Paid Lead Generation

Meta Ads Lead Generation for Service Businesses

Facebook and Instagram are where local demand gets created before people ever search. Done right, Meta Ads put a compelling offer in front of the exact people most likely to buy your service — then capture and follow up with them automatically. Done wrong, they burn budget on cheap clicks and junk leads. Half Code builds Meta campaigns engineered around your offer, your economics and your sales process.

  • Qualified leads at a controlled cost per lead

What Half Code does

How our meta ads work drives results

Meta Ads strategy built for local and service businesses

We start with your economics — average job value, close rate and target cost per acquisition — then reverse-engineer the campaign structure, audiences and budget needed to hit a profitable cost per booked appointment.

Campaign objectives that match how Meta actually optimizes

Choosing the wrong objective is the fastest way to waste budget. We align campaign objectives and conversion events to the action that matters — qualified leads — so Meta's algorithm optimizes toward booked jobs, not form fills from tire-kickers.

Offer strategy that makes saying yes easy

The offer does more for performance than the targeting. We help you craft and test irresistible, qualified offers — free estimates, assessments, limited promotions — that attract serious buyers and filter out the rest.

Creative testing that finds your winners

We run a structured creative testing system across hooks, formats and angles — video, static, UGC-style — so winning ads scale and fatigue is replaced before performance drops.

Lead forms vs landing pages

Instant forms convert cheaply but can attract lower-intent leads; landing pages qualify harder and convert better for higher-ticket services. We test both against lead quality, not just cost, and use whatever produces booked revenue.

Retargeting and CRM integration

Warm audiences — site visitors, video viewers, partial leads — convert at a fraction of cold costs. Every lead flows directly into your CRM with source data so your team can follow up fast and you can see true cost per customer.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about meta ads with Half Code.

Will Meta Ads work for my type of service business?
Meta works especially well for services with a clear consumer offer — home services, med spas, clinics, contractors and similar. If you can package a compelling offer and follow up quickly, it's usually a strong channel.
How do you stop low-quality leads?
We qualify in the ad and the form — clear offers, qualifying questions, and budget/timeline filters — and optimize toward leads that actually book, not just the cheapest form fills.
What budget do I need?
It depends on your market and job value, but we'll model a realistic test budget based on your target cost per booked appointment before you spend a dollar.
Can you guarantee a cost per lead?
We can't guarantee a specific cost per lead — that depends on your market, offer and follow-up. We can commit to a disciplined testing and optimization process that drives it down over time.
