Here's where things get interesting...

When we interviewed a handful of successful lawn care services on the GreenPal platform we noticed they had done the same thing.

They connected their Facebook business page to their GreenPal storefront.

Think about it...

Facebook is used by 2 billion people and what's more people are using it to find local lawn mowing services, especially when they are new to town.

The best part… Facebook gives you a "Book Now" button on your business page which you can connect to your GreenPal store.

Now what's the point?

Because this one of the most effective ways to drive new clients to your GreenPal account for free.

Remember… when someone signs up at your page they get connected with ONLY YOU and no one else on the GreenPal platform. So think about it as little customer generation machone working for 24 hours a day for free.

There is a simple two-step process... So It's a no brainer.

    So… Step 1 – set up your free Facebook business page

    (if you already have a business page then go to Step 2, keep in mind
    you'll need a business page in addition to your personal profile)

    First, log into FB with a laptop or desktop computer and then go to: https://www.facebook.com/pages/create

    Heads up... You'll need to be logged in first to your personal profile because that's how you'll manage your business page.

    Then select "Local Business":
