Can you promote in r/generalcontractor?
Discussion group for all things related to being a general contractor
The short answer
Do not promote your product or company; instead participate as a peer contractor giving neutral, non-commercial advice without links or solicitations.
What works here
- general contractor discussion and advice
- participation as a current or future GC (not an owner)
What gets posts removed
- any advertising, links to sites, or attempts to sell
- asking for feedback on software or business
- posts by owners seeking project advice or offering services
