Meta ads for trade and practical service businesses
Rather than waiting to be searched for, put reliable local trade and practical service work directly in front of people in your area - then qualify the responses automatically so only sensible enquiries reach your phone.
The challenge
Most ad accounts fail on the follow-up, not the targeting
- Enquiries arrive with no detail on the job, budget or timing
- Leads go cold because nobody replies within the hour
- Creative shows the business, not the finished work
- Spend keeps running while nobody reviews what it produced
The system
A paid enquiry system for trade and practical service businesses
Offer and audience
Campaigns built around the reliable local trade and practical service work you want to sell and the areas you can realistically serve.
Creative from your own work
Ads built from real completed projects, so expectations are set before anyone submits their details.
Automated qualification
Job type, location, timing and fit confirmed by an automated conversation before it reaches you.
Instant response and pipeline
Every enquiry answered within seconds and tracked in one place with a clear next step.
Outcomes
What changes once it's in place.
- Enquiries that arrive already filtered
- Faster response times without checking your phone all day
- A predictable flow rather than referral peaks and troughs
- Clear visibility of what each campaign actually produced
In detail
Exactly how this works.
Before anything is launched
We agree what a good enquiry looks like for you - the reliable local trade and practical service work you want, the areas you cover, the minimum job size and the timings you can service. Those answers become the qualification questions.
The creative
Ads are built from your finished work. Where photographs are strong but static, they can be turned into cinematic portrait clips so the finish reads properly in a feed.
The qualification layer
When somebody responds, an automated conversation confirms the details and books or flags them. Drago's team at MGI Services went from mixed enquiries to weekly bathroom enquiries that were already qualified before a call happened.
Budget and honesty
Paid ads need a sensible monthly spend to produce reliable data. If the numbers in your area do not support it, or your service radius is too tight, I will tell you before you commit.
Reviewing it properly
We look at cost per qualified enquiry, not raw lead count. Creative and targeting are adjusted based on which enquiries turned into real jobs.
What clients say
Real businesses, real systems, real results.
Now every week we have proper bathroom enquiries coming in, and they are already qualified before we speak.
Since Harry sorted this out, we're only really speaking to people who are actually looking to get it done, so it's not wasting time.
FAQ
Common questions.
Do Meta ads work for trade and practical service businesses?
They can when the offer, service area and qualification match how customers choose trade and practical service businesses. I will be direct if the numbers do not stack up.
How much should I budget?
It depends on your area and job value. We agree a realistic figure on the first call, and I would rather turn work down than run a budget too small to learn from.
Who handles the replies?
The initial response and qualification are automated and set up as part of the system. You step in when there is a genuine opportunity to speak to.
