How to get facebook likes, for a business that no one would like?

[asbchris]

Ok so a crazy title, but please hear me out.

I have a construction website. It's a small business.

It serves people one time, we get the job done right the first time, and usually never go back.

A lot of our clients are older, some who have a rotary phone still.

So for the sake of social seo, how do you get people to like a company on facebook, when its a local business who basically gets in and gets out.

I read somewhere to place ads with poll type pictures. For an example say, Like us if you like a clean bath tube. It sounds weird, but it seems to help some. It gives you a like, and they all add up.

So for a business who is trying to get likes, without buying them, how do you approach it?

Thank you

Chris

I wouldn't worry to heavily about getting FB likes for that type of business. Do you have a strong presence in the local results for your area? I would focus my efforts on getting those many satisfied clients to leave a review for you on Google, Yelp, etc.

If you really want to grow on FB you could try a contest or special offer for future clients, both of those methods work pretty well.

Keep in mind though, you are getting FB likes to advertise and interact with potential customers. If the likes are just for the sake of numbers, it isn't worth it.

Just for the record, you can rank your website without any social signals.

I'd look around at other Facebook pages for the same type of business. Here are a couple to get you started:

You could use it as a place to showcase your recent projects, and help answer questions people may have. How does someone choose the right sized barn? What are the permits like in various areas of Colorado? What are some money-saving tips for keeping the barn warm in winter? Probably a lot of the same things you talk about on your website, but this also gives you a chance to interact with people. If you want to ask questions, I'd lean more towards things like memories of your favorite barn as a kid, what would your dream barn look like, which would you prefer -- a garage or a barn, etc.
