Facebook & Instagram ads

4.9/5star rating on Google

Get in front of local people before they search.

Meta ads that stop the scroll and fill your calendar. Strong offers, ads made from your own photos and video, and tracking that shows what each lead costs.

A quick PSA about Facebook ads

Boosting posts isn't advertising.

Updated November 2026 · 3 minute read

Dear business owner,

Google catches people already looking. Facebook and Instagram reach the people who need you but haven't started looking yet, and the ones who visited your site and left.

Done well, it's one of the cheapest ways to fill a calendar. Done badly, it's likes from your mum and a few strangers overseas.

Why most Meta ads flop

  • They boost a post with no clear offer, so there's no reason to act.
  • They target "everyone 25 to 65" and hope.
  • There's no Pixel or Conversions API, so Meta can't learn who actually enquires.

People don't scroll Instagram looking for a plumber. You need an offer worth stopping for.

How we run Facebook and Instagram ads

  • Offer first: we shape an offer and a hook that make local people stop and act.
  • Your real work: ads designed from your photos and video, so they look like you.
  • Right people: local, lookalike and retargeting audiences, tested against each other.
  • Proper tracking: Meta Pixel and Conversions API set up, so the algorithm finds more people like your best leads.
  • Weekly testing: new creative every week, with budget moved to what's working.

What it costs

$1,997 a month, plus a once-off $997 setup fee. So your first month is $2,994, then $1,997 a month after that.

Month to month, no lock-in. And if you don't think we're delivering results, our 30-day money-back guarantee gets you a refund. Only ad spend is excluded.

FAQ

Straight answers before you book a call

How much does it cost?

$1,997 a month, plus a once-off $997 setup fee, so your first month is $2,994. Ad spend (if your plan includes ads) is separate and paid straight to Google or Meta.

Do I need professional photos or video?

No. Clear phone photos and short videos of real work often beat stock images. We'll tell you exactly what to shoot.

Facebook or Google: which is better?

They do different jobs. Google catches people searching now, Meta creates demand and brings people back. Many clients run both, and we'll recommend a split on the call.

What if it doesn't work?

We work month to month, with no lock-in. And if you don't think we're delivering results, our 30-day money-back guarantee gets you a refund. Only ad spend is excluded.
