Facebook and Instagram ads for contractors

Meta is where homeowners spend their evenings, which makes it the cheapest place to get in front of the people whose driveway, roof or backyard you want to work on — provided the creative looks like the work.

Who this is for

  • Contractors and home service companies selling to homeowners
  • Companies with good work and nothing to show for it online
  • Owners tired of buying shared leads from a lead broker
  • Businesses that need booked estimates, not brand awareness
01The problem

Why most contractor ads get ignored

Scroll through Facebook in any service area and the contractor ads look the same: a stock photo, a logo, and a line about quality and integrity. Nobody stops for that, so the platform charges you more to show it to fewer people.

The ads that work are the ones that look like a real company did real work down the road. That is a production problem far more often than a budget problem.

The second failure is what happens after the click. A form that goes to an inbox nobody watches turns a working campaign into a folder of cold leads.

02How it works

How we run them

  1. 01

    Shoot first

    We film your crews, trucks and finished jobs before launch, so the campaign starts with creative nobody else can run.

  2. 02

    Target the service area

    Radius and neighbourhood targeting built around where you will actually drive, not a whole metro you cannot service.

  3. 03

    Offer that filters

    The wording is what separates a homeowner ready to book from someone killing time. We would rather have fewer, better conversations.

  4. 04

    Test and cut

    Several angles run at once. What produces gets more budget, what does not gets turned off — and we tell you which was which.

03Why us

What makes this different

Built by contractors. For contractors.

The creative is ours
Shot and edited in-house, so a new angle takes days rather than a vendor queue and a revision round.
Wired to follow-up
Leads land in a system that responds immediately, not an inbox. That is usually worth more than any targeting change.
Plain reporting
What it cost, what came in, and what is worth changing. Not a dashboard of impressions.
04Questions

Common questions

Do Facebook ads actually work for contractors?

For homeowner-facing trades, yes — it is usually the cheapest way to reach them. It works differently from search: you are interrupting someone rather than catching them mid-search, so the creative and the offer carry much more weight.

Do you manage the ads or just set them up?

We manage them. Launching is the easy part — the value is in watching what happens afterward and adjusting targeting, offer and creative on what the numbers say.

What about Google Ads?

Different job. Google catches people already searching, which is excellent for urgent trades, and usually costs more per click. If that is the better fit for your business we will say so on the call.
