Running successful Meta Ads very much comes down to the 80/20.
Your offer, creative, copy and messaging is 80% of the result.
How the ad account itself is structured is the other 20%.
While you are still testing angles on meta ads, send them to the instant form instead of building a landing page for every one.
You have not worked out what converts yet, so investing in a landing page is a gamble you should not take until the data backs up the decision.
Don't generate your service pages with AI.
Write about the actual job. The site visit, the specific fix, the thing that happened that only you would know.
That's the one part your competitors can't copy.
Getting reviews regularly matters more than getting a lot of them.
Fifty in one week then nothing for six months tells Google something's off.
Ask for one after every job instead.
Don't put a PO box or virtual address on your Google Business Profile.
Google scans for them constantly now and suspends the listing.
Get a real address, even if it's small. It's the difference between ranking and getting banned.
A business owner told me he doesn’t take appointments before 10am, after 4pm, or on Weekends.
And he wonders why they ended up booking with a competitor…
"If the lead doesn’t pick up then it’s a dead lead."
You have no idea what a lead is doing when you phone.
On holiday, on site and at a funeral all looks identical from your end.
Drop the ego and follow up everyday until you get a response.
Imagine business is a relay race:
Stage 1 - Get leads
Stage 2 - Book the appointment
Stage 3 - Make the sale
Stage 4 - After-purchase journey
Hiring an agency is like having Usain Bolt run stage 1.
If the rest is ran by 3 fat kids you won’t win the race.
A client of ours got five calls from Google last month.
Five calls turned into five bookings, he's been to two of them so far, and they were worth over 14 grand.
Volume was never the metric.
