We Don't Work With Everyone.
We Work With You.
Every industry below has its own content strategy, its own seasonal rhythms, and its own reason homeowners and buyers choose one company over another. We've built frameworks for all of them — not adapted them from somewhere else.
HVAC Companies
Your next customer is a homeowner who won't think about HVAC until something breaks — or until they see a post from you first. Social media is the only channel that builds trust before the emergency call. An HVAC company that shows up consistently on Instagram and Facebook in Middlesex County, Morris County, or Bergen County will be the first name those homeowners remember when their furnace quits at 2 AM in January.
Most HVAC companies in NJ either have no social presence or post stock photos of air conditioners three times a week. That's your competitive gap. A consistent, educational presence in your market — even at modest volume — compounds faster than any other marketing channel because your competitors aren't doing it right.
Best Platforms- Short-Form Video (Reels / TikTok) "Why is my furnace short-cycling?" — a tech explains in 60 seconds on a real job site. Stops the scroll. Gets saved. Drives calls.
- Seasonal Campaign "Is your AC ready for a NJ summer?" pre-season maintenance checklist posts in April — timed to when homeowners are thinking about it.
- Trust Builder Before-and-after unit replacements with the homeowner's neighborhood tagged. Social proof + local SEO in one post.
- Educational Carousel "5 signs your HVAC system needs replacing" — shareable, saves, and brings the right homeowners to your profile when they're ready to book.
Plumbing Companies
Plumbing is emergency-driven — but the companies that win on social aren't the ones who advertise emergencies. They're the ones who show up before the pipe bursts. Educational content about common NJ plumbing problems (frozen pipes in January, sump pump failures in spring, aging galvanized pipes in older North Jersey homes) builds the recognition that makes you the first call when something goes wrong.
The content strategy writes itself: myth-busting, DIY-or-call-a-pro breakdowns, job site walkthroughs, and seasonal maintenance reminders targeted to homeowners in your service radius. Your technicians are the content. A 45-second video of a plumber explaining how to shut off a water main gets more engagement than any paid ad.
Best Platforms- Emergency Preparedness Video "How to shut off your main water valve" — saved thousands of times, positions you as the expert before the emergency happens.
- Before & After Old galvanized pipes vs. new copper or PEX — homeowners in NJ's older housing stock see their own home and pick up the phone.
- Myth-Busting Post "No, you shouldn't pour grease down the drain" — simple, shareable, establishes expertise without a hard sell.
- Seasonal Alert "NJ cold snap coming — here's how to prevent a frozen pipe" timed to weather forecasts. Drives calls and shares simultaneously.
Electrical Contractors
Residential electricians win on social through trust-building content that turns homeowners into fans before they need service. Commercial electricians win on LinkedIn — where property managers, general contractors, and facility directors are actively evaluating who to add to their bid lists. The strategy is different for each, but both work and both are underutilized by competitors in the NJ market.
For residential: safety content, panel upgrade education, EV charger installation walkthroughs, and whole-home generator posts tied to NJ storm season. For commercial: completed project showcases, safety certification content, and team expertise posts that build credibility over a long buying cycle. This is Dave's market — and most of his Bergen County and Newark-area competitors aren't showing up on LinkedIn at all.
Best Platforms- Safety Education (Residential) "Signs your electrical panel needs upgrading" — one of the highest-performing content types for NJ electricians because the audience is huge and the urgency is real.
- Project Showcase (Commercial) Completed commercial buildout walkthrough on LinkedIn — gets seen by the exact GCs and property managers who will call you for the next bid.
- Trending Topic "Should you install a home EV charger?" — high search volume, highly shareable, drives residential estimates.
- Storm Season "Generator installation before the next NJ nor'easter" — perfectly timed to weather patterns that drive massive demand spikes.
Roofing Companies
Roofing is one of the highest-performing categories on social media right now — because the visual content is impossible to fake and impossible to ignore. Before-and-after roof replacements stop the scroll on every platform. A homeowner who just had hail damage and is getting three estimates in 48 hours will find your Instagram, and what they see in the first 30 seconds will decide whether they call you or close the app.
