Your ad budget is separate

You pay Meta directly for ad spend. It is never part of a STANDBY fee.

Management has a three-month minimum because ads need time to produce enough data to judge and improve.

Search vs. social

Use each channel for its job.

Google catches people already looking

When someone searches for what you do, local SEO helps you show up.

Meta reaches people who aren't looking yet

Facebook and Instagram put your offer in front of the right local people, test messages, and collect interest through lead forms or a landing page.
