Most local businesses think social media only works if something “takes off.”
That’s not true.
For service-based and local brands, consistency beats virality every time.
When someone finds your business on Instagram, they’re not asking:
“Did this go viral?”
They’re asking:
Are they active?
Do they look professional?
Can I trust them?
Posting consistently builds familiarity.
Familiarity builds trust.
Trust leads to bookings.
This is why showing up regularly, even with simple, on-brand posts, matters more than chasing trends or views.
You don’t need to post daily forever.
You just need a steady presence that reassures people you’re open, established, and reliable.
That’s how social media works for local businesses.
