Why do Hastings tradespeople struggle with marketing?
Too busy on site to post
You're on ladders, under sinks, and up to your elbows in work — who has time for Instagram?
Snap a photo of a finished job and Kit writes the caption, adds local hashtags, and posts it in 30 seconds.
Reviews drive all your work
Most customers check Google reviews before calling. Unanswered reviews lose you jobs.
Kit alerts you to new reviews and drafts professional replies — ready for you to copy and post.
Feast or famine workload
Some weeks you're turning work away, others the phone doesn't ring.
Kit spots quiet periods and promotes your availability before gaps appear in your schedule.
Word of mouth isn't enough anymore
Referrals used to be enough but now customers search Google first.
Kit builds your online presence with regular posts, review management, and local visibility — so you show up when people search.
