The Challenge
Background:
SparklePro Cleaning, a growing commercial cleaning company in Austin, had a solid reputation for high-quality service but struggled to tap into the potential of social media for business growth. While they had a presence on several platforms, their efforts lacked focus and a clear strategy for turning followers into clients. They recognized that social media could be a powerful tool for commercialization but didn’t know where to start.
The Challenge:
SparklePro Cleaning encountered several roadblocks in using social media to drive business growth:
- Low engagement and visibility: Their social media posts weren’t getting much traction, with limited engagement and visibility across platforms.
- No clear commercial strategy: Although they posted regularly, there was no clear plan to turn social media followers into paying customers.
- Lack of brand consistency: Their branding across platforms was inconsistent, which led to confusion and a weak brand identity.
Goal: To transform SparklePro’s social media channels into powerful tools for commercialization, driving client acquisition and brand growth.

The Process
Step 1: Conducting a Social Media Audit
Clicks & Conversions began by conducting a comprehensive audit of SparklePro’s existing social media presence. This revealed:
- Inconsistent posting schedules: Posts were sporadic, making it hard to maintain consistent engagement.
- Unclear calls-to-action (CTAs): Most posts lacked clear CTAs, which meant followers weren’t sure what actions to take after engaging with the content.
- Branding issues: The company’s visuals, tone, and messaging were inconsistent across platforms, making it difficult to build a recognizable brand.
Step 2: Developing a Focused Social Media Strategy
Clicks & Conversions developed a creative and structured social media strategy that revolved around three key pillars: engagement, brand consistency, and commercialization.
- Engagement: We created content specifically designed to increase interaction with SparklePro’s target audience. This included:
- Interactive posts like polls, quizzes, and “Behind the Scenes” videos that humanized the brand and encouraged follower participation.
- Client success stories and testimonials highlighting how SparklePro transformed spaces for their clients. This not only showcased their expertise but also invited client engagement.
- Targeted hashtags and geolocation tagging to increase the visibility of posts in Austin, Texas, where they operate.
- Brand Consistency: We helped SparklePro establish a cohesive brand identity across all platforms, including:
- A unified visual style using company colors, logos, and professional-grade imagery.
- A consistent tone of voice that emphasized reliability, professionalism, and their local expertise.
- A streamlined posting calendar that ensured SparklePro was consistently top-of-mind with their audience.
- Commercialization: To turn social media followers into clients, Clicks & Conversions designed campaigns with strong, clear CTAs:
- Promotional offers: We created limited-time offers exclusive to social media followers, such as discounts on first-time services, which incentivized direct inquiries and service bookings.
- Booking buttons and forms: Each post and ad included direct links to SparklePro’s booking page or contact form, making it easy for potential clients to take action immediately.
- Lead generation ads: Targeted social media ads were created to reach SparklePro’s ideal clients—business owners, property managers, and office administrators in Austin. These ads included a compelling offer and direct path to conversion.
Step 3: Leveraging Paid Social Advertising
Clicks & Conversions launched a series of paid social media ads to amplify SparklePro’s reach. These ads targeted specific audiences within the commercial cleaning market, including:
- Retargeting ads for website visitors who hadn’t yet converted, keeping SparklePro top-of-mind.
- Lookalike audience ads targeting similar business owners and decision-makers, expanding SparklePro’s reach to new potential clients.
