Show the Richmond offer before asking for the inquiry.

Help someone evaluate the service before asking them to respond. A planned property project may need approved examples and an authorization step; a visit-based offer needs availability and a clear destination.

What we recommend for your business

Show the offer and its requirements.

Use approved project images or real product and visit details. Explain who can arrange the service and what customers need to provide so interest leads to a useful conversation.

Plan follow-up alongside the creative.

Make coverage and the response action clear in the offer and landing page. Choose who handles messages or forms, then review qualified inquiries and booked work before widening the campaign.

Our recommendations draw on the research below and your business’s goals.

Plan around the actual Richmond trip or service territory

Give customers the destination or coverage details they need to arrange the next step.

Broad and East Main Street / Pulse corridor

The city’s Pulse Corridor Plan, adopted July 24, 2017, covers Broad and East Main Street and named station areas including Arts District and Main Street Station. Help visitors find your exact destination, and help service customers check the address where work will happen.

For your marketing: Show your real location or work with accurate offer and appointment details.

Henrico and Chesterfield service-area discussion

Richmond is an independent city, separate from Henrico and Chesterfield counties. Decide which county addresses your team can serve and explain scheduling or travel requirements before customers request work.

For your marketing: Explain coverage and approval requirements so a suitable customer knows how to proceed.

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.

Dinosaur Roofing: a strong start.

Facebook and Instagram advertising
for Richmond businesses.

Show Richmond customers an offer they can understand through your own work, products or appointment experience. We build Facebook and Instagram campaigns with clear service requirements, practical coverage and a response path your team can handle when someone is interested.

01

Put a real story in the feed.

Facebook and Instagram ads introduce a specific visual offer. Build a clear offer from your own materials and plan the response process alongside the creative. Show approved work or an available visit offer with accurate terms, naming the independent business and the response staff can handle.

Explore Meta Ads
02

Turn interest into a next step.

Web design gives each customer task a usable page. Carry the ad’s message through to a page where customers can check service fit and take the next step. Separate downtown arrival from property-work requests, asking about job location and authorization and explaining accepted Henrico or Chesterfield travel terms.

Explore Web Design
03

Be there when interest becomes a search.

Google Ads connects an active search to an accepted request. Reach customers actively seeking a defined job with a separate search offer and appropriate intake. Choose a defined repair, commercial project or downtown booking and qualify the actual address, scope and approval process before spending more.

04

Give people something useful to find.

SEO connects useful service answers to organic discovery. Support follow-up research with useful service pages, real examples and consistent business information. Explain real Richmond services and destinations, with useful answers for tenants reporting a repair and managers able to approve a project.

What our Richmond Meta Ads work includes

Facebook and Instagram campaigns built to earn attention.

Help someone evaluate the service before asking them to respond. A planned property project may need approved examples and an authorization step; a visit-based offer needs availability and a clear destination.

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
What should our Richmond ad show?

Show a specific product, appointment or service using your own approved materials. State the benefit, requirements and next action so someone can decide whether to respond.

Can we infer an audience from nearby campuses?

Campus proximity can help describe an accurate destination. It does not establish who will buy your offer; we plan around the service and real customer questions instead of assuming an institutional audience.

Where should ad responses go?

Choose a form, message or booking route that your team can manage. Make the offer clear and assign responsibility for the next questions so interest receives useful follow-up.

How should we show county coverage?

Name the locations your business actually serves and explain relevant scheduling or eligibility limits. The ad and page should carry the same coverage promise through to intake.

How do we evaluate a social campaign?

Review qualified conversations, appointments and booked work alongside platform reporting. Staff feedback shows which responses fit the offer and where creative or follow-up needs adjustment.

Do you require a long-term contract?

No. Heart City Marketing does not require a six- or twelve-month service contract. We explain the work and cost so you can decide whether the ongoing partnership serves your business.

Who owns our website and advertising accounts?

The website, ad accounts, creative and work produced for your business remain yours. We can build on what you already own and keep the handoff clear if you decide to change direction.
