Garage doors
Marketing for garage door companies
A new garage door changes the whole front of a house, and a snapped spring is a call someone needs answered today. Mitch writes posts from both, using the photo you take before you drive off.
A car trapped behind a dead door at 7am means a search and a phone call inside five minutes. The caller has no time to compare quotes. They ring whoever shows near the top of the map with reviews that look recent and real.
The other half of the trade is the opposite: a planned fit, a new insulated door, a driveway makeover. Customers take their time and compare. Both start with the same thing, which is what your page and profile show.
What gets in the way
Stuck doors go to whoever ranks
Someone stuck behind a jammed door rings a name near the top of the map with recent reviews. If yours is not there, the call goes elsewhere.
The best before and after on the street
A new door is the biggest change you can make to the front of a house in a day. Most of those photos never get posted.
Easy reviews left unasked
A spring swapped in 40 minutes is an easy five star. You are on the next call before anyone asks for it.
Tracks and springs all day
You are lining up tracks and winding springs from first thing. By the evening you are not writing a post.
A job, start to finish
A made-up firm: Up and Over Doors in Doncaster. Gary replaces a tired up-and-over steel door on a 1980s semi in Bessacarr with an insulated sectional door in anthracite, with a new opener and two remotes. He photographs the old door from the road in the morning and the new one at lunchtime.
He dictates: "Replaced a rusted up and over with an insulated sectional in anthracite, new motor and two remotes, fitted in half a day." Mitch writes a Facebook post and an Instagram post that name the door and the area. On Local, a Google post goes up and the customer gets a review text a day or two later.
How Mitch handles it
Installs and repairs both make posts
A new door gets a before and after. A snapped spring gets a quick note on how fast you turned up. Mitch writes both and waits for your approval.
