Meta Ads for Home-Service Companies
C&C Gorilla runs Facebook and Instagram campaigns for home-service businesses that go beyond lead-form volume: creative built around your actual jobs, audiences built from your customer file, and follow-up that determines whether the campaign pays for itself.
Meta produces cheap leads and expensive disappointments
It is easy to generate form fills on Meta. It is harder to generate form fills from households that own the roof, the pool, or the system old enough to replace, and harder still to reach them before they fill in three other forms.
- Instant forms attract clicks from outside your service area
- One static creative runs for months while frequency climbs
- Leads arrive and sit unanswered for hours
- Sold-job outcomes never reach the platform, so optimization learns the wrong lesson
Creative, audience and follow-up treated as one system
On Meta the creative does most of the targeting. We run a testing pipeline so audiences and angles are validated by real booked work instead of by form fills.
Audiences built from your customer segments and real service-area boundaries
Creative testing across offers, formats and proof points on a weekly cadence
Lead-form qualification questions that filter out-of-area and wrong-job-type leads
Offline conversion feedback from the CRM so the platform optimizes toward sold jobs
Demand creation, end to end
How an audience becomes a customer
Paid social creates demand in people who were not searching. The audience comes from your own customer data rather than from generic interest categories.
Audience
Built from your customers, job history and service areas.
Creative
Offers and formats matched to the job type being sold.
Enquiry
Form, message or call, with its source recorded.
The platforms optimise for the enquiry. What decides whether it becomes a customer happens after the click.
Follow-up
Sequence, reminders and recovery until a decision is reached.
Customer
Booked work, attributed to the audience that produced it.
Demand creation pays back over time, which is why it is budgeted against the job types it produces rather than against lead volume.
How it works, step by step
The sequence below is the same on every engagement. The inputs change with your market and service mix.
- 01
Offer and angle selection
We identify the offers worth spending behind, such as estimates, maintenance plans or seasonal tune-ups, based on what your team actually closes.
- 02
Audience build
Customer-file lookalikes, proximity audiences around completed jobs and interest layers are built and separated for clean testing.
- 03
Creative pipeline
A standing cadence of new hooks, formats and proof points, tested against each other rather than replaced on instinct.
- 04
Lead handling
Instant response, qualification questions and CRM routing so every lead is worked the same day.
- 05
Outcome matching
Sold jobs are pushed back to the platform so optimization improves on revenue rather than on form completions.
What the engagement includes
Each of these is scoped to your service lines and capacity rather than sold as a fixed package.
Facebook and Instagram campaigns
Lead, traffic and conversion objectives matched to the offer.
Creative testing and iteration
A pipeline that produces new angles instead of one tired ad.
Customer-file lookalike audiences
Modeled from customers who have already bought.
Proximity audiences
Neighborhoods around completed jobs and recent installs.
Instant forms with qualification
Questions that screen out low-intent submissions.
Retargeting
Site visitors, video viewers and past engagers.
Offline conversion integration
CRM outcomes fed back for better optimization.
Who this is built for
This works best when there is enough volume and enough capacity for the results to matter.
Considered, visual purchases such as roofing, pools, remodeling, waterproofing and exterior cleaning
Companies with a database large enough to build lookalike audiences
Teams that can respond to leads within minutes during working hours
Businesses with capacity for longer consideration cycles
Meta creates demand that search alone cannot capture
Search harvests people already looking. Meta puts your offer in front of households that match your best customers before they start searching. The customers it produces then become intelligence for the next round of targeting.
Audiences come from customer data rather than broad interest targeting
Response speed is treated as part of the campaign, not an afterthought
Sold-job data flows back into the platform
Creative is built from real jobs and real proof

Growth Opportunity Review
See whether your Meta spend is creating demand or just filling forms
A complimentary, preliminary review of your social acquisition: the audiences behind it, the offers and creative carrying it, and whether outcomes ever reach the platform at all.
This review is complimentary and preliminary. A strategist prepares it. It is separate from the paid comprehensive discovery engagement, which is scoped separately once a statement of work is agreed.
