Not viral. Not vanity metrics. Just a consistent, professional presence on Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn that tells customers your business is active, credible and worth calling. From £250/month, no contracts.
Before a customer picks up the phone, they Google you. Then they check your Facebook. What they find in the next ten seconds determines whether they call you or your competitor. A dead profile – last post from 18 months ago – is the online equivalent of a shuttered shopfront.
Social media for a local business is not about chasing followers or going viral. It is about having something there. Active, professional, up to date. Completed jobs. Satisfied customers. A business that clearly knows what it is doing. That is what converts a browser into a caller.
The problem is that for a busy tradesperson, a logistics company or a small business owner, social media is the first thing that gets dropped when the day gets hectic. That is exactly why we do it for you – every week, without you having to think about it.
An active profile is social proof. It tells customers you are real, you are busy and you are worth their time before they even make contact.
Regular posting means your business appears in feeds consistently. When a follower eventually needs your service, yours is the name they remember.
You get on with running your business. We handle profile setup, content creation, scheduling, captions and reporting. Just send us photos when you have them.
Consistent Google Business Profile posts are a local SEO signal. Brand recognition from social drives more direct searches for your name. The two work together.
One monthly fee. Profiles optimised before the first post goes out. Up to three posts per week. Every platform managed, every caption written, every post scheduled.
Before a single post goes out, we audit and fully optimise every profile. A poorly set-up page undermines everything published on it – so we get the foundations right first.
Still the most important platform for local businesses. Where customers check reviews, look at photos and decide whether to call. We keep your page active and working.
Visual credibility. Particularly powerful for trades, hospitality and food businesses where showing the work says more than any ad.
Essential for B2B, logistics and professional services. We keep your company page active and credible for the people who make purchasing decisions.
No content? No problem. We create every post from scratch. Your own photos produce the best results, but we can work from nothing if needed.
A plain-English monthly report covering reach, impressions, engagement and follower growth. No jargon, no dashboard to decode.
GBP posts appear directly in local search results and your Maps listing. Regular posts are a local SEO signal that keep your profile looking active to both Google and potential customers. Available standalone, or at a discounted rate alongside our GBP optimisation service .

We will always be honest with you: your own photos – even taken on a phone – consistently outperform AI-generated or stock imagery for reach, engagement and trust. A photo of an actual job you completed last Tuesday is worth ten polished AI renders.
That said, we can work from nothing. If you have no photos at all, we create posts using AI-generated imagery and make them look professional. It gets the job done and your profiles stay active. But if you can send us even a handful of site photos each month, we will always prioritise using them.
Before / after, finished installs, a project handed over – these perform best every time.
People buy from people. A photo of your team on site builds trust no stock image can replicate.
Screenshot a 5-star review and send it over. We turn it into a branded post that doubles as social proof.
The Portcullis Power van post got 28 likes and 3 shares. No filter. No production. Just a real photo.
Post performance: real photo vs AI-generated
Illustrative example. Real photos regularly achieve 4–8× the organic reach of stock or AI imagery on Facebook.
Tracked from actual client campaigns. Social media is a slow build – these results came from consistent, week-on-week posting.
Getting started takes one short onboarding call. After that, we handle everything – profile optimisation, content, scheduling, reporting – and you get on with running your business. There is no approval process unless you want one.
You deal directly with Matt Warren throughout. No account manager layers, no offshore content farms. Everything is created with your specific business, sector and tone of voice in mind.
Combining social media management with local SEO or Google Business Profile optimisation gives you maximum visibility – online search and social presence reinforcing each other.
A short call to understand your business, tone and services. Then, before the first post goes out, we audit and fully optimise every profile – bio, categories, contact details, CTA buttons and cover image guidance. A solid foundation matters.
We build a content plan around your sector, services and platforms. First posts are created and either approved by you or scheduled directly – whichever you prefer.
Up to three posts per week, every week, across your platforms. Captions written, images sourced or created, scheduled at optimal times. You do not have to touch a thing.
Every month you receive a clear summary of reach, impressions, engagement and follower growth. What worked, what is planned next, no padding.
Social signals are not a direct Google ranking factor, but active social media supports your SEO in ways that compound over time. The two services are most effective when they run in parallel.
When customers see your posts consistently, they start searching for your business name directly. Branded searches are a strong trust signal for Google. Regular Google Business Profile posts keep your Maps listing active and contribute to local search visibility.

How social feeds into SEO
Social media is not SEO, but it feeds it. Running both together compounds results.
Any business that relies on local customers benefits from a consistent social presence. These are the sectors we work with most – each with different content approaches and different reasons why social media matters.
Electricians, plumbers, builders, roofers. Your best posts are your completed jobs. We turn every decent site photo into a trust-building post.
LinkedIn is the platform for you. We position your business as a credible operator and keep your company page active for decision-makers.
Product shots, seasonal specials, behind-the-scenes content. Instagram and Facebook are where food and drink businesses build following and drive footfall.
Solicitors, accountants, consultants. Consistent posting builds the credibility and familiarity that professional service clients look for before making contact.
New listings, sold boards, local market insights. Social media keeps you front of mind and reduces dependence on portal-generated leads.
Therapists, coaches, healthcare providers. Consistent, professional social presence builds the trust that health-related clients need before making an appointment.

No setup fees. No long-term contracts. You stay because it is working, not because you are locked in.
Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn. Profiles optimised from day one. Up to 3 posts per week. Everything done for you.
Add Google Business Profile posting to your package for a direct local SEO benefit.
Discounted when combined with a GBP optimisation package.
Both packages run month-to-month. No minimum term. No setup fees. No hidden costs.
What is included in social media management?
Profile optimisation on every platform before the first post goes out, then up to three posts per week across Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn. Caption writing, image creation, scheduling and monthly reporting all included. Google Business Profile posting is available as a £50/month add-on.
How much does social media management cost?
Our package starts from £250 per month with no setup fees and no long-term contracts. That includes profile optimisation, Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn. GBP posting is £50/month extra. Full details on our packages page .
Do you optimise our social profiles as well?
Yes – and it is included in the base package. Before the first post goes out, we audit and fully optimise every profile: bio, categories, contact details, website links, CTA buttons and cover image guidance. A poorly set-up page undermines everything you post on it.
Do I need to provide photos or content?
No. We can work entirely from scratch using AI-generated imagery and written content. However, your own photos always produce better results for reach and engagement. Even basic phone photos of jobs, your team or finished work significantly outperform stock or AI imagery.
Will social media help my SEO?
Social signals are not a direct ranking factor, but consistent social activity supports your local SEO indirectly. Regular GBP posts help local visibility. Brand recognition drives direct searches. The two services work better together than either does alone.
How often will you post?
Up to three times per week across your chosen platforms. Consistency matters far more than volume. A business posting reliably three times a week looks more credible than one that posts ten times in a burst and then goes quiet.
What results can I expect?
The primary goal is a consistent, credible presence that builds trust over time. Reach and engagement grow steadily over 3 to 6 months. In the first two weeks of a Portcullis Power Solutions campaign, we achieved 1,900 accounts reached. We report every month so you can track exactly what is happening.
Which platforms do you cover?
The base package covers Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn. Google Business Profile posting is available as a £50/month add-on. We do not currently offer TikTok, X or Pinterest management as part of this service.
