What’s the best place for local businesses to post their content?
The best place to post content is everywhere your audience might scroll, not just one platform. Most business owners make the mistake of putting all their energy into Facebook or Instagram and calling it a day. That’s like hanging your sign on one street corner and hoping the whole city drives by.
Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, LinkedIn, even Nextdoor, they all have eyeballs you want. Your job isn’t to guess which platform will hit. Your job is to get seen as much as possible. That one video you posted on Facebook? It could pull 800K views on TikTok. Or 300K on Instagram. Or it could flop and go viral somewhere else. You don’t know until you post it.
Think of your content like a billboard. Would you only put it on one highway? Or would you plaster it across every route that leads to your storefront?
Does content need to be customized for each platform?
If you’re a content creator, yes. If you’re a business owner, hell no. You don’t have time to rewrite and re-edit every video for six different channels. And good news: you don’t have to. What matters most is volume and visibility, not perfection.
Sure, TikTok has a different vibe than LinkedIn. But if your video is solid, if it’s clear, useful, and real, it will perform across the board. It’s not about gaming the algorithm. It’s about saying something worth hearing. That’s what gets shared, remembered, and acted on.
You’re not a content creator. You’re a business owner. So treat your content like leverage, not another full-time job.
How do you repurpose videos without wasting time?
Use automation tools to strip the busywork out of repurposing. Tools like Repurpose.io let you upload once and publish everywhere. For example, if YouTube is your main content hub, Repurpose can pull your videos, remove watermarks, and push them to TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, and more, all automatically.
This turns content creation into a one-and-done process. You film once, post once, and the tool does the rest. That means no more logging into every app. No more getting distracted by doomscrolling. Just results, everywhere your future customers hang out.
How often should local businesses post on social media?
You should post as much as possible. Like, way more than you think. The number one mindset block is “I don’t want to annoy anyone.” But here’s the truth: you’re not annoying, you’re invisible. And it’s costing you work.
Your competition is posting more. They’re louder. They’re pushing garbage work with zero shame, and they’re winning jobs because they’re present. Meanwhile, your business, your quality, your integrity, your killer builds, is sitting in the shadows. Because you’re too polite to promote it?
That’s not fair to you. And it’s not fair to the homeowner who ends up stuck with a clown job because they didn’t know you existed.
What if your content flops or gets low views?
Some content is going to bomb. Post anyway. The only way to figure out what works is to post enough to gather real data. If you make 52 videos a year (one a week), you’ve got 52 chances. If you post 3 a day, now you’ve got over 1,000 shots to see what hits.
Every “flop” is a rep. A lesson. A step forward. And if you keep swinging, you’re going to find your rhythm, your voice, and your best-performing content, a hell of a lot faster than the guy too scared to start.
How can you improve faster as a content creator?
The fastest way to get better is to create more often. Don’t worry about being perfect. Don’t overthink. Just talk. Show something. Explain something. Give value. Every time you post, you learn. And every post is a step toward becoming the face your local market trusts.
