Burst pipe at six in the morning? Somebody actually picks up. Same day emergency plumbing across Irvine, licensed and insured, and you approve the job before we start.

Service
Facebook and Instagram ads that fill the calendar.
Search catches demand that already exists. Facebook and Instagram create it, which is how you fill a new service line or a slow season. The lever is creative, not the audience settings everyone argues about.
No obligation. We will review your last 90 days of creative first.
Feed ad
How the offer lands between two friends’ posts.
Fictional advertiser. Feed chrome drawn generically, no platform logo reproduced. Illustrative only.
What is included
Six things, every month.
The accounts that fail are not badly targeted. They are running the same three images they launched with.
The offer, before the targeting
Nobody scrolling is looking for a plumber. The offer has to be worth stopping for, and that is a positioning job rather than an ad settings job.
- Offer and guarantee pressure-tested against your margin
- A reason to act now that is not a fake countdown
- Facebook and instagram ads for small business, offer first
New creative every two weeks
Fatigue is the whole game on this channel. We ship new angles on a schedule and kill the ones that stop working without waiting for permission.
- A fresh set of statics and short video every two weeks
- Angles tested against each other, one variable at a time
- Filmed from your own jobs where we can, not from a stock library
Targeting kept simple
Broad targeting inside a real service radius beats an interest stack in almost every local account we have taken over. We let the creative do the sorting.
- Radius drawn to drive time, not to a metro boundary
- Customer lists and lookalikes where the data is good enough
- No audience so narrow the delivery never leaves learning
Retargeting with an off switch
Following someone for 90 days after they bought is how a good brand becomes annoying. Exclusions matter as much as inclusions.
- Buyers and booked jobs excluded automatically
- Sequenced messaging rather than the same ad on repeat
- Frequency capped, and watched
Lead forms wired to your CRM
An instant form lead that sits in an inbox for a day is worth almost nothing. Speed to lead decides whether this channel pays.
- Leads pushed to your CRM the second they submit
- Instant reply by text, then a call task for a human
- Qualifying questions that filter without killing volume
Honest measurement
Platform reported results and your bank account rarely agree. We report both and explain the gap rather than picking the flattering one.
- Conversions API and pixel both running, deduplicated
- Booked jobs matched back from your CRM, not just form fills
- A plain reading of what paid social can and cannot be credited for
The process
What the first 90 days look like.
Creative production sets the pace here, so the calendar is built around shoots.
Offer and angles
We settle the offer, list ten angles worth testing, and set up tracking. Nothing launches on a hunch about which one will win.
First creative set
Six to nine pieces built from your footage and ours. Launched together so the platform has something real to choose between.
Find the winner
Cut what is not working, put budget behind what is, and build the next set from what the winner tells us about your buyer.
Retarget and compound
Warm audiences come online, exclusions go in, and the reporting shifts from cost per lead to cost per booked job.
Proof
Paid social that paid for itself.
Two long-running accounts Matt ran personally, both local, both anonymized at the client's level of comfort.
Past seven figures a year on Facebook and Instagram ads
A local dental practice with more than one location. Matt built the offer, wrote and shot the creative, and ran the Facebook and Instagram accounts himself for years.
Paid social carried the new patient volume and search held the ground between campaigns.
The practice went past seven figures a year on that work, and ClickFunnels gave Matt the Two Comma Club award for it in 2019.

MultiLocations run from one ad account
Anonymized client, multi-year engagement on Facebook and Instagram ads. Past results are not a promise of future results.
Three locations, one ad account, year over year growth
A family restaurant group with three neighboring locations, run on local search and paid social together.
The interesting part was the creative: photographs of the actual food and the actual family beat every designed graphic we tried, and it was not close.
3Locations served from one account
2Channels run together, local search and paid social

Anonymized client. Figures stay qualitative where we do not hold the export.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
Do you run Facebook and Instagram ads for local businesses, or only for e-commerce?
Local, almost entirely. Service businesses, practices, and trades inside a real drive radius. National e-commerce is a different discipline with different economics and we send those enquiries elsewhere rather than learn on your budget.
Who makes the creative?
We do, from a mix of your footage and ours.
The best performing local creative is almost always something real from a job site rather than something designed, so a large part of onboarding is getting a repeatable way for your crew to send us clips from their phones.
Why do the platform numbers not match my sales?
Because attribution windows overlap, some buyers call instead of clicking, and privacy changes broke a lot of the tracking chain.
We run the Conversions API alongside the pixel to close some of that gap, and then we reconcile against your CRM.
Paid social is usually credited less than it deserves and more than it earns, on different weeks.
Is boosting posts the same thing?
No. Boosting optimizes for engagement, which buys you likes from people who will never call. A campaign built for leads optimizes for the action you actually want.
Plenty of owners have spent a year boosting and concluded the channel does not work for them, when what did not work was the objective.
When would you tell me to skip paid social?
When your service is purely emergency demand, because nobody scrolling has a burst pipe right now and search will serve you better.
Also when nobody can respond to a lead inside an hour, and when your offer is identical to four competitors. Interruption only works if there is something worth interrupting for.
