Social media marketing in Mayo, where reach is cheap and relevance is the work.
Mayo is one of the cheapest places in Ireland to reach people and one of the easiest to waste money in, for the same reason: the population is spread across a very large area and most of it is not your market.
What works here is the opposite of scale. Tight audiences, real photographs, and content that a specific community recognises as belonging to it. Mayo's local pages are exceptionally well followed and genuinely read.
What managing your social actually involves
Small, precise audiences and content that looks like the place it comes from.
The content, written and posted for you
A steady schedule in your own voice, built from work in recognisable places.
Audiences by travel distance
Drawn around where you will actually go rather than around the county.
Diaspora and returning-household targeting
A genuine Mayo opportunity. People with roots here return, buy property and need services, and they are reachable from where they live.
Lead forms and click-to-message
Enquiries captured in-platform rather than lost on the way to a website.
Replies handled
Within the working day. In small communities responsiveness is part of your reputation.
The returning-household market
Mayo has an unusually strong connection with people who left and come back — for summers, for retirement, or to renovate a family property.
They are reachable from wherever they currently live, they are frequently spending on building and renovation, and almost nobody targets them deliberately. For trades in particular it is a real and under-used vein.
What you have to do
Send photographs, and tell us where each job was.
In Mayo the recognition matters more than the production quality. A finished job in a village people know does more than anything shot elsewhere and polished.
Mayo areas we target

What it costs
€1,500 a month for one advertising channel fully managed, all social run and every lead followed up. €2,500 adds the second channel and a new website. Month to month, no setup fee, and ad spend is paid by you directly to the platforms from your own account.
Straight answers.
It is spread out rather than small. Drawn tightly around your own catchment it is both sufficient and very cheap to reach.
To a useful degree — by location, connection and behaviour signals. For renovation and building trades in particular it is worth doing.
More than almost anywhere. We cannot post into them, and paid reaches the same people while you earn the recommendations honestly.
Probably not. Facebook carries the buying audience across Mayo comfortably.
Yes — editor access rather than ownership, removable any time.
No. We report enquiries and what each one cost.
