Social media management for tradespeople.
Branded posts every week that show your finished jobs and reviews, on Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn and Google. From £150 + VAT a month, for builders, plumbers, electricians, roofers and more.
What does affordable social media management for tradespeople look like?
Socially Active is a low-cost, done-for-you social media service for tradespeople across the UK, run by Compelite Pro, a social media agency based in Bristol. For £150 to £350 + VAT a month we write and design branded static posts for your business, you approve them, and we publish them every week to Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn and Google Business Profile. For a tradesperson, that usually means finished jobs, reviews and the areas you cover, so people can see you are reliable before they call.
Why social media matters for tradespeople.
Most people check a tradesperson out before they get in touch: your photos, your reviews and whether you look like an established business. A Google Business Profile with recent posts and a tidy Facebook and Instagram can be the difference between getting the call and getting skipped. You are on site all day, so we do the posting.

Social media for tradespeople: your questions.
I’m on site all day. How much time will this take?
A few minutes a month to approve your posts, plus sending us photos of finished jobs whenever you take them. We do the rest.
Is social media worth it for tradespeople?
For most, yes, mainly because it builds trust. People who hear about you or find you on Google will usually check your social media and reviews before they call, and an active profile with real jobs on it reassures them you are a proper business.
How much does social media management for tradespeople cost?
Socially Active plans cost £150, £250 or £350 + VAT a month for one, two or three branded posts a week, published to Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn and Google Business Profile. There is a one-off onboarding fee equal to one month, and a 3-month minimum term.
Do I approve every post?
Yes. We send you next month’s posts by the 25th, with one round of changes on each. Nothing goes live without your say-so.
Do you work with tradespeople outside Bristol?
Yes. We work with tradespeople anywhere in the UK, fully online. Our team is based in Bristol, and photo shoots are available in Bristol and Bath.
