This means you can start small and spend more as you see good results. It's a great way for cleaning businesses to advertise without spending too much money at first.
Getting Started: Setting Up Your Facebook Ads
Before you start making ads, there are a few things you need to do first:
Make a Facebook Business Page: This is like your cleaning company's online store and should have:
Within Meta Ads Manager you’re first going to need to decide what you want your ad to do:
You might want to:
Get New Customers (free quotes or cleaning appointments)
Get More Website Visits (great to build engagement and help potential clients get to know you)
Let People Know About Your Business (i.e. "Local Awareness," which helps people in your area learn about your cleaning company)
Setting Up Your Ad
After you pick your goal, you need to decide who will see your ad and how much you'll spend.
This means picking things like the demographics mentioned above (e.g. age, location, interests, etc.) and where your ad will show up (e.g. Facebook feeds, Instagram, or Messenger).
As for ad spend, it basically comes down to how much you want to spend each day.
A good general rule of thumb is to keep the spending small, and then increase the budget if the ads perform well.
Choose Your Ad Type: You can use pictures, videos, or even a group of pictures that people can swipe through.
Use Great Pictures: Show clean homes or happy clients.
Write Great Ads: Keep your words short and clear. Tell people why your cleaning service is special. For example, instead of saying "We clean houses," say "Come home to a spotless house and relax!"
Checking How Your Ad Is Doing
After your ad starts running, you need to keep an eye on it:
Use the Meta Pixel: This is a special code for your website. It helps you see if people who clicked your ad actually hired you.
Look at the Results: Meta Ads Manager will show you how many people saw your ad, clicked on it, and became clients.
Make Your Ads Better: Try different pictures or words to see what works best. Keep changing your ads to make them better.
