¶ What you walk away with

Outcomes, not deliverables.

out.01

Reels built to book

Native vertical creative engineered around the offer your buyers actually call about — not vanity views.

out.02

Server-side tracking

Conversion events fired server-side so Meta optimizes against real booked calls, not a fragile browser pixel.

out.03

Local audience architecture

Lookalikes, retargeting and prospecting tightly geo-fenced to your service area — zero wasted spend out of market.

out.04

Weekly creative testing

Hooks tested first, offers second. 12 fresh Reels per week so winning ads compound, not burn out.

out.05

Lead form + landing page split

Instant Forms for volume, dedicated landing pages for qualified pipeline — leads routed straight into your CRM.

out.06

Revenue attribution

Meta wired into your CRM so you see which campaigns book jobs and produce revenue — not which earn impressions.

Why Meta is still the best place to spend $1 to book a service-business job.

Meta is where service businesses reach buyers before they're actively searching. Done right, it fills the top of your pipeline with cheap, qualified leads that your CRM nurtures into booked calls. Done wrong, it's a budget drain on impressions you can't tie to revenue. We only run it the first way.

The shift that separates winners from losers is creative. Static image ads are dead. Native vertical Reels — short, sound-on, hook-led — are how local buyers actually use the platform. We ship 8–12 fresh Reels per week, every concept mapped to a buyer-stage hypothesis and a specific call-to-action your sales team can close.

The second shift is tracking. Server-side conversion events feed Meta the booked-call and revenue signals that train the algorithm. We deduplicate events properly and pipe CRM data back so Meta optimizes against real pipeline — not a pixel firing on a thank-you page. Cost per booked call drops within two to three weeks of clean signal.

The third shift is the funnel. Instant Forms collect high-volume leads for the top of your pipeline. Dedicated landing pages handle bottom-funnel intent where qualification and immediate booking matter. Both paths feed your CRM, both get nurtured automatically, and both report back to your revenue dashboard so you scale what closes.

¶ FAQ

Honest answers.

  • Do you produce the Reels yourselves?

    Yes. In-house editors, motion designers and UGC creator partnerships. We can also work with your in-house team or existing creators — whichever ships the most fresh creative per week.

  • What does a realistic cost per booked call look like?

    Service businesses typically settle between $40 and $150 per booked call depending on geography, offer and competition. We benchmark against your existing numbers in week one and target a measurable drop, not a vanity metric.

  • Facebook or Instagram?

    Both — Meta is one auction. We allocate placement (Reels, Stories, Feed) to where each piece of creative actually performs against booked-call cost. No blanket placements.

  • How does iOS tracking affect this?

    It broke browser-pixel tracking, which is why we lead with server-side events and CRM-side attribution. Combined with offline conversion uploads from your CRM, Meta sees the full booked-call picture again.

  • Will this work for my service area?

    Yes — every campaign is geo-fenced tightly to your real service area so you don't pay for impressions outside your market. If you only serve one metro, that's the only place we run.
