General construction contractors · Social media

Show the building going up, so the next owner sees what you can do.

Social media marketing for a general contractor is the practice of showing work in progress and finished buildings where owners, architects and dealers already look. GullySales plans what to post from your sites, sets a simple routine for the site team and watches which posts bring enquiries.

What social media means

Social media is the ongoing posting your business does on platforms such as Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn to stay visible to customers and prospects between purchases. GullySales plans a posting calendar, writes captions and designs the images so the page looks active and answers what a visitor would ask.

Sales and marketing for general construction contractors, the overview.

For general construction contractors

Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.

  • “A site is better evidence than any advertisement”

    A column being cast, a slab shuttering checked or a handover day tells an owner more than a slogan. Nearly all of this is already on your engineers' phones, taken for records and never shown.

  • “The wrong platform is chosen first”

    Plot owners look on Instagram and Facebook, architects and consultants on LinkedIn, and some contractors use only the one they know. Pick the platform where your next client reads, then add others only when the first one runs steadily.

  • “Posts show the work but hide the person”

    A construction page of unlabelled photographs gives no sense of who is behind it. An owner wants to see the engineer who answers the phone and the owner of the firm walking the site.

What we do

What we deliver for general construction contractors.

Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.

  1. A content plan from your own sites

    We list what your sites already produce: progress stages, material checks and handovers, and decide what can be shown.

    Result: A plan listing what to post and what to leave out.

  2. A simple site photo routine

    A short guide telling the site engineer what to photograph at each stage, with place and stage noted.

    Result: A folder of labelled photographs ready to use.

  3. Post templates

    Layouts for progress updates, handover posts and project summaries, so a post takes minutes to prepare.

    Result: Templates in your colours that the site team can fill.

  4. A permission note

    A line in your contract or handover note asking the owner whether the building may be shown.

    Result: A written answer on file for each job.

  5. Enquiry tracking from posts

    Each enquiry that mentions a post is recorded against that post.

    Result: You can see which kinds of post brought a call.

How the result is measured

  • Posts published
  • Engagement rate
  • Enquiries from social profiles

Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.

How it works

How the social media work runs

The work itself, in order. How an engagement starts, from your brief to a written scope, is set out on our method page.

  1. 1

    Understand your audience and platforms

    We identify which platforms your specific buyers actually use and what kind of content they respond to.

  2. 2

    Audit current presence

    We review existing pages, past content performance and any gaps in consistency.

  3. 3

    Build the content calendar

    A plan is created, balancing genuine value with occasional direct offers.

  4. 4

    Implement and post

    Content is created and published consistently on the agreed schedule.

  5. 5

    Measure and optimise

    We track enquiries alongside engagement and adjust the content mix based on what actually performs.

Where this fits

Three pieces of sales work, in this order.

This work sits inside sales process design, at stage 0, foundation. The audit comes before it, and sales management keeps it running.

  1. Step 1

    Sales audit

    Find where deals are being lost and what to fix first.

    Start here if you cannot say where orders are lost.

  2. Step 2 · you are here

    Sales process design

    One written way to sell, from first enquiry to repeat order.

    Start here if every salesperson sells differently.

  3. Step 3

    Sales management

    A target, a review routine and someone who owns the number.

    Start here if the team has targets and no routine.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Tell us what you need
Is it safe to show clients' buildings?
Only with the owner's permission, given in writing. Some agree if the address and names are left out. Show what you have permission for and nothing else.
Do we need paid promotion?
Not to start. Run the organic routine first and see what draws replies. Paid promotion is a later step, and the platform's current rules apply to the advertisements you run.
Who in our team should post?
One named person, ideally the site engineer or an office coordinator, so posts do not depend on the owner's time. We give that person the templates and a way to check what is allowed.
How much does it cost?
There is no price list, because the work differs by business. The fee is scoped after we have read your brief and spoken to you, and put in writing before anything starts, split into our time, your media spend and production.
How long is the contract?
The term is agreed in writing after we have spoken, along with the fee and the reporting. It is never a default twelve months, and renewal is decided on the numbers against the baseline recorded at the start.
How soon will we see results?
It depends on the trade, the channel and what is already in place. After we have read your brief and spoken to you, we say what we would expect to move first and how it will be measured against the baseline. Nothing here is guaranteed.
Who will actually do the work?
The person you speak to before anything starts. We work from one office in Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru, with no account managers in between.
What do you need from us?
Your brief, and a conversation. After that, access to whatever this work touches, such as your website, your accounts or your enquiry record, and time with the people who handle your enquiries.
What if we are not happy with the work?
Tell us and the plan changes. Everything is reported against the baseline, so a number that is not moving is visible to both sides. The term is in your written scope, and the refund and cancellation policy sets out the rest.
