Look, if you repair computers, laptops, clean them from dust, install Windows - you definitely have a job. Because equipment breaks down all the time. But every year it becomes more difficult to find new clients. There are plenty of competitors, and everyone offers something. Therefore, it is important not only to be a good master, but also to correctly tell about yourself on the Internet.
Here are some ideas on how to do it simply. Without complicated deadlines and large budgets. Real advice that works.
1. People search on Google - help them find you
Usually people just write something like "laptop repair Kyiv" or "computer freeze help". And if your site is in the first results - congratulations, the chance of getting an order is very high.
What to do:
-
Write on the site in simple words what you do: "Repair computers at home", "Clean laptops from dust", "Install Windows without unnecessary programs".
-
Add a photo of your work, yourself, your workplace, so that it is clear that you are a real person.
-
Make the site convenient for the phone. Because most people search from a mobile phone.
-
And also: add a Google map so that you can be found locally.
SEO is not magic. Just be honest, clear and helpful on your site.
2. Contextual advertising is like "slipping it in at the right time"
Imagine a person searching for computer repair in Pozniaky, and your ad appears at the top of the Google page. She clicks and gets to you right away. It works. Great.
What you need:
-
Create an account in Google Ads (it's not difficult).
-
Choose a few specific phrases that people are searching for you by.
-
Write an ad without "water": "Computer repair. I'll come home. From 350 UAH".
-
Set a daily limit, say 100 UAH. This is enough to protest.
Don't forget to specify the city or region. Because people usually look for someone who is close.
3. Social networks – show who you are
Start a Facebook or Instagram page (or better yet, both). It's free. And it's easier for people to trust repairs to someone they see in a photo or video.
What can be taught:
-
Photos "before and after" repair.
-
Video of you disassembling a laptop or cleaning a cooler.
-
Customer reviews (you can just use a screenshot from Viber or Telegram).
-
Sometimes - funny memes or advice. For example: "How to understand that your laptop is overheating."
You don't need to post something every day. 2-3 posts a week are enough. The main thing is to be "alive".
4. Advertisement on local websites
There are a bunch of free sites where you can post your services. People are actually looking for professionals there.
Platforms:
-
OLX – a lot of people come here.
-
Kabanchik.ua – here they look for performers directly for services.
-
Facebook groups of your area – look for names like "Poznyaki | Obolon | Kharkiv | Repair/Services".
Advice: don't forget to write in human language. Not "I provide software maintenance service", but "I'll quickly set up Windows, install drivers, clean your laptop".
5. Reviews are gold
Ask each customer to leave a short review. It can be a Google map, Facebook, or just a message that you close.
Real reviews are stronger than any advertising. People trust people.
6. Email or Viber mailing list – for those who have already been
If you've ever repaired someone's computer, write down their email or number (with permission, of course). And in 3-6 months you can send them something like:
"Hi! I once repaired your laptop. Let me remind you that equipment needs to be cleaned from time to time. If necessary, I can come and do it at a discount."
This is an easy way to get your customers back.
7. Video is another great way
Even if you are not a blogger, you can make a short video:
-
How do you clean your laptop
-
What to do if your computer won't turn on
-
How to choose an SSD
No editing required. Just hold the phone and talk. It's human.
You can post these videos on TikTok, YouTube Shorts or Instagram Reels.
8. A simple website is better than nothing
Even if you work alone and without an office, you need a website.
-
Who are you
-
What exactly do you do
-
How to contact
-
Photos of your work
A website is your business card. You can throw it at clients in Viber, add it to a Google map, or insert it into an ad.
9. Table for example: how much you can earn from advertising
| What did they think? | How much did it turn out to be? |
| People visited the site | 1000 |
| Submitted a request | 180 (18%) |
| Became clients | 90 (50% from applications) |
| Average earnings per person | 2200 UAH |
| Total earnings | 198 000 UAH |
| Advertising expenses | 12 000 UAH |
| Net profit | 186 000 UAH |
This is a hypothetical example, but as you can see, advertising can bring in a very good income.
10. In conclusion: what works in 2025?
In 2025, no one wants to read dry websites or see soulless ads. Simplicity, sincerity, and specificity work.
-
Show that you are real.
-
Write as you speak.
-
Give people benefit.
-
Don't promise "mountains of gold" - better say honestly: "I'll see, I'll tell you what can be done with this."
Conclusion
Internet advertising is not scary. You don’t have to be a marketer. Just take a few simple steps:
-
Create a website or at least a page on social networks
-
Add yourself to Google Maps
-
Set up a simple ad on Google or Facebook
-
Make a video - even on your phone
-
Always remain human
And then people themselves will be drawn to you. Because in a world where there is a lot of fake, real people are very valuable.
