Does social media actually work for HVAC, plumbing, and trades businesses?

Yes. Trades and service businesses are among the fastest-growing categories on social media because their content is real, useful, and trusted by homeowners. Businesses that show up consistently with educational content, team expertise, and local presence are outperforming polished lifestyle brands across every major platform. The key difference is that the content needs to be built for your specific industry and local market — not adapted from a generic agency template.

What industries does TrueFuture Media specialize in?

TrueFuture Media works exclusively with trades and service businesses including HVAC companies, plumbers, electricians, roofers, pest control operators, landscaping companies, commercial cleaners, accountants, insurance firms, law firms, and similar essential service businesses. We do not work with restaurants, retail brands, or lifestyle companies.

How much does social media management cost for a trades business?

TrueFuture Media offers three social media management packages: the Foundation package ($1,800–$2,500/month) for businesses building their presence on 2 platforms, the Engine package ($3,500–$5,000/month) for businesses ready to scale social into a lead generation channel, and the Full Build package ($6,000–$9,000/month) for businesses doing $2M+ that want a fully outsourced social media department. Strategic consulting engagements start at $8,000 for a 90-day sprint.

How much time will I need to spend if I hire TrueFuture Media?

Minimal. After the initial onboarding deep dive into your business, your involvement is limited to approving content before it goes live and joining a monthly call to review results. TrueFuture handles strategy, creation, posting, and community management. No homework, no chasing you for photos every week.

What metrics does TrueFuture Media report on?

Every monthly report starts with business outcomes: inbound calls, form submissions, DM inquiries, estimate requests, and booked jobs tracked via call tracking, UTM-tagged links, and form attribution. Impressions and engagement are also included as leading indicators, but TrueFuture will never hand you a report that celebrates follower growth while your phone isn't ringing.

Does TrueFuture Media use AI in their work?

Yes, transparently. TrueFuture uses AI tools internally across content production, research, reporting, and client workflows — not to replace human judgment, but to give strategists leverage. This means more content produced faster at price points that don't require a trades business to spend like an enterprise company. AI chatbot setup and automation workflows are also available as add-on Growth Services.
