#3 Join Lawn Care Groups

"Lawn care companies should join groups about lawn care and become a regular contributor. One of the best things you can do for your business is to form a community of people that trust and support you. For example, a lawn care company could join Lawn Care Fanatics and regularly post their best tips about keeping a lawn looking fresh. The key is to post regularly, such as once a week, and provide genuine value. Many small businesses use the Facebook contributor tactic to grow their brand and business." -Grant Aldrich, Founder of OnlineDegree.com

It's true, there are 100,000's of homeowners in lawn care groups that want to know how to make their lawn look its best. 

And you can really show off your expertise by participating regularly.

• or show off how to get some great stripes.

#5 Ask For Reviews

“Asking for reviews from your past customers is also a great idea to promote your business on Facebook because reviews are actually being read by people before they hire you. People vouching for you means that your company is legitimate and most of all, worthy of praise.” -Andrew Raso, CEO & Co-Founder OnlineMarketingGurus

Reviews, reviews, reviews!

Think about it, when you buy a product on Amazon, what do you do first?

You read the reviews! Your customers do the same thing when they consider your services. 

Asking some of your best customers to leave you a 5-star review on your Facebook page can have a huge impact on who your potential clients choose to mow their lawn.

#6 Use Videos!

“The best way for a lawn care company to promote themselves on Facebook is to record a video with a clear offer and pricing. Then promote that video as an ad to their target audience in a certain area of town or city.” -Brian Robben, CEO of Robben Media

Creating videos for Youtube or TiktTok to market your lawn care company? 

Share them on Facebook!

No doubt about it, videos are a great way to get your expertise out there and share it with others.

By creating videos, and targeting your audience properly, you can build highly valuable, unique content for your Facebook page. 

That will be sure to grow your audience and your client base.

#7 Use Facebook Live

"For landscapers looking to make the most out of Facebook, turn to Live videos to share helpful tips and tricks with local homeowners. The more relevant to the current season the better. Try to aim for videos at least three minutes long to ensure the greatest potential for reach and keep each of your videos focused on one specific topic to keep people engaged. Be sure to offer people the opportunity to ask questions and be sure to sign off with your website and a call to action."  -Jay York, Founder of Grove Brands

Why not go one step further, and use Facebook to create live videos to market your business?

Most people don't know this, but Facebook has a huge audience for live streams. 

Pro Tip! Always create content that targets people in your service area or region. Creating local content increases the chances that people in your area will see it.

#8 Work With Influencers

“Lawn care companies should use influential figures in the city to spread the word about their business. If you're a lawn care company in Seattle, seek out the most influential figures in your area on social media and see if they're willing to post some content about your services to their audience in exchange for some free or discounted service. An example of an influential figure may be the top real estate agent in your area, a model, or athlete.” -Kyle Dulay, Co-Founder of Collabstr

Want to go one step further?

Get with an influencer! 

Truly, there is no shortage of influencers to choose from, and there are many ways to collaborate with them. 

For example, you can create content that responds to a video created by a local construction company with a larger following. If your video catches their eyes, they may make a video in response to yours. Thus bringing attention to your services. 

Or you could just pay an influencer, or offer free lawn services in return for them promoting your business.

REMEMBER! Find an influencer in your lawn care businesses service area. Even if that influencer has fewer followers, their following is more likely to need your services.
