Which Local Advertising Service Fits Your Business?

The decision that matters most is not Facebook versus Google. It is whether people already search for what you sell. If they do, you want to be there when they look. If they do not, you need them to know your name before they need you.

If

People in your area do not know your name yet

Facebook & Instagram Ads, from $200/month, ad spend included

Always-on awareness ads shown only inside your service area, so the same local people see you week after week.

If

You want to be seen across the websites locals already read

Google Display Ads, from $200/month

Display branding across the Google network, targeted to your area. Same job as the Facebook plan, different places.

If

People already search for what you sell

Combined Ad Services, from $819/month

Facebook and Google awareness plus Google Search keyword ads, so you are familiar before the need and visible when they search.

If

Your Facebook page has gone quiet

Social Media Posting, from $100/month

Regular posts on Facebook and Instagram written and scheduled for you, so the profile people check after seeing an ad looks alive.

If

You want the whole local foundation handled

Marketing Partner, $600/month plus $400 setup

Google Business Profile, reviews, listings and always-on local awareness ads, kept up for you every month.

What Local Advertising Costs

Local advertising for a small business starts at about $200 a month. Our Facebook and Instagram plans are $200, $285 and $389 a month with the ad spend included, so there is no separate ad budget on top. The only difference between plans is how many people in your service area see you.

Below about $150 a month, most service areas are too big for the budget. Your ad reaches each person once, and nobody remembers an ad they saw once. A smaller radius fixes that for free, which is why we map your service area before recommending a plan.

These are awareness campaigns. They make your business the name people recognize, and the honest window for judging them is three to six months. If you need to reach people who are searching for your service today, that is Combined Ad Services, which adds Google Search keyword ads.

Common Questions

Local Advertising Services: Common Questions

Straight answers on cost, channels and what to expect

Common questions about local advertising for small businesses.

What are local advertising services?

Local advertising services put your business in front of people who live in the area you serve, instead of a whole state or country. For a small business that usually means Facebook and Instagram ads, Google ads and an active social profile, each targeted to your service area.

How much does local advertising cost for a small business?

Our Facebook and Instagram plans start at $200/month with the ad spend included, and Google Display plans start at $200/month. Combined Ad Services, which adds Google Search keyword ads, starts at $819/month. Below about $150 a month, most service areas are too big for anyone to see you often enough to remember you.

Should I advertise on Facebook or Google?

It depends on whether people already search for what you sell. If they do, Google Search catches them while they are looking. If they do not, nobody searches for a business they have never heard of, and Facebook and Instagram awareness ads are how they learn your name. Many established service businesses run both.

How long does local online advertising take to work?

Awareness advertising builds recognition, so judge it over three to six months. The first month should show steady reach across your service area. Search keyword ads are faster because they reach people who are already looking.

Do I have to sign a contract?

No. Advertising and social plans run month to month and you can cancel anytime.

Do you only work with businesses in Houston?

No. We are based in the Houston area and work with local businesses anywhere in the US. Every campaign is targeted to your own service area.
