Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about our Facebook advertising, Marketing Coaching, and web development services for small businesses.

Facebook Advertising Services

How much do Facebook advertising services cost for a small business?

Branding and awareness ads start at just $200/month with ad spend included, and full Facebook ads management starts at $497/month. Our Facebook advertising services are designed to be affordable for small businesses, with no hidden fees and no long-term contracts. During your free strategy call, we'll discuss a plan that fits your specific budget and goals.

How quickly can I expect to see results from Facebook ads?

Most clients see initial results within 7-14 days of campaign launch, with optimal performance developing over 2-4 weeks. During this period we gather data and optimize targeting to improve results continuously. We provide weekly reports so you can track your progress.

What's included in your Facebook advertising service?

Everything you need to run effective Facebook ads: campaign setup and targeting to your service area, ad creation and design, ongoing management and optimization, performance monitoring, and regular reporting. We handle the entire process so you can focus on running your business.

Can you run Facebook ads that only target my local service area?

Yes, we use mapped service area targeting so your ads only show to people in your actual service area. No wasted impressions on customers you can't serve, whether you cover a 5-mile radius or multiple cities.

Marketing Coaching & Strategy

What does your Marketing Coaching program include?

One-on-one strategy sessions, goal setting and accountability, marketing strategy development, operational efficiency consulting, and ongoing support. We focus on practical, actionable strategies that small businesses can implement immediately, not theory.

What happens during the free strategy consultation?

You get a review of your current business situation, a discussion of your goals and challenges, identification of growth opportunities, initial recommendations, and a customized action plan. There's no obligation, and you'll receive valuable insights regardless of whether we work together.

Web Development Services

What kind of websites do you build for small businesses?

Professional business websites, e-commerce stores, and landing pages, all mobile-responsive, SEO-optimized, and designed to convert visitors into customers. We specialize in small business websites that actually drive revenue.

How long does it take to build a small business website?

Most small business websites take 2-4 weeks to complete, and e-commerce sites take 4-6 weeks. Timeline depends on complexity and content requirements. We provide regular updates throughout the process and work with your schedule.

As a small business owner, I was drowning in day-to-day operations and couldn't see the path to growth. David's Marketing Coaching helped me create systems, focus on what matters, and develop a real growth strategy. In 6 months, I've hired my first employee and increased my revenue by 150%. Best investment I've made!

JT
James Thompson
Service Business Owner

I was skeptical about Facebook advertising because I thought it was too expensive for my small business. David showed me how to do it affordably and effectively. His coaching on business strategy has been invaluable too. I'm now consistently generating 20-30 quality leads per month at a fraction of what I was paying other agencies.
