Why Meta Ads work for professional services

Professional services are often a considered purchase. Meta keeps you visible across the decision-making timeline.

Reach decision-makers directly

We build audiences of Auckland business owners and professionals — the people most likely to need your firm.

Authority-led creative

For professional services, ads that demonstrate expertise outperform ads that just promote services. We create content that builds authority.

Supports the full funnel

Meta builds awareness at the top of the funnel. When those same prospects search on Google later, they already know your name.

What customers say about us

Don't just take our word for it, hear from real customers across New Zealand.

Bloody good to work with. Sorted us out with a pricing plan and website that shows what we're about. Easy to work with and we're already seeing more jobs.
Shaun Brannigan — Marmoset Electrical
Owner / Operator
Best investment we've made in the business. Jelly built our website, got us ranking in Google, and set up our Facebook ads. We now get consistent work from the website every week. The team are easy to deal with and they actually understand trades businesses.
Rangi Ngata — Ngata Painters
Owner
Awesome to work with, really happy with the website Jelly Digital set up for us. Looks great and got us online looking professional. They took care of everything. Highly recommend them, made the whole process super easy.
Steve Clarke — S J Clarke Construction
Owner / Operator
Our old website was embarrassing — we were doing great work but the site didn't reflect it. Jelly did a full rebrand and new website. Now when we send prospects to the site they actually call us back. The branding work in particular was brilliant — very professional.
Sarah Tuitama — Tuitama Building
Managing Director
Jelly have literally doubled our business. We're getting at least 8 new leads a week off the website alone — and with their Google Ads and SEO on top, the phone doesn't stop. They rebuilt our brand and website from the ground up and the difference has been night and day. Couldn't recommend them more.
James — Tree Rangers
Owner
I was sceptical about spending money on a website but Jelly convinced me it was worth it. Within three months we were ranking on Google for plumbing jobs in Papakura and getting leads we weren't getting before. The team made the whole thing easy — no jargon, just results.

FAQs

Got questions? We've answered the most common ones here.

What types of Meta Ads work best for tradies?

Lead generation ads (with an in-app form so customers don't have to leave Facebook) work well for quote requests. Video ads showing completed jobs or on-site work build trust quickly. Retargeting ads — shown to people who've already visited your website — convert at a much higher rate than cold audiences. We match the ad format to the goal and the audience.

How quickly do Meta Ads generate leads for a trades business?

Most clients start seeing enquiries within the first 1–2 weeks, but the cost per lead drops significantly after the algorithm's learning phase (typically 2–4 weeks). We set realistic expectations in month one — early results are proof of concept, not the final performance level. By month two, campaigns are usually running at full efficiency.

How do you target homeowners with Meta Ads?

Meta's targeting lets us reach people by location (suburb or postcode level), age, homeownership signals, and interests related to home improvement and renovation. For most trades businesses, we target 30–65 year olds within your service area radius. We also build custom audiences from your existing customer list and website visitors to retarget warm leads.

What's the difference between Meta Ads and Google Ads for tradies?

Google Ads captures demand — people actively searching 'electrician Auckland' right now. Meta Ads creates demand — reaching homeowners in your area before they've started searching. Google Ads generates faster results; Meta Ads builds awareness and retargeting audiences over time. The most effective approach uses both, with Meta feeding warm audiences back into Google campaigns.

Is $1,000 enough for Meta Ads as a trades business?

$1,000/month in ad spend can work well for a trades business in a defined service area. In a smaller NZ city or specific suburbs, $1,000 generates strong reach. In central Auckland you may need $1,500–$2,000+ to compete. We give you a realistic forecast for your area before you commit any budget.

Do Facebook ads work for trade businesses and contractors?

Yes, in the right context. Meta Ads (Facebook and Instagram) work best for trades businesses when used for awareness and retargeting — reaching homeowners in your service area before they've started actively searching. They're not as high-intent as Google Ads, but they're powerful for staying front of mind and generating quote requests from warm audiences.

Do you run Meta Ads for professional services firms?

Yes, in the right context. Meta Ads work well for professional services when used for retargeting (reaching people who've visited your website), LinkedIn-style awareness campaigns, and promoting specific content like guides or events. For direct lead generation, Google Ads typically performs better for professional services — but Meta can play a useful supporting role.

Is Facebook advertising worth it for tradies?

Yes, in the right context. Meta Ads (Facebook and Instagram) work particularly well for brand awareness, retargeting website visitors, and promoting seasonal offers. For lead generation, Google Ads typically has higher intent — but Meta Ads are valuable for staying top-of-mind in your service area. We recommend combining both for best results.
