Let’s be real: no one running a gutter company dreams about becoming a content creator. You’re not trying to go viral. You just want more people to find your business, trust you fast and book a high-paying job. Here’s the deal: businesses that consistently create content generate 67% more leads than those that don’t.
This isn’t about fluff or chasing clicks. It’s about showing up in search when someone Googles “gutter cleaning near me.” It’s about proving you’re the expert before they even pick up the phone.
The good news? You already have everything you need to make that happen: photos, job stories, local knowledge and real answers to real questions.
You’re just not turning it into content yet. Let’s fix that.
Gutter Tip #1: Start With Popular Search Terms
You don’t need to write a novel. Just answer common questions homeowners have about gutters in your area.
Try blog posts like:
-
“When Should I Clean My Gutters in [City]?”
-
“How Much Do Seamless Gutters Cost in [Region]?”
-
“5 Signs Your Gutters Need Replacing (and What It Costs)”
-
“Gutter Guards vs. Regular Gutters in [City’s] Climate”
Each blog should be:
-
500–800 words
-
Focused on one question
-
Include your city name in the title, URL and a few spots in the text
Google loves it. So do homeowners who don’t want to call until they’re confident.
Gutter Tip #2: Turn Every Job Into a Visual Story
You’re already out there doing the work. Start documenting it. We live in a visual world and it’s pivotal to showcase your work through visual assets.
Take 3–5 photos at every job:
-
A before shot of the problem
-
In-progress photo (ladder, gear, your crew in action)
-
After shot of the finished gutter work
-
Optional: a photo of debris you removed or damage you prevented
Post the job recap on:
-
Google Business Profile
-
Facebook and Instagram
-
Your website gallery or blog
Add a short caption: what city it was in, what you fixed and why it mattered. Now you’ve got trust-building content and it didn’t cost you a dime.
Gutter Tip #3: Use Google Business Posts Weekly
Most gutter companies never touch their Google Business Profile after it’s verified. Big mistake. Google lets you post regular updates. These help your local visibility.
Ideas:
-
Before/after job photos
-
Seasonal maintenance reminders
-
Quick service promos
-
“Now scheduling spring cleanings in [City]”
Write like you’d talk to a neighbor. Keep it short. Keep it relevant. Do it weekly.
Gutter Tip #4: Film 30-Second “Explainers” on Your Phone
You don’t need a pro setup. You need your phone, some good lighting and a little confidence.
Topics you can knock out in one take:
-
“Why gutter guards save you money long term”
-
“How often should you clean gutters in [City]?”
-
“What happens if you don’t fix a sagging gutter?”
-
“Why we recommend seamless over sectional gutters”
Upload it to YouTube (for SEO), then repurpose it on Facebook, Instagram, and your website. Short, real videos build more trust than stock images ever will.
Gutter Tip #5: Build a High-Value FAQ Page
Start writing down the questions customers ask over the phone. Then turn those into a clean, helpful FAQ page:
-
“Do you offer free estimates?”
-
“How long does an installation take?”
-
“Do I need to be home during service?”
-
“What kind of warranty do you offer?”
Keep the answers simple and straight to the point.
Bonus: search engines crawl FAQ pages heavily. They often show up in featured snippets (that’s free exposure above the normal listings).
Gutter Tip #6: Highlight Local Service Areas
Create content that targets towns, zip codes or counties you actually serve.
Example:
“We just finished a 2-story gutter cleaning in [City Name]. Heavy debris build-up caused overflow, and water was pooling around the foundation. Our crew had it fixed same-day with a full flush and reseal.”
Use that format over and over again. Every job becomes content. Every post builds local relevance. Every page becomes a lead magnet for your next job in that area.
Gutter Tip #7: Use Simple Social Captions That Educate and Sell
You don’t need to be clever on social media. You need to be helpful, honest and local.
Try captions like:
-
“Clogged gutters in [City]? We’re booking cleanings this week—call for a quote.”
-
“Another seamless install wrapped up in [Neighborhood]. 50 feet of smooth drainage and one happy customer.”
-
“Overflowing gutters after yesterday’s storm? We’re doing emergency inspections today.”
Talk to your audience like real people. Your competitors are ignoring social. This is your edge.
Content Doesn’t Have to Be Complicated. Just Consistent.
You don’t need a big content plan, a writer on staff or a fancy camera crew. Instead, you need to:
- Talk about what you’re doing
- Use language your customers use
- Focus on your service areas
- Show your work through visuals
- Offer value and keep showing up
