. from Ogden. These build trust and take up space with value.
4. Seasonal Reminders
Post about fall pruning, winter prep, spring growth, summer trimming. Remind people that now is a good time to call. Guide their thinking.
5. Equipment & Crew Photos
Show the bucket truck. The chipper. The safety gear. The ropes. It makes you look professional and real. People like seeing the tools behind the service.
When to Post
Minimum once per week. That’s the floor. Every 7–10 days is enough to stay active and show people you’re working. Anything less and your page starts to look abandoned.
If you have a big job, multiple phases, or media from your crew, you can post more often. Two to three times a week is solid if you have content.
But if you’re busy and don’t want to deal with any of that—this service does it for you.
Common Mistakes Tree Companies Make on Social Media
Here’s what not to do. This is what ruins the perception and costs you leads:
- Posting once in 2021 and never again
- Sharing personal political rants or family photos
- Using low-quality blurry images
- Making every post a “Call us now!” sales push
- Posting only memes or joke content
- Arguing with customers in the comments
- Letting your teenager “run the Facebook page” with no plan
It’s better to post nothing than to look unprofessional. But it’s even better to post the right stuff, consistently.
You’ll get even more traction when your posts align with your web site content. Willy-nilly posts about nothing don’t do much for your site. Strategic, well-connected between all platforms is what works!
What Happens If You Ignore Social Media
You might not feel it right away. But here’s what starts to happen:
- Customers Google your name and don’t see anything new
- You lose bids to competitors who look more “established” online
- Your reputation stalls because no one sees your good work
- You forget to ask for reviews or share them
- You become invisible to people who check multiple sources before hiring
And even though social media won’t directly bring in hundreds of leads, it does support your entire sales process. It strengthens your Google presence, builds trust, and gives people confidence to call.
Ignore it, and it becomes a weakness in your marketing. Something that makes people hesitate. Especially when the job is big.
How Tree Service Marketing Solutions Makes It Simple
You don’t have time to plan content calendars. You don’t have someone on staff who understands branding and tree removal. You’re not going to be designing quote graphics on your phone between jobs.
Our tree service social media tactics take it off your plate.
We know what it takes to rank tree service businesses. We’ve done it for other tree companies. We have access to images, templates, and topics that work. We stay on schedule. We know what Facebook wants, what hashtags matter locally, and how to avoid spammy posting.
You just approve it, and don’t even worry about it. We’ll handle it from start to finish.
What You Should Do If You Want to Start
Start with Facebook and Instagram. Those are the big ones for local service businesses. Don’t bother with TikTok or Twitter unless you’ve got a team of marketers. Focus on consistency, relevance, and quality.
Even one post a week makes a difference. But do it every week. Show the work. Share some knowledge. Build trust.
Or pay someone who knows what they’re doing and have it handled.
Either way, not doing anything at all is a bad plan.