Storm events in NJ and PA are the single biggest driver of roofing demand — and a company with an active social presence gets the calls faster than one that relies on door-knocking and Angi. The content strategy for roofers is highly seasonal: storm damage education in fall, maintenance reminders in spring, ice dam prevention in winter. The opportunity window is obvious. Most NJ roofing companies aren't taking it.
Best Platforms- Before & After (Highest Performer) Full replacement reveal — old damaged shingles to completed roof — with the neighborhood or county tagged. Drives DMs from neighbors every time.
- Storm Response Video "If your roof took hail damage in last night's storm, here's what to look for before you call anyone" — posted within 24 hours of a weather event.
- Educational Post "How to know if you need a repair or a full replacement" — answers the question every homeowner is Googling before they call.
- Insurance Walk-Through "How the insurance claim process works for storm-damaged roofs" — enormous search volume, positions you as the trusted expert.
Pest Control Companies
Pest control is deeply seasonal and hyperlocal — and that's exactly what social media is built for. The content practically creates itself. Seasonal pest calendars, inspection walkthroughs, myth-busting (no, ultrasonic devices don't work), and before-and-after termite treatments are some of the most-shared content in the home services space because the audience is huge and the information is genuinely useful.
Rachel, the Bucks County pest control operator, is your archetype. She's been posting herself on Nextdoor when she has time, and it's working — but she needs someone who understands that pest control content has to be educational, slightly gross in the right way, and reassuring all at once. That's not something a generalist agency will get right on the first try. We've built frameworks for it.
Best Platforms- Seasonal Calendar Post "Carpenter ants are showing up in NJ — here's what to do before it becomes an infestation" — posted in late March every year. Drives pre-season bookings.
- Inspection Walkthrough Video 60-second technician walkthrough of a termite inspection — what to look for, what it means, what homeowners should know. High saves and shares.
- Myth-Busting "Do those plug-in ultrasonic pest repellers actually work?" — honest answer, high engagement, massive trust builder.
- Rodent Season Alert "Mice start moving indoors in October in NJ — here's how to seal entry points before they do." Timed to local weather patterns. Evergreen content.
Landscaping & Lawn Care
Landscaping may be the most visually powerful category in all of home services. Transformation content — overgrown yard to manicured outdoor space — is some of the most viral content on Instagram and TikTok, and landscaping companies in NJ who are using it consistently are booking out months in advance. The content isn't hard to create. The strategy is.
The NJ and tristate market has a strong seasonal rhythm — spring cleanups, summer maintenance contracts, fall leaf removal, and snow plowing as a cross-sell. A social media calendar built around those cycles means you're in front of the right homeowners at exactly the right time, rather than running a door-hanger campaign in February.
Best Platforms- Transformation Reel (Top Performer) Time-lapse or side-by-side of a spring cleanup — overgrown to spotless. Every neighbor of that homeowner sees it. Patio installs and hardscape work are even more powerful.
- Seasonal Trigger Post "NJ spring cleanup spots are filling up — here's what we're booking in your area" — creates urgency and drives calls in February/March.
- Educational Content "Best grass seed for NJ's climate and shade conditions" — local specificity + helpful information = trust and shareability.
- Behind the Crew Short team feature video — who shows up to your property, what they use, what they're proud of. Humanizes the brand and drives referrals.
B2B & Professional Services Below
The industries below are relationship-driven with longer buying cycles. The social strategy is different — LinkedIn-first, content that builds credibility over months, not days. If you're in this category and doing $2M+, our consulting engagement may be the right fit before a full management retainer.
Commercial Cleaning
Commercial cleaning is a high-trust, high-retention B2B category — and the companies that win new contracts do so because facility managers and property owners already know their name. LinkedIn is where those decision-makers are, and a consistent presence showcasing your team's professionalism, certifications, and completed projects builds the credibility that gets you on bid shortlists.
Instagram and Facebook serve the residential and small-business side — office cleaning, medical office cleaning, post-construction cleanup — where visual before-and-after content drives referrals and word-of-mouth in local business communities. In the NJ/NYC metro market, the density of commercial properties means the opportunity is enormous for companies willing to build a systematic social presence.
Best Platforms- Before & After (Post-Construction) Post-construction cleanup reveal — dusty construction site to spotless finished space. Shared by GCs, tagged by property owners. Direct pipeline.
