Most of your work comes from referrals

Someone asks for your Instagram, and you cringe a little.

A referral is only the first step. Before they call, they look you up. We make sure what they find matches the homes you build, so they think, "Okay. I see why they recommended them."

Sound familiar?

You're at framing. Every marketing tip you find is about a finished kitchen.

Most marketing advice is built for people selling products, not homes that take a year to build. So you never know what to post today. We give you what to capture and what to post for the stage you're in right now. Pick a stage and see.

"We're framing this week. What should I be capturing, and what do I post?"

Inside BuildMarketingOne Home. One Year of Content.

Framing

Framing is the first time a future homeowner can feel the size of the rooms. Help them picture standing in their kitchen before it has walls.

What to capture

  • Slow walk-through video of the main living space
  • Wide shot from the street (same spot you'll shoot the finished home)
  • Window openings framing the view
  • Your super explaining one framing decision

What to post

  • Explain one decisionHook: Why we moved this window 18 inches before the walls went up.

"You're doing our marketing now."

Marketing landed on someone who has never done marketing.

Maybe it's you. Maybe it's your spouse, your daughter, or your office manager. We train whoever is running it, and we tell them exactly what to do next. No marketing experience needed.

You shouldn't have to become a marketer to look as established as you are.

So, where do you start?

You don't need another job. You need the right kind of help.

Hey, I'm Courtney

You need someone who gets construction. I grew up in it.

My dad was a custom home builder, so I know how much goes into every house, and how little of it usually makes it online.

I also know what one more home a year can mean for a family business. That's why I do this.
