Sound familiar?

  • You've boosted a few posts and got likes from people who live nowhere near you
  • An agency sent you monthly reports full of clicks and impressions, and the phone stayed quiet
  • Enquiries come in, but half of them want a price over the phone and disappear
  • One month you're turning work away and the next you're chasing it

How our paid ads are different

Every enquiry is checked before it reaches you

Our forms ask the questions you'd ask on the phone: the job, the postcode, the timescale and the budget. If someone is outside your area or has no budget, the enquiry stops there.

We chase the leads for you

Most leads go cold because nobody calls back fast enough. We follow up every enquiry and track it through to booked or lost, so you only speak to people ready to move forward.

You're reported on jobs won

Your monthly report shows enquiries, quotes sent, jobs won and revenue, set against what you spent. Clicks and reach are included further down.

One client per trade in each area

We won't run ads for your competitor down the road. If your trade is already taken in your area, we'll tell you on the first call.

Your ad budget goes straight to Meta or Google

You pay the platform directly. Our fee is separate and fixed, so you always know where every pound went.

Facebook ads or Google Ads?

Facebook, Facebook Ads and Instagram apps on a phone screen

Facebook and Instagram ads

Put your offer in front of homeowners before they start searching. They work well for planned jobs like boiler installs, driveways, bathrooms and roofs, where people need a reason to act now. JT Plumbing & Heating's boiler campaign ran on Facebook and Instagram.

Google Ads app open on a phone in front of a laptop

Google Ads

Catch people already searching for what you do. They suit urgent work like emergency plumbing, and online shops where people search by product. BM AutoSport's results came from Google Shopping, Search and Performance Max.

Plenty of businesses use both. We'll tell you on the call which one fits your trade and your budget.

How it works

  1. 1

    A quick call

    We look at your trade, your area and the job you want more of, and tell you honestly what's realistic.

  2. 2

    We build the campaign

    We set up your offer, ads, lead form and tracking, ready to go live in about a week.

  3. 3

    Enquiries start coming in

    Most clients see their first qualified enquiries inside the first two weeks. We follow up every one.

  4. 4

    We improve it every month

    After around 60 days you'll have a reliable cost per booked job, and we put more budget behind what works.

Who it suits

Paid ads work best for businesses that:

  • can take on more work and want a fuller diary
  • answer new enquiries the same day, or are willing to start
  • will tell us which jobs closed, so the numbers are based on real work
  • want a steady flow of work they can plan around

Who it isn't for

They're probably not right for you if you're already booked out, or you want a guaranteed number of leads every month whatever happens.

Ways to work with us

Your ad spend is paid straight to Meta or Google, so you can see exactly what's going in. We'll recommend a budget for your trade and area on the call.

The full approach

Your ads, website, Google, social media and follow-up run by one team. Your best social videos become ads, and every part is judged on the work it wins you.

Time Saver

We run your ads and follow-up. We bring the enquiries in and chase every one, and you add the rest when you're ready.

You pay month to month, with no minimum term.

Common questions

The Vantage Digital team working on laptops in the studio

Still got a question?

Ask us directly. You'll speak to the people who'd run your campaigns.

How much do paid ads cost?

We'll give you a fixed price for your business on the call. Your ad spend is separate and paid directly to Meta or Google, and we'll recommend a budget for your trade and area. JT Plumbing & Heating's results ran on £500 a month.

How quickly will I get enquiries?

Most clients see their first qualified enquiries inside the first two weeks. A reliable cost per booked job takes around 60 days.

Do you guarantee a number of leads?

No. Results depend on your trade, your area and how quickly enquiries are answered. We'll give you a realistic estimate on the call, based on what similar campaigns have produced, and tell you if we don't think we can hit your number.

Should I use Facebook ads or Google Ads?

Facebook and Instagram suit planned jobs where people need a reason to act, like boiler installs or driveways. Google suits urgent work and products people search for. We'll recommend one or both on the call.

Do I need a website?

No. We can send enquiries to a lead form or a landing page we build for you. If you do have a website, we'll check it's set up to turn visitors into enquiries.

What do I have to do?

Answer the enquiries we send you and let us know which jobs you won. We handle everything else.

Do you work with my competitors?

We take one client per trade in each area. If your slot is already filled, we'll tell you on the call.

Is there a contract?

You pay month to month, with no minimum term.
