Social media for the trades
MyTrendView plans and builds the posts for electricians, roofers, carpenters and other trades businesses: before-and-after Reels from your site photos, apprentice recruiting posts and a calendar that publishes to Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and YouTube. One location fits Creator at €23 a month, and you can start free without a card.
Free plan, no card. Your first 14 days include Creator Pack.
The work is already the content
A finished bathroom, a new roof, a rewired fuse box: a trades business produces something visible every day and rarely shows it. MyTrendView finds what is rising in your trade on TikTok, Instagram and YouTube, writes hook and script in your voice and builds the Reel or carousel from photos and clips you already took on site. Nobody has to stand in front of a camera, and nobody in the video is AI-generated.
“Same corner, before and after. Here is what was hiding behind the old tiles.”
What a trades business can post
Five formats carry most trades accounts, and all of them come out of a normal working day.
- Before and after: the same corner, the same angle, the result first.
- Process from the site: one step explained in under a minute, filmed on a phone between two jobs.
- Team faces: who will actually be standing at the customer’s door.
- Apprentice recruiting: what the first year looks like, told by the apprentice, for school leavers on TikTok and Instagram.
- Regional reach: the town or district named in hook and caption, because your customers live within driving distance.
Ask before you show a customer’s home
A photo of a finished job often shows more than the job: the house number, the street, a car plate, the people who live there. Get the customer’s consent before you post, keep addresses and plates out of frame, and post once the job is done rather than live from the driveway. Collect reviews on your Google Business Profile as well; MyTrendView does not manage it, and posts and reviews work best side by side.
What you actually get
Daily trends for your trade, scored for audience fit, purchase relevance, producibility, platform fit and velocity.
Reels and carousels built from your own site photos and clips, or from stock footage when you have none.
Hooks from real videos, each with a link to the original.
One calendar that publishes to Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, YouTube and LinkedIn.
3 local competitors watched on Creator.
A worked example
Before and after from one fixed angle
InstagramProducibility is the top score because the material already exists: two photos from the same spot, taken at the start and the end of the job. Purchase relevance is high because the viewer is often planning the same job at home. Velocity is the lowest score and it does not matter; the format has worked for years.

Questions people actually ask
What does MyTrendView cost a trades business?
Free costs nothing and needs no card: about 3 videos a month, 1 brand, 1 competitor, and every new account gets 14 days of Creator. Creator is €23 a month for about 30 videos, enough for one location posting several times a week.
How much time does it take per week?
The photos happen during the work you do anyway. What is left is picking topics from the trend list, adding the photos and checking the drafts, which fits into one sitting. Nobody can promise you a number of new jobs; what you get is a steady presence instead of silence.
Nobody on the team wants to be on camera. Does it still work?
Yes. Reels are built from photos and clips of the work with the message as text on screen, or from stock footage. No AI-generated people appear in them.
Can we show customers’ houses?
Only with the customer’s consent, and without address, house number or car plates in frame. This is general information, not legal advice.
