Paid social on Facebook and Instagram that actually works

We run ads on Facebook and Instagram that educate, build rapport and actually win business, rather than just generate crap leads.

The problem

Does this sound like your business?

You are running Facebook and Instagram ads but not seeing the results you expected.

  • You boosted a post or ran a vague awareness campaign with no clear call to action
  • You are sending ad traffic to your homepage, which was never built to convert it
  • Leads come in and you try to get back to them when you get a chance, which is often hours later
  • By the time you reply, they have already booked with someone else

The platform is not the problem. The system around it is.

Your ads

Vague, no offer, sent to a homepage.

Clear offer, real creative, built to convert.

What we do differently

We do not just run ads. We build the whole system.

That means the right creative, a landing page built specifically for the campaign, a CRM that captures every enquiry the moment it comes in, and automated follow-up that responds within minutes, not hours.

Here is exactly how it works.

The process

Six steps, built around your business

01

We start with a strategy call

Before anything gets built, we sit down with you, on Zoom, and actually learn your business.

What jobs do you want more of. Who your best customers are. What has worked before and what has not. What your service area looks like. What budget makes sense.

No templates. No assumptions. Everything built from what you tell us.

We create your ad creative

Ads that look and feel like your business, not generic stock imagery with a phone number slapped on.

Where relevant, we come to you for a content day. We film on site: your work, your team, real jobs you have completed. Real footage consistently outperforms generic creative, and it builds trust with the person watching in a way that a graphic never can.

We build your landing page

Your ad and your landing page need to say the same thing. If someone clicks an ad about EV charging installation and lands on a homepage about your full range of services, they leave.

We build a dedicated landing page for every campaign, focused on one service, one offer, one action. Designed to convert the person who clicks rather than confuse them.

We connect your Lava Socials CRM

Before a single ad goes live, your CRM is set up and connected to the campaign.

Every enquiry that comes through your ads is captured automatically, logged in your pipeline, and triggers an instant follow-up. The lead gets a response within minutes of filling in a form, not hours later when you are off a job.

This is the part most agencies skip. It is also the part that makes the biggest difference to how many leads actually turn into paying customers.

We launch and manage your campaigns

Once everything is in place (creative, landing page, CRM, audiences), campaigns go live across Facebook and Instagram.

We manage the campaigns daily, watching performance data, shifting budget toward what is working, and catching anything that needs attention before it becomes a problem.

You are not handed a login and left to figure it out. We run the campaigns. You focus on the work.

We report back every month

Every month we send you a clear report showing what your ad spend actually produced. Leads generated. Cost per lead. Which ads performed. What we are changing and why.

Then we get on a call and walk through it together, so you actually understand what is happening with your money rather than receiving a spreadsheet and having to take our word for it.

What paid social actually means

Paid social is advertising on social media: paying to put your offer in the feeds of the people you choose, by where they live and what they are into, instead of hoping your own followers see a post. For most local service businesses that means Facebook and Instagram, which is where we focus.

Paid social

A campaign built in Ads Manager around one goal, an enquiry, with a clear offer, real creative, a form or landing page, tracking and fast follow up.

Boosting a post

A cut down ad with fewer controls, usually aimed at likes or reach. It gets you seen, but it is rarely built to bring in enquiries.

Google ads

Catches people already searching. Social media advertising reaches people before they search, so the offer and the creative have to do the work.

Who this is for

Built for service businesses

Facebook and Instagram ads work particularly well for service businesses where the value of a single job or new customer is high enough to make lead generation worthwhile.

If you are not sure whether Facebook and Instagram ads are the right fit for your business, book a call. We will tell you honestly.

Common questions

The things people ask us

Do I need a big budget to start?

No. We have generated strong results for clients on modest daily budgets. We will advise you on what makes sense for your business before anything goes live.

What happens to my leads when they come in?

They land straight in your Lava Socials CRM and are followed up automatically within minutes. Nothing gets lost.

How long before I see results?

Most clients see leads within the first week of campaigns going live. The first two to four weeks is a learning period where we optimise based on the data. Results typically improve as the campaign matures.

Do I need a new website?

No. We build a dedicated landing page for your campaign. Your existing website stays as it is.

Is paid social the same as social media advertising?

Yes, they are two names for the same thing: paying to show adverts to chosen people on social media platforms. We focus on Facebook and Instagram, because for most local service businesses that is where the customers are.

Are you based in Hull?

Yes. Our office is at Bridgehead Business Park in Hessle, and we run Facebook and Instagram ads for businesses across Hull, East Yorkshire, Lincolnshire and the rest of the UK. See our Meta ads agency in Hull page for the local detail.

Do you guarantee results?

No agency can honestly guarantee specific numbers, and anyone who does is lying to you. What we do guarantee is a properly built campaign, actively managed, with clear reporting and honest conversations if something needs to change.
