What affects the cost of social ads for contractors?
You pay the platform for the ads and pay us to manage them. The cost of a lead moves with the factors below, and social leads usually need a faster callback than search leads because the person wasn't shopping when they saw you.
- The offer: a free inspection draws more leads than a general ad
- The quality of your photos and video
- The size of the area you target
- The season
- How quickly leads are called back
