Mastering Facebook Groups
Finding the Right Groups
🎯 Target Group Types for Advanced Home Pros
- Neighborhood groups: "[Your City] neighbors," "local community"
- Home improvement groups: Perfect for security discussions
- Parent groups: Safety is always a top concern
- Real estate groups: New homeowners need security
- Local business networking: Professional relationships
- Buy/sell/trade groups: Use sparingly and appropriately
Group Research Process
🔍 Before Joining Any Group
Search for groups using keywords like "[Your City] neighbors," "local community"
Check group size (1,000-10,000 members is often ideal)
Review group rules carefully before posting anything
Observe posting patterns and engagement levels for a few days
Request to join thoughtfully with a genuine introduction
The 5:1 Engagement Rule
For every business-related comment you make, contribute to 5 non-business conversations first. This builds your reputation as a helpful community member, not just a salesperson.
