Guess that depends upon how one defines "young."

I was surprised to see the new couple, "young" by my standards, actually employ a lawn-cutting crew for their postage-stamp-sized lot across the street. Many in that sub do.

I have seen the guy out cutting with a walk-behind mower in the past. Maybe he tired of it already?

Your a landscaping company correct? If so that is hyper local so yes I think it is a cery good tool for you. Also look at posting on nextdoor, your company should be very well suited there.

Not exactly landscaping. Although that’s the only category most of those sites put me in. I run a lawn fertilizing business. I do have some mowing customers grandfathered in but I haven’t taken a mowing customer for 3 years and I’ve even let the ones that don’t get fertilized find someone else. I cut two days of mowing last year and increased gross income by $12k.

Since they aren’t granular with their categories I consistently get

“can you mow?”
“I don’t offer that service.”
“I thought you were a landscaping company!”

It’s tiring.

The whippersnappers generally don't use Facebook as it's for the olds. I'm talking 18-25 set. They also rarely require landscaping. You should do it because it's free and folks in their 40s use Facebook. It won't hurt.
