Social Media for Concrete Coating: Visual Proof That Sells
You can turn simple before-and-after shots into high-converting social posts that drive calls and estimates. Shoot a dusty prep slab, a glossy wet pour, and a tight close-up of texture. Use natural light, a tape line or broom for scale, and two photos with a proven layout. Edit for true color, crop distractions, and add a small logo. Post as a carousel or reel with a short benefit-led caption — keep going to get templates, angles, and scheduling tips.

Capture Pro Concrete-Coating Before/After and Process Shots
Once you’ve got a clean before/after framed, take a few extra minutes to capture pro-grade process shots that show how the concrete coating comes together. Use natural lighting when possible, shoot close-ups of wet textures, and document crew steps with protective gear visible — homeowners trust the safety and care. Vary your compositions to tell the story quickly.
- Show the prep: cleaning, cracks, and staging props that hint at the finished use.
- Capture application: roller strokes, squeegees, and those glossy wet textures.
- Finish details: edges, texture blending, and workers in protective gear.
Keep angle variety and consistent labeling so you can drop images straight into FreshSuite and post without extra editing.
Edit Photos + Captions That Build Trust (Templates You Can Copy)
Often, you’ll get better engagement when photos look clean and captions tell a clear story—so edit for bright, true-to-life colors, crop tight on the work, and write captions that explain what you did, why it mattered, and how homeowners benefited. Use Lighting Angles to highlight texture, then apply subtle Color Correction so coatings match what clients saw in person. Use Crop Focus to remove distractions and show detail—before/after side-by-sides work great. Do Background Cleanup to erase tools, trash, or cars that undermine professionalism. Add tasteful Logo Placement in a corner so people remember your brand without covering the work. Caption template: “Job, location, problem solved, materials used, time saved, homeowner reaction.” FreshSuite helps you store templates and batch-post so you’re consistent and stress-free.
Reels, Carousels, and Stories That Turn Views Into Leads
You’ve got clean photos and captions—now turn them into content that pulls people in and sends leads to your inbox. Use reels, carousels, and stories to show real work quickly: short tutorials that solve homeowner questions, client testimonials that build trust, and tool closeups that prove your skill. Mix formats so viewers see process, finish, and care.
- Reel: quick demo or short tutorials (mix tips and speeded footage)

Track What Works: 3 Tests and Metrics to Grow Paid Estimates
Start tracking so you stop guessing which posts actually turn into paid estimates. You’ll run three simple tests to improve lead quality and conversion rate without wasting time. Check ad frequency so prospects don’t tune you out. Test landing pages to see which layout or call-to-action turns clicks into booked estimates. Use A/B testing captions to find the tone that gets homeowners to message or call.
- Rotate ad frequency and measure lead quality to avoid burnout and wasted spend.
- Swap landing pages and track conversion rate from click to booked estimate.
- Run A/B testing captions on similar photos to see which words drive contact.
FreshSuite helps automate these tests, so you get results fast and keep evenings free.
