Social media & websites for service businesses

You’re great at what you do. Your socials should say so.

Posting about it at 10pm after a full day? Less so. We plan, write and design your social media in your voice, and nothing goes live until you’ve said yes. You get a steady, trustworthy presence online, and your evenings back.

Who we help

Made for people who are too busy to post

Your customers find you by word of mouth, then check you out online before they call. You’ve done the hard part: happy customers who’d recommend you. We help your online presence catch up with your real-world reputation.

  • Dentists
  • Builders & contractors
  • Estate agents
  • Gyms
  • Salons
  • Law firms
  • And other service businesses
What you get

Less posting stress. More looking like the pro you are.

Posts that sound like you

We start with a proper chat about your business, then write in your voice. No stiff corporate captions, no “we are delighted to announce”.

You approve everything

Every post, every caption, every graphic. If it doesn’t feel right, it doesn’t go out. Simple.

A website, if you need one

A clean, mobile-friendly site with a contact form, usually live about a week after we start work and have your details.

Examples of our work

A peek at how we post for ourselves

Before asking you to trust us with your socials, it’s only fair to show how we run our own. These are graphics we designed for Nearby Social’s own Instagram.

  • Graphic reading: Plot twist: people meet your Google listing before your Instagram.
    A quick tip on Google listings
  • Graphic reading: How working with us goes, start to finish. No dancing on camera required.
    How working with us goes
  • Graphic reading: Quick favour: search your business on your phone. What pops up? With a simple phone illustration.
    A 30-second check for owners
  • Graphic reading: Step 2 of 4. We learn your voice. We write down how you talk, so your posts sound like you. Not like a robot.
    Step 2: we learn your voice

All of these are our own content, not client work. When we have client posts to show, they’ll appear here, with the client’s permission.

The honest bit

We’re new. Here’s why that’s not a bad thing.

We won’t pretend we’ve got a wall of trophies. We’re just getting started, and we’re taking on a small number of businesses so each one gets proper attention.

What we promise

  • You see and approve every post before it goes live.
  • We only share real reviews and real results, with your written permission.
  • We tell you what we can’t do, up front.

What we’ll never promise

  • Overnight fame.
  • A guaranteed number of followers.
  • Going viral. Nobody honest can.

What steady, genuine posting does do is help the people who already hear about you feel confident picking up the phone.

Curious? Let’s start small.

Tell us about your business and we’ll send you 3 post ideas made for you. On the house, no obligation, and no hard feelings if it’s not for you.
