Your first ten
customers come
through people,
not posts.
When you've just started out, you have no references, no reviews and no one following you. Makiro turns one conversation into your launch plan: who to reach out to, which partners to visit, and when posting starts to pay off.
First month free. Then €69.00 a month plus VAT — cancel monthly.
Daily overview · Week 1
Your launch plan
2 of 5 done
- Set up your Google profile with your own photos
- Write down 50 names from your network
- Message the first ten personally: “Recommend me”
- Visit Brandt Tiling — partner 1 of 5
- Put photos, a review and a mention into your first quote
01 · The start
At the start, content has nothing to say.
The usual marketing advice assumes what you don't have yet: customers, photos of finished jobs, reviews. That's why posting fizzles out in the first weeks — not because you're doing it wrong.
No material
Without jobs there's no before and after, and nothing that convinces strangers.
No reach
Nobody follows a new profile. Almost no one sees the first 30 posts.
Trust comes through people
Your first job comes from someone who knows you — or from someone you were recommended to.
02 · The cold start
Four steps, in this order.
Day 1
The foundation
A profile where your customers look: your Google profile with your own photos for local work, LinkedIn for instance for B2B without a local area. Plus a page that says in five seconds what you do and for whom, and one way to reach you with a fixed response time. Done in a day.
Week 1
Your network
Message 50 people who know you, one by one. Not “buy from me” but “recommend me”. Your first jobs often come from this round.
Week 2
Five partners
Visit businesses that already have your customers and don't offer what you do. One partner with 200 customers a year brings more than any profile in your first year.
From the first job
Secure references
Into each of your first quotes: photos from start to handover, a review or recommendation where people find you, and permission to name the job. Then you tell the story of your start instead of claiming experience.
03 · With Makiro
You talk. Makiro plans along.
Makiro recognises in the conversation that you're just starting out and builds your strategy around that — not around a business with ten years of customers.
A conversation, not forms
You tell Makiro what you do, for whom and how much time you have. That becomes your strategy, with first steps that fit into one week.
Steps as tasks
Your first steps sit in your daily overview, ready to tick off. Whatever doesn't fit, you change in the chat with Makiro.
Drafts for your messages
When a task says who to write to, the draft is already waiting. You check it and send it.
Posting once there's something to show
Your content plan starts with your first job: one post a week, with the text written. Until then, your time goes into visits.
And once things are running, Makiro sorts your inbox, drafts replies to enquiries and writes quotes from your own templates. Everything Makiro does
04 · Leave out
What can wait for the first six months.
Founders have the least time and get the most advice. Without customers, these five things don't pay off yet.
- Paid ads — without reviews you pay for clicks on an empty profile.
- A second social media channel before the first one is running.
- A newsletter tool — your contact list starts as a spreadsheet, the tool comes at 50 addresses.
- Polishing the logo and relaunching the website. Clarity before beauty.
- Trade fairs outside your area.
