What's Included

Four deliverables. One flat fee.

Here's exactly what we build for you — whether it's a standalone project or bundled with a new website.

1

Get found on Google Maps

Google Business Profile

Most people searching for a local service click one of the top three map results and call from there. If your business isn't in that list, you're not getting those calls — no matter how good you are.

What we do

  • Claim or verify your listing if it's unclaimed
  • Set the right primary and secondary categories
  • Write a keyword-rich business description
  • Define your service area (counties, ZIP codes, or radius)
  • Add business hours including holiday hours
  • Upload photos of your work, location, and team
  • Set up the Q&A section with common questions
  • Enable messaging and booking links if applicable
  • Find and merge any duplicate listings

The result

When someone searches "[your service] near me" or "[your service] [county name]," your business shows up with your hours, phone number, and reviews — ready to be called.

2

Look the part on Facebook

Facebook Business Page

If someone hears about your business and looks you up on Facebook, what do they find? A personal-looking profile with no reviews and a cover photo from 2019 sends them straight to a competitor. A real business page builds trust before they even call.

What we do

  • Create a Business Page (not a personal profile) or audit your existing one
  • Set the correct business category
  • Fill in every contact field — phone, hours, website, physical address
  • Write the About section with your services and service area
  • Set up the primary call-to-action button (Call Now, Get Quote, Book Now)
  • Recommend the right cover photo dimensions and profile image setup
  • Connect your page to Instagram if applicable
  • Enable reviews and set up page messaging

The result

A page that looks professional, complete, and legitimate — so potential customers trust you before they've ever spoken to you.

Ready-to-run ads, written for your business

5 Ad Copy Variations

Generic ad copy doesn't work. "We're the best! Call us today!" gets scrolled past. Good local ad copy sounds like a real person talking to a neighbor — specific, credible, and relevant to where they live.

What we do

  • Five complete variations, each with a headline and body copy
  • Each variation takes a different angle: trust, speed, price, local roots, or urgency
  • Written for your specific service, county, and customer — not a template
  • Formatted and ready to paste into Facebook Ads Manager or use as a boosted post
  • Can be adapted for Google Ads with minor tweaks
  • Includes guidance on which variation to test first and why

The 5 angles we write

Trust

"Family-owned since 2003. Licensed, insured. Serving Morgan County for over 20 years."

Speed

"Same-day service available. Call before noon, we're there today."

Price

"Free estimates. No surprise fees. You'll know the price before we start."

Local

"We live here too. Proud to serve Pike County — not a call center in another state."

Urgency

"Spring AC tune-ups are booking fast. Grab your spot before summer hits."

The result

Five ads you can run today or save for when you're ready — written to actually get a response from people in your area.

4

Stop guessing who to reach

Audience Targeting Recommendations

The biggest reason ads don't work isn't the copy — it's that they're shown to the wrong people. "Target everyone in [city]" burns through your budget fast. We narrow it down so your money reaches the people most likely to call.

What we do

  • Age and demographic range based on your typical customer profile
  • Interest targeting (homeownership, DIY, local community groups, etc.)
  • Behavioral targeting (likely to move, recently moved, small business owners)
  • Geographic targeting: specific counties, ZIP codes, or mile radius
  • Day-of-week and time-of-day recommendations for your service type
  • Platform recommendation: Facebook vs. Google vs. both, and why
  • Starting budget recommendation for testing

The result

A clear, written targeting plan you can hand to anyone who runs your ads — or follow yourself without having to guess.

Optional Add-On

Keep it fresh for $100/mo

Ad copy gets stale fast. What worked in January doesn't land the same way in July. The monthly retainer keeps your messaging current — seasonal promotions, new services, updated angles — without you having to think about it.

3–5 fresh ad variations

Every month, written for your current season, promotions, or focus

Updated targeting

Adjustments as you learn what audience and timing is working best

Direct line

Questions about your ads, your page, or what to try next — just ask

The retainer is month-to-month — no contract. Cancel anytime.

Who It's For

Sound familiar?

📍

You're invisible on Google Maps even though you've been in business for years

😬

Your Facebook page looks abandoned, unprofessional, or like a personal profile

💸

You've tried running Facebook or Google ads and wasted money without results

🌐

You have a website, but it's not generating any calls or leads

🆕

You're new to the area and need to build local visibility fast

📞

Most of your business still comes from word of mouth and you want to change that

This works for any local service business — contractors, shops, restaurants, medical offices, law firms, real estate, and anyone else whose customers are searching locally.

The Process

Simple from start to finish

Most setups delivered within 3–5 business days.

Tell us about your business

Fill out a short intake form — what you do, where you operate, who your typical customer is, and what makes you different. Takes about five minutes.

2

We do the work

We build or audit your Google and Facebook profiles, write your five ad variations, and put together your targeting plan. No back-and-forth required on your end.

3

You review and go live

Deliverables come through your client portal. Review everything, request one round of changes, and you're ready to run.

FAQ

Common questions

Do I have to pay for ads on top of this?

Yes — our fee covers the setup, profiles, and copy. Your ad spend goes directly to Facebook or Google and is fully under your control. You can start with as little as $5–$10/day and scale up once you see what works. We'll tell you where to start.

What if I already have a Google Business Profile or Facebook page?

We'll audit what you have, fix what's broken, and optimize what's already there. We don't make you start over — we make what exists actually work. If there are duplicate listings on Google, we'll track them down and get them merged.

Do I have to run ads, or is just setting up the profiles enough?

The profiles alone drive real organic traffic — people searching Google Maps, looking you up on Facebook, checking your hours. The ad copy is there when you're ready to invest in paid reach, but it's not required. Plenty of businesses see a meaningful difference from the profile setup alone.

How long does the setup take?

Most setups are delivered within 3–5 business days. The one exception is Google Business Profile verification — if Google requires a postcard to verify your address, that can take up to a week. We'll walk you through it when it happens.

Can the ad copy work for both Facebook and Google?

Yes, with minor adjustments. Facebook ads tend to be a bit more conversational; Google Ads have stricter character limits. We'll flag in your deliverables which variations are best suited for which platform.

What does the optional monthly retainer include?

Each month you get 3–5 fresh ad copy variations — seasonally relevant, updated to reflect anything new in your business, and written to keep your messaging from going stale. You also get a direct line to ask questions and updated targeting recommendations if your audience changes.

Can I add this to a web design package?

Yes — adding the marketing package to any of our web design tiers is just +$150 on the setup fee. The monthly retainer for hosting and support stays the same. It's the most cost-effective way to get both done at once.

Ready to stop being invisible?

$250 gets your Google Business Profile and Facebook Page set up right, five ad variations written for your business, and a targeting plan you can actually use.

Or add it to any web design package for +$150. See full pricing →
