The SpeedRun Social blog

Post ideas and social tactics for trades

Concrete, stealable post ideas for the businesses we build for: plumbers, dentists, painters, HVAC crews, and the rest of the trades. Written to be useful even if you never use the product.

Every article, by trade

This blog exists because the question behind every trade's social media is the same: what do I actually post? A plumber does not need a content strategy. They need to know what Tuesday's post is. So the articles here are built as answer sets: a week of posts, a season of posts, a month of posts, each one concrete enough to make this afternoon and honest enough to publish under the business's own name.

Every article follows the same working rule: no invented results, no fake testimonials, no claims about what posting will do for your revenue. The trade content is drawn from what the work itself looks like. When the product is mentioned, it says what the product actually ships, which is a free plan with one campaign a week, every week, and a human review step before anything publishes.

The blog is organized by trade because that is how the readers think. A dentist does not care what a roofer should post, and pretending they do makes both articles worse. Each article links to its trade page and to one of the free tools, so the reading path stays useful at every step.

How to use this site if you run one of these businesses: find your trade, read its article once, and make one post from it the same afternoon. Not all of them. The collection is a pantry, not a to-do list, and the habit that actually moves a local business is one honest post a week for a year, not forty posts in a weekend and silence after.

How to use it if you run an agency or a marketing team: the articles are written so a trade client can approve them without a meeting. Send the link, let the owner circle the three ideas that sound like their week, and build the month off that. The same content works as a new-client kickoff and as a renewal conversation six months later, because it shows the client the plan instead of describing one.

What you will not find here: trend pieces, growth hacks, or opinions about the platform of the week. Small business social media is a consistent, unglamorous job, and the articles reflect that. The most valuable piece of advice in the whole collection is the least exciting one: post the work, consistently, in the customer's own words, and let the months do what a single post cannot.

Have a week of posts made for your business

The free plan includes one campaign a week, every week, with no credit card. You approve everything before it publishes.
