Ads Management (Social Media + Google PPC)
Get seen by the right people, at the right time, without wasting your budget.
Running ads shouldn’t feel like throwing money into a black hole. Whether it’s Meta ads, Instagram campaigns, or Google PPC, the goal is simple: show up where your customers already are — and convert that attention into real revenue.
That’s where ads management comes in.
We’ll help you build paid campaigns that hit your ideal audience, use your budget wisely, and actually move the needle.
How much should I spend on Ads?
The Short answer: it depends on your goals - but there is a smart starting point.
For most small-to-medium businesses in Maine (and honestly, everywhere), a realistic minimum ad spend is usually $300–$600/month per platform. This gives you enough data to test what works, refine your audience, and actually see meaningful results.
The most important thing?
Your ad spend should feel sustainable. It’s better to start with a modest budget and optimize than overspend and hope for the best.
Why do Paid Ads Matter?
Paid ads fill the gap by giving you immediate visibility and immediate data. Paid ads work especially well when you want to:
- Push a specific offer or seasonal promotion
- Generate leads quickly
- Build brand awareness in new markets
- Compete in crowded industries
- Get in front of high-intent searchers who are ready to buy
Think of paid ads like a spotlight: you choose where it points, how bright it gets, and how long you keep it shining.
Social Media Vs. Google Ads?
Both are powerful - they just shine in different ways.
Meta Ads (Facebook + Instagram)
Great for reaching new people, telling your brand’s story visually, retargeting website visitors, and generating steady local leads. Perfect for service businesses, e-commerce brands, and anyone looking to stay top-of-mind.
Google PPC
This is where you catch people in the moment they’re actively searching for what you offer. High-intent traffic. Strong conversion potential. Especially valuable for contractors, professional services, home services, medical, legal, and local businesses.
