New Haven-addressed operator examples: A small set of first-party operator pages that publish New Haven, Connecticut addresses. This is not a municipal boundary, a verified operator catchment, or a representative business sample; a postal city label alone is not used to assert City jurisdiction.
U.S. survey: National survey respondents, not a city-level measurement of residents or competitors. The population represented is specified for each statistic.

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 our New Haven Meta advertising includes

Facebook and Instagram campaigns built to earn attention.

A strong social campaign needs more than a boosted post. We connect the audience, creative, offer and response path around a specific business goal.

Audience and campaign strategy

Define who the campaign should reach, where they live and what you want them to do. Choose an objective that matches the real business goal.

Facebook and Instagram advertising

Build coordinated campaigns for the placements that fit your audience and creative. Keep the message recognizable from the feed to the landing page.

Lead generation campaigns

Use website forms, calls, messages or native lead forms when they fit the offer. Make the response path simple and realistic for your team to manage.

Ad creative and copy

Turn real projects, people and customer problems into ads that look like your business. Write direct copy with a reason to stop, care and respond.

Retargeting and follow-up audiences

Reconnect with people who already visited key pages or engaged with the business, where platform rules and available audience size make that useful.

Creative testing and campaign reporting

Compare meaningful creative and message variations, watch lead costs and quality, and refresh campaigns before attention fades.

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

Should a social ad ask customers to inquire or order?

Match the action to the offer. Use an inquiry for a customized or not-yet-confirmed request; use an order link only when the customer can follow the published ordering process. Keep deadlines and fulfillment terms visible.

Can we use any photos from the business website?

Use images the business owns or has permission to use. Choose approved photos that accurately show the offer, and make sure the destination explains what is included and what the customer should do.

How will we know if a New Haven campaign is useful?

Agree on the response the business can fulfill, then review suitable inquiries or completed orders alongside spend. Don't assume an audience size or result from a city label.
