Facebook & Instagram advertising / Dinosaur Roofing

From brand-new business
to $10k+ monthly profit.

We created and managed Meta advertising for Dinosaur Roofing, supported by the website and brand we built for its launch. We refined the path from an ad to an inquiry, including forms, calls to action and the mobile experience.

Facebook & Instagram AdsWebsiteGoogle Ads
Inside the project

Brand development began in January 2026. The website followed, and Google and Facebook campaigns were live by March 2. The team then refined forms, buttons, and the mobile experience. The team later shifted emphasis toward Meta and tested a more focused Google campaign.

The profit milestone is reported by Heart City Marketing’s owner. It has not been independently verified against client financial records and is not a forecast for other businesses.

What Heart City Marketing does for Facebook & Instagram Ads

The Facebook & Instagram Ads work behind a useful customer path.

A Town Center appointment may require arrival details; an Oceanfront service request may require timing and job location before staff can confirm availability. We connect the real offer in the creative with a response path staff can support.

Offer and audience

Show a real offer that fits customers near Town Center or Oceanfront only where the business can serve them.

Creative from real work

Use approved photos, products or work examples with a clear and accurate promise.

Response path

Choose a message, call or page path that staff can answer and qualify.

Follow-up

Track timing and unanswered responses so a promising inquiry does not stall.

Outcome review

Compare suitable appointments and jobs with spend before expanding the audience.

The work, the fit and the tradeoffs

Give people a reason to stop, care and respond.

Build demand with a clear offer

Facebook and Instagram ads reach people while they browse; they are not the same as a customer actively searching Google for a service. Creative, useful examples of your work and a clear offer need to earn attention.

Choose a relevant audience and geography

We build campaigns around the customers and areas you can serve, using the targeting options available for the campaign. Platform rules and restricted categories can limit audience selection. An institution nearby is not evidence that we can target its employees or know who they are.

Choose the right inquiry path

An in-platform lead form can reduce friction; a website destination gives customers more room to evaluate the service. We weigh that tradeoff with qualification needs and how quickly your team can respond.

Test creative and review the conversations

We test messages and creative, then review inquiry quality alongside campaign costs. A cheap form submission is not necessarily a qualified customer. Paid Meta campaign management is distinct from an ongoing organic social posting service.

What makes a useful ad creative brief?

Start with the service, customer problem, offer and real examples you have permission to show. Approved photos, stories and clear limitations make stronger material than unsupported claims.

What happens after someone submits a lead?

Your response process matters. Before launch, agree who receives inquiries, what qualifies a good lead and how follow-up outcomes will inform the campaign.

Ask us
What follow-up should a Virginia Beach social ad promise?

A Town Center appointment may require arrival details; an Oceanfront service request may require timing and job location before staff can confirm availability. Show the actual offer and give staff a response route that can confirm availability, location and fit.

Can social ads promise service across every nearby district?

Use the locations the business can fulfill, not a broad statistical region. Check the actual request address and update creative when the offer or team capacity changes.

How should we measure social ads?

Review responses and the suitable appointments or jobs they create. Reach and engagement help diagnose creative, but they do not prove a business outcome.

Can we use one creative for every offer?

Lead with the specific product or service shown. Use separate images and calls to action when the customer need or available next step changes.

What if the team cannot reply quickly?

Set up a response path the team can staff before increasing the campaign. Track unanswered inquiries and adjust the offer or hours if the handoff fails.
