You might about Social Media Marketing may be thinking:
“We’re just a local taxi company. Do we really need social media?”
Yes — and here’s why.
1. People Book Where They Feel Confident
If your only presence is a website, you’re invisible to most people.
These days, many check Instagram or Facebook before booking anything — even a ride.
Example:
Two companies offer airport transfers. One has only a website.
The other? An active Instagram with photos, reviews, and stories.
Who do you think gets the booking?
2. Social Media Marketing Builds Trust & Visibility
When people regularly see your name, logo, and real photos in their feed, they remember you.
So when it’s time to get to the airport — they don’t Google “taxi.”
They message you directly.
3. It’s a Low-Cost Way to Grow Your Business
You don’t need a big budget.
You can post for free, run affordable local ads, and stay in front of your audience — all without spending thousands.
Social Media Marketing: Where to Start
You don’t need to be everywhere. Focus on 1–2 platforms where your customers actually are:
- Instagram — Great for photos, stories, and showing real routes
- Facebook — Ideal for local visibility, reviews, and announcements
- Google Business Profile — Not a social app, but essential for search
- (Optional) TikTok — If you’re up for short, fun videos
Pro tip: One good account is better than five ghost ones.
What to Post (Without Spending Hours)
You don’t need fancy equipment or complex plans.
Here’s what works — and builds trust:
- 🚗 Real photos of your cars and drivers
- 📍 Popular routes: airport, events, hotels
- 💬 Customer reviews (text or screenshots)
- 🔔 Promotions and seasonal offers
- 🕒 Booking reminders: “Reserve your ride early”
- 📹 Behind the scenes: dispatch, cleaning, team life

Watch what’s trending — music, formats, hashtags — and put your own spin on it.
