How much should a small business spend on digital advertising?

Are Facebook and Instagram ads worth it for local businesses?
Absolutely. Facebook and Instagram ads can be hyper-targeted to local audiences right here in Grand Rapids. Whether you're promoting a sale, event, or just raising awareness, social ads are one of the fastest ways to get in front of your ideal customer.
How do I track if my advertising is actually working?
Good question, and one too many business owners don’t ask early enough. Every ad we run is connected to tracking tools like Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel so you know exactly where your leads are coming from, what’s converting, and what’s not.
Should I run Google Ads or Facebook Ads?
Both platforms can work, but it depends on your business. If your customers are searching for a service like “plumber in Grand Rapids”, Google Ads are essential. If you're trying to build awareness or promote a new offer visually, Facebook Ads usually win. We’ll help you choose based on real data, not just what’s trendy.
