Most bookings come from Google searches, word of mouth and social posts. Clear words in each of those places turn a quick look into a message.
Say what you do, where you work and who you help on the first screen. Add a starting price, real reviews and one easy way to book.
Start small, around $5 to $10 a day, and test one ad for a week or two. Grow the budget only when the ad brings messages.
Show your work, answer one client question each week and share a short story from a recent job. End with a reply or a save.
Ask right after a happy moment, send a direct link and keep it to one simple question. A short thank-you email works well.
Yes. A short note a few times a year keeps you in mind for repeat work and referrals. Only email people who said yes.
One helpful post a month is plenty for most owners. Answer a question your clients ask and link it to your services page.
