The short answer

Google finds people who are already looking. Facebook and Instagram adverts reach people who are not looking yet, chosen by where they live and what they are interested in. That makes them useful for a new business, a seasonal offer, or a service people do not think to search for.

The publisher of this guide, Dean Keating, runs Facebook and Instagram advertising from Horndean. Call or message Dean.

When Facebook ads work for a local business

They tend to work when the offer is clear, the area is tight and someone answers enquiries quickly. A simple advert shown to people within a few miles of Waterlooville, with one thing to do next, usually beats anything clever.

They tend to disappoint when there is no clear offer, when enquiries sit unanswered for a day, or when the advert sends people to a page that does not match it.

What you need before you start

Somewhere to send people. A page that matches the advert, or a WhatsApp or Messenger conversation.

A fast reply. Many enquiries arrive in the evening. Decide who answers them.

Tracking. A way to know which advert produced which enquiry, so you can stop paying for the ones that do not work.

A budget you can afford to test with. The advertising spend goes to Meta. A provider's fee, if you use one, is separate.

Questions to ask whoever runs your ads

Is the ad account in my name, so I keep it and its data? What is your fee, and what is the advertising spend on top? How will I see what each enquiry cost? Is there a contract?

Ads are not the first step

Before paying for adverts, sort out the free things: your Google Business Profile, your reviews and your free Waterlooville.co page. See digital marketing for Waterlooville businesses for the order to do things in.

Frequently asked questions

Do Facebook ads work for local businesses?
They can, when the offer is clear, the targeting is tight to your area and enquiries are answered quickly. They work less well without a clear offer or a fast reply.
Who runs Facebook ads near Waterlooville?
Dean Keating, the Horndean-based publisher of Waterlooville.co, runs Facebook and Instagram advertising for businesses. Call or WhatsApp 07418 627304.
How much do Facebook ads cost?
You set the advertising spend yourself and it is paid to Meta. If someone runs the adverts for you, their fee is separate. Ask for both figures before you start.
Should I use Google or Facebook ads?
Google reaches people already searching for your service. Facebook and Instagram reach people who are not searching yet. Many local firms start with their free Google Business Profile before paying for either.
Should the ad account be in my name?
Yes. If the account belongs to you, you keep its history and data if you change provider.
