Social Media Marketing & Advertising for Services Businesses.

Make Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn work FOR YOU.

Stop boosting posts, start getting qualified traffic.

Facebook makes it effortless for services businesses to boost a post on Facebook or Instagram. Then Facebook reminds you endlessly how simple they’ve made it to give them your money. With Facebook shining such a bright light on boosted posts, it’s no wonder many businesses think boosting posts on Instagram and Facebook posts must be effective advertising for their services.

Why else would Facebook keep suggesting we boost, boost, boost? Because boosting posts on Facebook and Instagram is easy money for Facebook.

It’s also easy money for social media marketing agencies to pocket a “management” fee for throwing a few switches in your Ads Manager account. Unfortunately, every switch in your Facebook Ads Manager account is hardwired to your credit card. That’s how “cheap” traffic quickly becomes expensive when it doesn’t sell your services.

Maybe that’s why you’re here? Are you staring at a pile of credit card bills with not enough to show for them?

Making Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn work to earn your ad spend

Your ad budget is your money, and Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn should work hard to earn it. With the right social media advertising strategy and management, your services will be where they should be – top of mind with your audience.

You can be the business floating by on a river of qualified traffic while others scratch their heads and boost another post.

Social media advertising research

The greatest ad for your services will sink if it’s shown to the wrong people. That’s why we invest heavily in asking the right questions up front.

We work with you to understand who benefits from your services — what do they look like, what do they know, what do they need to know, how do they spend their time…
We use that information to look around every corner to see where that audience is to be found on Instagram, Facebook or LinkedIn

You won’t believe the unexpected places we can find the audience for your services, and how we draw them into your universe by matching the message to the place.

Social media advertising strategy for service businesses

We’ll combine your business and marketing strategy with our audience research to map the path your audience will follow into (and through) your sales pipeline.

That path will be mapped in a social media advertising strategy for your services that includes plans for specific campaigns.

We’ll talk about conversion assets like images, videos and text
We’ll talk about appearing in front of your audience for the first time
We’ll talk about staying in front of those people, encouraging the kind of familiarity that shows up in the profit column

Interpreting your social media advertising data

Your investment in social media guarantees data that marketers could only dream about not long ago.

When you know how to read that data, you can cut your cost of acquisition and even unlock ideas for new services.

The secret is concentrating on high-quality traffic because that’s the traffic that becomes “cheap” when you have the advanced campaign skills to turn it into sales.

Do you know:

Which website metric correlates best with future sales of your services?
How your “high-converting” campaigns could actually be costing you conversions

Holding your sales and marketing to account

When you’re grounded in the data, you can hold to account every step in your marketing and sales process.

Analysing the data

When you have someone who has the time and expertise to listen to the numbers, you can maximise your return on the data that comes with your investment in social media advertising.

Targeted change

Analysed carefully, the data will always tell you whether an approach is working and what needs refinement or change.
