Search ads catch people already looking. Meta ads have to earn attention from people who weren’t looking for you at all, which means the targeting, creative, and offer all have to work together or the budget just disappears into impressions nobody remembers.
I build and manage Facebook and Instagram ad campaigns for local service businesses and e-commerce brands, structured around actual buying intent instead of broad reach. The goal isn’t likes or follows. It’s qualified leads and sales that justify the spend.
Whether you’re looking to grow or you simply have questions, we’re happy to help.
Local businesses, e-commerce stores, SaaS companies, and agencies across every major market.
Before any ad runs, I look at who you're actually trying to reach and whether the offer gives them a clear reason to act. Weak targeting and a weak offer both kill performance, and most accounts have one or the other.
Meta Pixel and Conversions API get installed and verified before launch. Without server-side tracking, iOS privacy changes mean you're flying blind on which ads are actually driving results.
Campaigns get structured by objective and audience, with creative built around what each platform's users actually respond to. Facebook and Instagram audiences don't always behave the same way, so the approach isn't copy-pasted between them.
Early budget goes toward testing multiple audiences and creative angles to see what actually converts. This phase is treated as data collection, not a verdict on whether Meta ads work for your business.
Once winning combinations are clear, budget shifts toward what's converting. Underperforming ads get cut, creative gets refreshed before it fatigues, and you get monthly reports that show cost per lead and actual return, not just reach and engagement.
Meta ads work best as part of a bigger picture, not in isolation. Because Local SEO and Google Ads are also my core specialties, I understand where paid social should fill a gap that search can't, like building awareness before someone starts searching, retargeting people who've already visited your site, or supporting a launch that organic and search alone can't move fast enough on. That context shapes smarter campaigns than an agency running Meta ads with no visibility into the rest of your marketing.

Book a Free Discovery CallYes, particularly for building awareness, retargeting website visitors, and promoting specific offers or seasonal services. They tend to work best alongside Google Ads and Local SEO rather than as a replacement, since Meta reaches people before they’re actively searching.
This depends on your industry and how competitive your audience is to reach, but most local businesses can run a meaningful test with a modest daily budget. On the discovery call, I’ll give you a realistic number based on your specific market.
This is exactly why Conversions API setup is included from the start. Server-side tracking recovers a significant portion of the conversion data that pixel-only tracking now misses, giving you a much more accurate picture of what’s actually working.
Boosting a post uses Facebook’s simplified promotion tool with limited targeting and objective options. Proper campaign management uses Ads Manager directly, with structured audiences, specific conversion objectives, and testing, which consistently outperforms boosted posts for actual lead generation.
If your customers are actively searching for what you offer, Google Ads usually gets faster results. Meta Ads work well for building awareness, retargeting, and reaching people before they start searching. Running both together, once budget allows, typically produces the strongest overall result.
