Why Social Media & Content Creation Matter in the Floor Care Industry
Hello! Whether you’re with Ultimate Floor Care or new to floor restoration, grab a brew and let’s talk about something as powerful as polishing pads: social media and content creation.
We know… your van’s full of kit, your diary’s full of jobs, and marketing might feel like it’s for someone else. The reality is, if you’re not putting your work out there, people won’t know how good you are… and that means missed jobs and missed trust.
Why Should Floor Care Pros Care About Content?
In today’s world, the first thing many customers do when considering a service or a product is look you up online.
If they don’t find anything? That can be a red flag.
However, if they find a page full of proof that you know your stuff, take pride in your work, and genuinely help people? You’re in.
Here’s what content creation can do for your floor care business:
- Build Trust: Show people your processes, your tools, and your results. It proves you're not just ‘another bloke with a buffer.’
- Showcase Results: Floor sanding, stone polishing, vinyl restoration—it’s all visual work. And people love a good transformation.
- Grow Your Authority: If you resell machines or products (like many of our customers do), content builds confidence and boosts sales.
"But I Don't Know What to Post?"
Start simple. It’s not about going viral… it’s about staying visible, staying useful, and showing you’re active.
Here are a few practical content ideas you can schedule right now:
- Before & After Photos – Every job you do is an advert. Snap those transformations!
- Tool Talk Tuesdays – Feature a product or machine from your kit with a quick explainer.
- Pro Tips – Share short advice posts like “Why vacuuming before sanding saves time (and your discs)” or “Why the right pad matters on stone.”
- Testimonial Tuesdays – Use real reviews from happy customers. Screenshot, post, done.
- Video Clips – Show part of the process: applying primer, polishing marble, or using a new bit of kit.
Remember, you don’t need to reinvent the wheel every time. Repurpose your content across Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn by simply tweaking the wording so it suits each platform!!
A Monthly Content Plan That Works
You’re probably thinking, “This all sounds great, but who’s got the time?”... YES 🙌🏼 we hear you. That’s why we recommend a realistic, flexible monthly approach—especially if you're just starting out.
Here’s What a Simple Month Might Look Like:
1. Begin with your staple posts
At the start of the month, set aside an hour or two to create and schedule these in:
- Weekly Testimonial Tuesday posts (4 total)
- One or two Product Spotlights
- One FAQ-style tip post (great for SEO too!)
Use free scheduling tools like Meta Business Suite... or whatever works for you.
2. Add in real-time content as you go
Add job site snaps, videos, or behind-the-scenes moments as you work. These show your brand’s personality and connect with customers.
Pro Tip: Content creation might take longer when you start, but once you’ve got a few templates and systems in place, you’ll rattle it off in no time.
It’s Not Just About Likes—It’s About Trust and Growth
At Ultimate Floor Care, we’ve seen firsthand how the right content builds authority... especially when you're selling machines, running training, or offering a specialist service. Customers want to see that you know your stuff, and content is how you show it.
Expert technician, reseller, or beginner—don’t underestimate a well-planned post.

Get Canva (the Free version will do), find a template for testimonials, and 💥 boom... You have a template, and all you have to do is change the review for the next post... here’s an example of what we have done:

CapCut is another fantastic tool for creating and editing social media content.
It’s very similar to Canva in terms of layout and ease of use... and you can easily resize your designs for different platforms.
There’s a free version available, but just be mindful when using music in your videos, as not all tracks are cleared for commercial use... Canva is the same, so watch out for that to avoid violations and videos being muted.
And if you ever want ideas, templates, or help planning your content, we’re just a message away.
Here’s to clean, beautiful floors—and a business that shines online too.
Cheers,
Tracey and the Ultimate Floor Care Team