- Certification / Credibility Post "Our team just completed [certification]" — positions you above competitors in procurement processes and builds trust with facilities managers on LinkedIn.
- Team Feature Behind-the-scenes of your crew at work — spotlighting specific team members builds trust and differentiates you from anonymous "cleaning service" competitors.
- Client Win (LinkedIn) "Proud to partner with [anonymous company type] for their new Newark office buildout" — professional, credible, seen by every connection of every employee who engages.
Accounting & Tax Firms
Every small business owner in NJ is searching for accounting help — and the firms they hire are almost always ones they've heard of before they needed them. Social media is how you build that name recognition before tax season, before the IRS letter, before the audit. A CPA or bookkeeping firm that posts consistently about the topics small business owners lose sleep over becomes the obvious first call when those things happen.
LinkedIn is your primary platform for reaching business owners and referral partners. Facebook and Instagram reach individual clients looking for personal tax help. The content calendar is practically automatic: tax deadline reminders, new business structure explainers, deduction breakdowns, and myth-busting are all high-engagement categories with very little competition from other NJ accounting firms doing it well.
Best Platforms- Deadline Reminder "NJ small business quarterly estimated tax deadlines for 2026" — saved and shared every quarter. Positions your firm as the organized, detail-oriented choice.
- Myth-Busting "You CAN deduct your home office — but not the way most people think" — stops the scroll and drives DMs from business owners who want clarification.
- New Business Education "LLC vs. S-Corp: which is right for your NJ small business?" — one of the most-searched questions from new business owners. Huge reach, strong lead intent.
- Client Win "Helped a NJ trades company restructure and save $XX,000 in taxes last year" — real outcomes with anonymized details build credibility fast.
Insurance Agencies
Independent insurance agents lose business to comparison sites every day — not because they're worse, but because they're invisible until someone already knows to look for them. Social media makes you visible before the renewal, before the life event, before the business expansion that triggers an insurance need. The agent who's been showing up consistently on Facebook and LinkedIn in their community is the one the referral goes to.
The content strategy for insurance is built around education and life event triggers: home purchase, new business, new baby, significant asset acquisition. Content that answers the questions people are Googling before they call an agent creates warm inbound leads instead of cold calls. In the NJ market — where homeowners insurance, flood coverage, and business liability are all high-need categories — there's a massive audience for this content and almost no independent agents doing it consistently.
Best Platforms- Life Event Trigger "Just bought a home in NJ? Here's what your homeowner's policy should actually cover (and what most don't)" — captures buyers right at the moment of need.
- NJ-Specific Alert "Flood insurance in NJ: what FEMA maps don't tell you" — high search intent, hyperlocal, positions you as the expert your neighbors should call.
- Business Owner Education "Does your NJ contractor's insurance cover subcontractors?" — reaches a specific audience (trades owners) with a question they need answered.
- Myth-Busting "Your homeowner's policy probably doesn't cover this" — one of the highest-shared content types in personal lines because everyone thinks they're covered.
Law Firms & Legal Services
Law is one of the most trust-dependent purchases a person or business ever makes — and trust is built through consistent visibility, not one-time advertising. The attorney or firm that shows up in someone's Facebook feed explaining estate planning, or on LinkedIn discussing NJ business liability, is the one that gets the call when the moment arrives. Social media is the trust-building engine that replaces — or amplifies — the referral network.
For personal injury, family law, and estate planning: Facebook and Instagram reach individuals during life events. For business law, employment law, and commercial litigation: LinkedIn reaches the decision-makers directly. NJ has one of the most litigious business environments in the country and one of the highest concentrations of small businesses needing legal counsel. The audience is there. The competition among firms using social media effectively is almost nonexistent.
Best Platforms- Plain-Language Legal Education "What actually happens in a NJ estate without a will" — highly searched, easily understood, drives consultations from people who know they've been putting this off.
- Business Owner Education (LinkedIn) "5 contract clauses NJ small business owners should never sign without reading" — shared by business owners to their networks. Builds referral pipeline fast.
- Life Event Trigger "Just launched a business in NJ? Here's what legal structure actually means for your personal liability" — reaches the exact person, at exactly the right moment.
- FAQ-Style Video Attorney answers the most common question in their practice area in 60 seconds. Human, approachable, and directly addresses the trust barrier in legal services.
