Hey everyone, hope you’re all doing well! I’m starting a small digital business and would love to get some tips on how to grow it on Facebook. The site will connect cleaners with clients, and I’d love to hear what you think, what challenges you face when looking for a cleaner, or any suggestions on how to attract more people.
Thanks!

Definitely start with a professional-looking Facebook page—details on your services, clear contact info, and a link to your website are a must. A great cover photo and good images also make a huge difference. Posting client testimonials, before-and-after photos, and cleaning tips will keep followers interested and show the value of your work. I recommend Boost App Social. It’s helpful for finding new ideas quickly. You could also offer a special deal to welcome new customers. That’s always popular.
It depends on your goals. Facebook groups are a great place to engage with people. Posting content regularly seems obvious, but it can be trickier than it seems. If posting regularly is hard, try boosting your posts with a small ad budget to increase your reach.

Thank you for the reply! Since my business will be online, I need to attract people to Facebook and to the website. I started posting in community groups, but the engagement has been really low, sometimes with no likes on the posts. However, I’ll start posting more frequently. Thanks!

No problem! Some communities are just not great at engaging for whatever reason. Keep it up and I’m sure you’ll do great! Best of luck!
A lot of people on Facebook Marketplace don’t even show up for free stuff. It’s good to have a business Facebook page, and eventually, you’ll get followers, engagement, and referrals. But it could take months or even years before it really takes off. People usually find cleaners through word of mouth, other apps, or websites like Yelp, Google, or Craigslist. Try posting at least once a week with a unique and relevant photo. You might want to check out other platforms like X, Blusky, Instagram, and TikTok too. Apps like Hootsuite can help you post to multiple platforms at once and schedule posts, saving you time. Or you could hire a local brand management company if you can afford it.
Focus on creating engaging content, running targeted ads, posting client testimonials, offering promotions, and encouraging reviews to build trust and attract clients. Having a good website will also help.
