For trades & home services

Turn finished jobs into leads

Every completed job is proof you're good at what you do — and a reason a neighbour hires you next. Optimate learns your business's voice and turns your work photos into on-brand posts that keep the leads coming, scheduled without you touching a keyboard on site.

No card needed · moves to Free after 14 days

Publishes to all 11 platforms: LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, X, YouTube, TikTok, Pinterest, Threads, Google Business, Bluesky and Mastodon.

Posts like these, in your colours

Made by Optimate's design engine for Redline Plumbing & Heating, an example business we made up. Yours come out with your own name, logo and colours.

Where trades businesses lose time on social

Photos that never get used

The van's full of great before-and-afters, but posting them at the end of a long day never happens.

Not sure what to even write

A blank caption box after a 10-hour day is why most trades give up on social entirely.

Being found locally

Facebook, Instagram and your Google Business profile are where local customers check you out — and all need feeding.

Social media, handled — for trades businesses

Optimate learns your brand once, then plans, writes and schedules on-brand posts across every platform from a single login — so staying visible stops being a daily scramble.

AI content in your voice

Set up your brand kit once — voice, audience, the words you'd never use — and Optimate writes captions that sound like you, not like a template.

On-brand images & designs

Generate images and typeset designs in your colours and logo — no designer, no stock-photo hunt.

Plan a full week in minutes

See everything on one calendar, schedule across all your platforms at once, and stop posting reactively.

Analytics & recommendations

One dashboard for your connected accounts on paid plans (LinkedIn doesn't share analytics for personal profiles), plus plain-English suggestions on what to post next and when.

Comments in one inbox

On paid plans, comments on your posts come into one inbox from the platforms that allow it, so you can reply without opening each app. Optimate can draft a reply in your voice for you to check.

Bring your team in

Invite staff or a freelancer with the right permissions — unlimited team members on every plan.

Common questions

Is Optimate a good fit for trades businesses?

Yes. Optimate is built for small teams that need to stay visible on social without a full-time marketer — it learns your brand and does the heavy lifting of writing, designing and scheduling.

Which platforms can I post to?

Facebook, Instagram, X, LinkedIn, TikTok, YouTube, Threads, Pinterest, Bluesky, Google Business and Mastodon. LinkedIn: personal profiles for now; Company Pages once LinkedIn approves Optimate.

Do I need any design or marketing skills?

No. You set up your brand once, and Optimate writes the captions, makes the images and schedules everything. You just review and approve.

Do I need a card to try it?

No. You can try Pro, Studio or Agency free for 14 days with no card — you only pay if you decide to stay.

I'm on-site all day — is this quick?

Yes. Upload a photo, and Optimate writes the post and schedules it. You can line up a week of content in one sitting, from your phone.
