Google post ideas for gutter companies: November to January

Late fall is the busiest time of year for gutters, because the last leaves come down right before winter. After that, the focus shifts to ice at the roof edge in the North and heavy rain in the South and Northwest. Your posts can help homeowners spot problems from the ground and know when to call.

How to use this list

Pick one idea a week and rotate the kinds of post: a seasonal tip, a service spotlight, a local post, a customer question, and a real offer only when you have one. Don't run the same kind two weeks in a row.
Only mention services you actually offer and facts you can point to on your own website. No made-up prices, discounts or promises.
Put the point in the first sentence. Name your service and your town once, naturally.
Use one of your own job photos when one fits. Never use a stock photo that pretends to be your work.
Use the Call now or Book button for the next step. Google's posts policy says posts with contact details it can't verify, including phone numbers, may be removed (Google's posts content policy).

November

The last leaves come down, so clear gutters and downspouts before winter.

Why late fall is the time for gutter cleaning
Cleaning after most leaves have fallen means the gutters are clear going into winter instead of filling up again a week later.
Include: A photo of a full gutter you cleaned, the service name plus your town, and the Book or Call button.
What a gutter cleaning visit includes
Spell out what your crew does, such as clearing the troughs, flushing the downspouts and taking a quick look for loose or leaking spots.
Include: Only the steps you actually do, a before-and-after photo, and your service area.
Do gutter guards mean no cleaning ever?
Give a plain answer: guards cut down on clogs, but some debris still builds up, so a check now and then still helps.
Include: Post this only if you install or service guards, with a photo of guards on a home you worked on.
Tree-lined streets and clogged downspouts in your town
Homes under big trees in your town fill their gutters fast in fall, and a clogged downspout can back up the whole run.
Include: Your town name, a photo of a downspout you cleared, and the Call button.
Signs your gutters are full, seen from the ground
Owners can spot trouble without a ladder: water spilling over in rain, plants growing out of the gutter, or a section that sags.
Include: A short list of ground-level signs, a clear note not to climb, and your booking link.
Before Thanksgiving: keep the front steps dry
An overflowing gutter over the entry drips on guests and, in cold areas, can leave icy patches on steps and walkways.
Include: A photo of a clean gutter over a front entry and your holiday hours only if you have set them.
Pine needles and seed pods clog gutters too
It is not only fall leaves: needles, seed pods and small twigs pack into gutters and downspouts in their own seasons.
Include: A photo of needle or pod debris from a real job and the service name plus your town.

December

Ice, heavy rain, and the repairs that come with them.

Clogged gutters and ice at the roof edge
When gutters are packed, melting snow has nowhere to go and can add to ice buildup along the roof edge.
Include: Use this in cold-winter areas, with a photo of clear gutters before a freeze and the Call button.
Gutter repair: sagging, leaking seams, pulling away
Show the common problems your crew fixes, like loose hangers, dripping seams and gutters pulling away from the fascia board.
Include: Post this only if you do repairs, with a repair photo and your service area.
Why does water spill over my gutters?
Explain the usual causes in plain words: a clog, gutters that do not slope right toward the downspout, or gutters too small for the roof.
Include: An offer to take a look and the Book or Call button.
Where does your downspout water go?
Water dumped right next to the house can pool near the foundation, so check from the yard that downspouts empty away from the house.
Include: A photo of a downspout extension or splash block you installed, and mention installs only if you do them.
Winter ladders are risky: leave it to a crew
Wet, icy or frosty ground and gutters make ladder work more dangerous, so homeowners should call a crew instead of climbing.
Include: A calm safety message, a photo of your crew working, and mention insurance only if you have it.
Heavy winter rain and overflowing gutters
Where winter brings rain instead of snow, a long storm shows right away whether gutters and downspouts are keeping up.
Include: Use this in warm-winter or rainy areas, with your town name and a photo of a gutter handling runoff.

January

Check for winter damage and book spring cleaning early.

After a storm: check your gutters from the yard
Wind, ice and fallen branches can bend gutters or knock downspouts loose, and most of it can be seen from the ground.
Include: Signs to look for from the yard, a damage photo from a real job, and the Call button.
Put spring gutter cleaning on the calendar
Spring brings blossoms, seeds and rain, so owners who book in January can have it handled without thinking about it later.
Include: Your town name, your booking method, and a real offer only if you actually run one.
Seamless gutters: what they are and why people choose them
Explain that seamless gutters are formed in long pieces on site, so there are fewer joints that can leak.
Include: Post this only if you install seamless gutters, with an install photo and the service name plus your town.
How often should gutters be cleaned?
It depends mostly on the trees around the house, so homes under big trees often need it more than once a year.
Include: How you set a cleaning schedule for customers, and the Book button.
Stains and soft wood behind the gutters
Water that overflows for a long time can stain siding and soak the fascia board behind the gutter, which a crew can check.
Include: Mention fascia repair only if you do it, plus a photo of stained or damaged trim you found on a job.
New to your home? Learn your gutter system
New owners often do not know where their downspouts drain or whether they tie into underground pipes, and a quick walkaround helps.
Include: Your service area, an offer of a gutter check only if you provide one, and the Call button.

Where you are changes the list

Cold-winter areas

Push late-fall cleaning before the first hard freeze, then talk about ice at the roof edge and snow melt in December and January. Remind owners not to chip ice out of gutters or climb icy ladders.

Warm-winter areas

Across the South, Gulf Coast, Florida, the Southwest and coastal California, snow is not the issue, but heavy rain and storms are. Some trees drop leaves, needles or pods at other times of year, so cleaning can be a year-round topic.

Pacific Northwest

The long rainy season means gutters and downspouts work hard all winter. Needles and moss can build up, so posts about mid-winter checks and clear downspouts fit well here.

Questions customers ask this time of year

Can you clean gutters in the winter?: Yes, on many winter days. We avoid days with ice, snow on the roof or high wind, and pick a safe day instead. If your gutters are overflowing now, call and we will find a good window.
Why are my gutters leaking at the corners?: Corners and seams are where pieces join, and the sealant there can wear out with age and weather. A gutter can also leak if it has pulled loose or is holding water. A quick look usually shows whether it needs resealing or a bigger fix.

Ideas only: every real post should use your own services, town and details. Written by FreshMap, 2026-10-17.
