Social media alert for businesses! This is a biggie! βŒβŒπŸ†˜
Facebook is rolling out a new restriction that limits some business Pages to just two posts with external links per month.

Yep β€” just two.

That includes links to your website, booking page, online store or Trade Me, and putting the link in the comments may still count.

TradieSocials is keeping an eye on the rollout and finding the best ways to work around it.

One option is to automatically send customers your link when they comment on your post.

Want to know how? Just comment TECH1 below, and we’ll send you the tutorial.

πŸ’‘ TRADIESOCIALS TECH TIPS #2

Did you know Instagram now lets you rearrange your profile grid?

For years, businesses and creators have wanted more control over how their profiles look. Now you can move posts around your grid without deleting and reposting them.

This means you can:

βœ… Showcase your best content first

βœ… Create a more professional-looking profile

βœ… Highlight promotions, products, or services

βœ… Keep your branding looking consistent

To use it:

πŸ“± Open your Instagram profile

πŸ“± Select a post

πŸ“± Tap Reorder Grid

πŸ“± Drag and drop posts into place

It's a simple update, but it can make a big difference to how your profile looks to potential customers.

πŸŽ₯ Watch the video to see how it works.

πŸ’‘ TRADIESOCIALS TECH TIPS #1

Did you know you can automatically send information to people who comment on your Facebook and Instagram posts?

Instead of manually replying to every comment, you can ask people to comment a word like GUIDE, QUOTE, PRICE, or INFO and automatically send them the information via Messenger or Instagram DM.

βœ… Save time

βœ… Capture more leads

βœ… Respond instantly

βœ… Create a better customer experience

This is one of my favourite social media tools because it works while you're busy running your business.

β€œHey Hayley… we haven’t posted since February.”

πŸ‘€

Whaaaat??? No winter social media plan?!

Meanwhile… your customers hearts are freezing without you β„οΈπŸ˜­lol

If your current marketing strategy is:
❌ β€œHopefully people remember us”
❌ Posting once every 4 months
❌ Letting competitors dominate Facebook
❌ Relying entirely on word of mouth in 2026

…you are in a social media emergency 🚨

Because while you’re quiet online… someone else is getting the jobs.

Tradie Socials helps businesses stay visible, consistent, and top of mind β€” especially during the colder months when customers need you most πŸ‘€
