Fix these first
Agree with every client what may be photographed, and keep every client site, camera view, patrol route, alarm panel and shift time out of your posts.
Set up a WhatsApp Business number with a greeting that asks what needs protecting, where and from when, and tells people never to send alarm codes or key details by message.
Put the faces and first names of your team on your pages, in uniform, with a line on how staff are trained that says only what is true.

Week 1
The kit check before a shift
Before every shift, [name] checks the kit: radio, torch, notebook and uniform. A guard who starts ready is one less thing for a client to worry about. Property managers, message us to talk about cover for your building.
Is your key holder list up to date?
When an alarm sounds, the first questions are who holds the keys and who to call. Take two minutes to check your key holder list is current, and message us if you would like help with yours.
Send your area for a survey
Thinking about CCTV or an alarm? We never need alarm codes or key details by message, so please do not send them. Send us your area and a line on what you want to protect, and we will reply with a time for a survey.
Week 2
What a mobile patrol visit includes
A patrol visit in four steps: arrive, check doors, gates and lights, look for signs of forced entry, then record the visit for the client. Facilities managers, message us to ask how a patrol could cover your site.
Camera positions planned on paper
Before we drill anything, we walk the property with you and mark each camera position and what it will cover. Cameras that are planned first are easier to live with. Message us to book a survey of your home or shop.
The report after every visit
After every patrol or alarm response the client gets a written report: what was checked, what was found and what we did. If you cannot see what your security does at night, ask for the report. Message us to see what ours looks like.
Week 3
The queue at the door
The queue at the door is where an event makes its first impression. Clear signs, enough staff on the entrance and a calm greeting keep it moving. Organisers and venue managers, message us to talk about your next event.
A five-minute home check
A quick check for tonight: do your outside lights come on, are the gate and side door secure and can you hear your alarm from upstairs? If anything worries you, message us and we can talk it over.
Survey slots open
CCTV and alarm surveys: we have [number] slots open from [date] in [area]. Reply here with your address and what you want covered, or call [phone] to book.
Week 4
A guard's first week on a new site
On a new contract, a guard's first week is spent learning the building: entrances, panels, who is who and what to report. We do that before we call it a start. Property managers, message us about moving to new cover.
Meet the voice on the alarm line
Meet [name], who answers the phone when an alarm sounds out of hours. Knowing a real person will pick up matters at two in the morning. Message us or call [phone] to ask how our alarm response works.
Send your event date
Planning an event? Send us the date, the type of venue and the guests you expect, and we will reply with how we would staff it and a quote. Reply here or call [phone].
Words in [square brackets] are for you to fill in, like a price or an offer.

The numbers to watch
Enquiries by service
Note whether each new message asked about guards, patrols, events, alarms or CCTV, and count them each week.
Surveys booked from messages
Count the messages that lead to a survey visit and the surveys that lead to a written quote.
Contracts traced to social media
At every signing, ask how the client first found you and record any social media answers.
Evening and weekend reply time
Check how long messages sent out of hours wait for an answer, and set a WhatsApp away message that says when you will reply.

Each month, tally the managers, agents and venues that connected with you or answered on LinkedIn.
