INNOVATION SPOTLIGHT: DRONES & ROBOTICS ARE REDEFINING THE JOBSITE

While many in the industry are still focused on manpower, the most forward-looking service businesses are investing in machine-assisted operations — and it’s not science fiction anymore.

Drones Are Already in Play

According to Lucid Bots, aerial drone systems like their Sherpa and Lavo Bot are helping contractors:

Clean building facades and roofs safely from the ground
Conduct inspections in minutes without scaffolding or fall risks
Capture real-time imagery for documentation, project bids, and proactive maintenance
Reduce labor and liability costs significantly (Lucid reports up to 80% savings vs traditional methods)

This isn’t a gimmick — it’s a real, profitable shift that’s already improving operations for large facilities, schools, and multi-story structures.

“Companies leveraging drones are seeing a 400% ROI due to speed, safety, and data capture efficiencies.” — Lucid Bots

MARKETING FIELD STRATEGY:CREATING CONTENT THAT BUILDS TRUST

In this industry, people hire who they see, and who they trust.

That starts long before the quote.

Here’s how to easily make your content work for you:

Show the job. One clean photo from the field each day builds recognition.
Teach what you know. Even a 3-line caption on surface prep or rust removal sets you apart.
Be searchable. Be found. Geo-tagged posts and service-focused captions attract real leads.
Stay consistent. When your trucks, equipment, gear, and online presence align — your brand earns trust without saying a word.
