Utilize Facebook for brand awareness, retargeting, and building brand equity in your community, rather than solely for high-intent leads.

✦

Prioritize Google Ads for capturing high-intent clients actively searching for your services, ensuring direct and specific messaging.

Implement AB testing for your ads and landing pages, and rapidly respond to leads (ideally within 60-120 seconds) to significantly increase conversion rates.

✦

Allocate a larger portion (60-70%) of your advertising budget to Google Ads, as it generally attracts higher-intent buyers.

Ensure accurate geographic targeting for all ad campaigns to avoid wasting budget on non-serviceable areas or irrelevant audiences.
