Your roofing business can use paid advertising and free organic posts to reach billions of users and potential customers. In this post, weâll show you how to get roofing leads on Facebook using organic and paid posts.
Organic vs. Paid Facebook Reach
There are two ways to advertise your business on Facebook: organic and paid posts.
Posting organically on Facebook is free and doesnât guarantee views or engagement. Advertising on Facebook is much more flexible. Facebook Ads lets you target posts to specific users based on their location, profile information, and demographics.
With Facebook Ads, you can pay per click, mile, or click-through rate. Since youâre paying to advertise on the social media site, you have a higher chance of reaching more people.
Both organic and paid posts on Facebook can generate leads for your business. We advise using organic and paid social in your marketing strategy to maximize your reach. To learn more about advertising on Facebook, check out our essential guide to roofing Facebook Ads.
Optimizing Your Facebook Posts for Leads
If you already have a Facebook page for your company, there are ways to optimize your page and generate more leads.
One way to attract more leads is to offer valuable information to your prospects. These days, people are more wary of giving out their email addresses. You need to give users a good reason to provide their personal information.
One strategy is employing lead magnets to incentivize users to provide their information.
Lead magnets are free resources that prospects can have in exchange for their information. These lead magnets can look like an eBook, one-sheeter, or discount code. Always include a call to action in your posts!
To increase your chances of winning leads, follow these tips as you create lead magnets on Facebook:
- Create urgency
- Use images
- Showcase benefits
- Highlight whatâs in it for them
