The challenge
You're doing everything yourself
When you're the one doing the jobs, quoting, and invoicing, posting is the first thing to slip.
Photos stuck on your phone
You take good before-and-after shots, but they sit in your camera roll instead of showing up where customers look.
People don't know everything you do
From shelves to drywall patches to deck repairs, customers often don't realize the range of jobs you take on.

Snap before you start
Make before photos a habit on every job. Without one, even great work is hard to show off.
Keep it short and local
Mention the neighborhood or town, never the street address, and use a saved hashtag set for your area.
Batch on a slow afternoon
Spend 30 minutes once a week adding posts to your queue, and your feed keeps going while you're on jobs.
Be accurate about licenses and permissions
Only mention licenses, insurance, or certifications you actually hold, and check what work your area requires a license for. Get the customer's permission before posting photos of their home. This is general guidance, not legal advice.
Frequently asked questions
Do handymen really need social media?
It isn't required, but many homeowners look at photos of past work before hiring. A steady feed supports word of mouth by giving people something to look at.
What should a handyman post?
Before-and-after photos (with permission), quick tips, service spotlights, short job videos, and availability updates.
How much time does it take each week?
With the queue and bulk scheduling, you can plan a week of posts in one short sitting and let PilotPost publish them.
Which networks should a handyman use?
Facebook is strong for local homeowners, Instagram and TikTok suit short videos, and Pinterest works well for project photos people save for later.

Plans start at €19 a month (Starter: up to 5 networks, 100 scheduled posts a month). Pro is €49 and Agency €129. Every plan starts with a 7-day free trial of Starter: you add a card, nothing is charged for 7 days, and you can cancel any time before it ends.
