One thing you could do would be to join Facebook groups which are local to you and which are relevant for your business. You do have to take care though as you'll often be prohibited from overtly promoting your business through these groups. It's better if you know people in the groups and they can recommend you to others. It should all be done naturally and organically though.

Knowing your locals , and communicating with them is a must. U have all kinds of SEO and PPC, that u can use to get more people calling or viewing your site. If u don’t have your own site u have to get one , reach out to others like u and spread awareness. Thats important for your business and customers. Your customers have to know more about u , build your Communication online. Hope this helps.

ou can quickly turn your business into a Recongnized business. But it requires money and as well as your attention toward a particular social media lets say Instagram. Instagram is best and secure playform to turn your brand and business into recongnized one. Search for good follower holding influencers and start paying them for promotion. This might seems unreal but it will actually accelerate your business and recongnition. Apart from this you can also go for google ads on popular videos. Try to maximise your reach. Instagram has a large number of active audience.
Hope this might prove to be benificial for you.

Social media marketing (SMM) is a powerful way to increase brand awareness, build a loyal following base, attract new customers, and increase sales through social media.
When defining social media marketing goals, ask yourself:
What do you want to achieve with SMM?
What are your goals?
Who is your target audience?
Where does your target audience "live" and how will it behave in social networks?
What message do you want to convey to your audience using SMM?
Use the right strategy. Learn good success stories, read this article about Instagram algorithms to better understand how to act in social networks

Hi Sharon,
There are already some good answers for you, but I wanted to go a bit deeper and detailed for you.
As far as posting. Post pictures of work you've done (that may be obvious) but explain WHERE you did the work and some details that make you stand out from your competitors. Being a woman based business is one of them.
Also, post pictures of yourself working and your team. Making yourself personal, creates trust quicker.
Use hashtags on Instagram. You are allowed 30. Research them! For example, #homeimprovementNJ #maintenance4women (I just made those up to give you an idea). In Instagram, you can enter an idea in the search and see what comes up. Use hashtags for your area (city and state), and however far you travel.
Follow accounts that are in your area.
In your bio, ALWAYS put your location and contact info.
Also, you can run campaigns, with coupons or "10% off work in October".
The last thing is posting videos. Use your phone, a quick 20-second video of how you fix something or a before and after is always good. You love what you do and proud of your work. Let it show!!!
Make sure you are listed in Yelp and Google My Business.
Good luck with your business!

The number one rule on social media: Never look for quick fixes.
Instead, focus on building a long-term relationship with your audience, readers, followers, leads, influencers or customers. Invest time in real-time interactions and whichever platform you chose, pay attention to the audience and their behavioral patterns.
In terms of home improvement and/or maintenance, the platform that stands out is PINTEREST. Pinterest is gaining a lot of momentum lately and it has added a lot of new marketing features too to facilitate business. You can share before and after home improvement pictures, target women (a majority of the population on Pinterest) and benefit from Pinterest’s built-in ads (pixel integration), etc.
I believe Pinterest could be a great start. But if you have resources, you can venture into blogging as well. Work with relevant blogs to market and expand your reach. Introduce your business and grow organic reach over time. It will also help you improve your website’s authority in search rankings.
Hope this helps!

As per my experience, you have to start with making business pages on different social media websites. After joining and creating pages you have to start joining the biggest groups that are related to your business. Write content and share on social media groups and website to grab more attention for your business.
If you want to go for paid media promotion then you have to buy a few promotion packages provided by social media websites.
Share your business information with groups or you can create own groups on different social media websites.

Creating a brand awareness ad on Facebook will help drive higher numbers of impressions and increase brand awareness for immediate results. Our team recommends having a Facebook likes campaign so you're immediately growing your audience. The key though is to hone-in on the right target audience so your engagement will coincide with your follower increase. You want to make sure you're not just growing your following, but growing your following of the RIGHT audience that will care about what your business is offering. We suggest using location filters and targeting by zip codes you service. Facebook ads can also connect with Instagram so you can reach the right future customer on both.

Hi, I can recommend Twitter, it's one of the best social networks!
The moment Twitter was launched, businessmen and women saw a golden opportunity to market their products or services. For some, social media marketing via this venue has been highly successful. For others, little, if any, sales increases have been realized. So what are each of these groups doing differently? It just may be their strategy and approach.
There is a fine line between how many tweets are just the right amount, how many are too few, and how many are too much. If you update infrequently, you may not be noticed. Too often, and you may be considered a spammer and lose followers at a rapid rate. The best course of action when using Twitter for marketing is to settle on somewhere in the middle. This topic is discussed in depth in the Twitter Marketing Beginner's Guide.
What your tweets say is also extremely important. More than anything else, your followers will want to read something of value. Helpful articles and information are a great option, as are coupon codes and links to products that are on sale. When you mix helpful information in with your standard sales driven tweets, you will achieve a higher level of success.
Posting the best tweets will only take you so far if you do not take the time to interact with your followers. People want to know that they are heard, and should you choose to not respond to their questions or comments, chances are the "unfollow" button will be used. Interacting does not be time-consuming. Just a few minutes each day spend responding to questions and comments should suffice. These, as well as other Twitter tactics are discussed on the TopRank blog article: 5 Steps To Build A Twitter Marketing Strategy.
If you are in need of more followers, do take the time to place a link to your Twitter account on your website. You should also include a small blurb about why people should follow you. For example, if you will be offering special discounts to your Twitter followers, tell them so. Placing a link alone will not do much unless you receive massive amounts of traffic. Obviously, if you are already receiving massive amounts of traffic, Twitter may only be an afterthought for you.
Indeed, both a right and wrong way to use Twitter for marketing purposes exist. Getting the most out of this social media giant will only require that you follow just a few basic guidelines mentioned here, and are consistent with your approach. Though there will likely be new trends and marketing methods used for Twitter in the future, these basic common sense approaches will not change.
Good luck in promoting your site!
