1️⃣ Industry Insight: Why Facebook Marketplace is a Lead-Gen Goldmine

📊 The Numbers Don’t Lie:

• Over 1 billion people use Facebook Marketplace every month.

• 66% of Facebook users visit local business pages at least once a week.

• 78% of consumers discover new local services through Facebook recommendations.

• Marketplace listings get 20x more engagement than a typical business page post.

LET ME SAY THAT AGAIN FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK!

Marketplace Listings get 20x more engagement that a typical business page post.

QUICK Side note and disclaimer: These guys are not a client of ours but if you’re looking for a Local Tree Company that does Facebook right and has a really good business page check out Roberts Tree Service LLC.

🚨 Why Most Tree Services Are Doing It Wrong:

1. They post like a retail product, not a service. Facebook’s algorithm deprioritizes listings that don’t fit its marketplace model.

2. They don’t include the right keywords. No one searches “Joe’s Tree Service” on Marketplace—they search Tree Removal or Stump Grinding.

3. They get banned for posting the wrong way. Facebook cracks down on spammy, repetitive listings.

Here are 3 example of BAD - SPAMMY Marketplace listings

🪓 Takeaway: If you’re not using Facebook Marketplace the right way, you’re missing out on free leads from people already searching for tree services in your area.

2️⃣ Growth Hack 1: The Right Way to Post Tree Services on Marketplace

Here’s exactly how to post so you get maximum visibility without getting flagged:

✅ How to Structure Your Post:

1. Category: Always choose “Services” instead of “For Sale.”

2. Title: Keep it simple—“Tree Removal & Stump Grinding | Fast, Reliable Service”

3. Description:

   • ✅ What services you offer (Tree Removal, Trimming, Stump Grinding, etc.).

   • ✅ Where you work (specific towns or regions).

   • ✅ Call-to-action: “Message us for a fast quote!”

4. Pricing: Either leave it blank or put $1 to encourage people to message.

5. Photos: Use real job photos, not stock images. Before/after pictures work great.

🔥 Pro Tip: Post in local Buy/Sell/Trade groups to get even more exposure.

3️⃣ Growth Hack 2: How to Pre-Qualify Potential Customer and Avoid The Crappy Ones.

Facebook leads can be hit or miss—some people are just browsing, while others need a tree removed ASAP. Here’s how to separate real customers from price shoppers:

Step 1: Use an Auto-Reply Message

Set up Facebook’s Auto-Reply so the second someone messages you, they get:

“Hey! Thanks for reaching out. We offer Tree Removal, Trimming, and Stump Grinding. Most jobs range from $X to $Y. What’s your address so we can check the job?”

→ This filters out people looking for a $50 job and engages real leads immediately.

Step 2: Move Them to an Instant Estimate

Once they reply, send them to your Timbrr Instant Estimate Tool so they can enter their details and get a quote—no back-and-forth messaging required.

🔥 Pro Tip: Repost your listing every few days to stay at the top of Marketplace results.

🎬 Movie Break: Den of Thieves 2

Alright, we’re switching gears for a second. I caught Den of Thieves 2 over the weekend, and it did not disappoint.

• Gerard Butler? Still a savage.

• Insane heist sequences.

• That final scene? Pure chaos.

If you liked Heat or the first Den of Thieves, this one’s a must-watch. Sometimes you just need a solid, tactical action flick to reset the brain.

This one is Steven Approved! Let the wife and kids go to bed early, make a bowl of cereal and stay up late watching this one. F**k I love a good shoot em up heist movie!

🔥 The Bottom Line:

Facebook Marketplace is one of the fastest, easiest ways to get tree service leads—IF you post correctly.

✅ Follow the right post format (title, description, and photos matter).
✅ Use auto-replies to filter real customers from tire-kickers.
✅ Direct leads to an Instant Estimate Tool so they don’t waste your time.

👉 Action Item This Week: Post ONE new Marketplace listing using the checklist and track how many messages you get.

Let’s work smarter, not harder. Your next big job could be one Facebook message away. 🚀🌳
