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.

Ask us
How should our Cedar Rapids business choose its marketing priorities?

Cedar Rapids' population has been broadly stable since 2020, while Linn County is a separate geography. Regional manufacturing and food-processing activity offers context, but your marketing still needs a clear service and buyer. We start with a free assessment of your website, search presence and campaigns, then recommend the work that fits your goals.

How do you decide which parts of the Cedar Rapids area to target?

We start with the addresses your team can serve well, the value of the jobs and the time it takes to reach them. We can focus on the city, selected surrounding areas or a wider territory when that fits your business. We review where useful inquiries come from before expanding.

Can you work with the website and campaigns we already have?

Yes. We can improve the existing site, manage an existing Google or Meta campaign, or build something new when that is the better answer. We review your current work before recommending a rebuild.

How will we know whether the work is helping?

We use Google Analytics, Google Search Console and appropriate call, form and local-rank tracking. We review traffic and inquiries alongside the quality of leads and the work your team books, so the report connects to the business.

Do I have to sign a six- or twelve-month contract?

No. We do not require long-term contracts. We want you to stay because the work is valuable and the relationship is working.

Do I own the website and campaigns you build?

Yes. The website, ad campaigns, creative and other work we produce on your behalf belong to you and remain yours if we separate.
