Facebook Advertising/Checka Trade

Who does it?

Results?

I've tried to do it myself but can't seem to really work it out. How easy is it to learn?

Thinking of getting a company to do it for me. I'm a believer in outsourcing stuff that is outside my skill set.

Anyone use a company to do it? If so would you recommend?

Thanks

My Mrs has a student do her socials. Basically free.

Personally I find Facebook customers to be the worst so I avoid it now. I did targeted ads a few years back. I get better results from flyers.

I've heard others say it wasn't good customers in the past, so only looking to do a short test initially to see what it's like.

Anytime I’ve ventured into advertising on FB I’ve regretted it 100% of the time. An inbox full of ‘how much for….’ Etc etc, as said can be good for one offs but for regular reliable customers no thanks.

Leaflets if you want instant customers, a good website if you want customers over a longer timeframe.

As a follow up I emailed a local online marketing company.

They said Facebook was massively overhyped and didn't deliver much for small businesses. They only use it to promote customers that have events coming up in the local area.

He said SEO was most important for your website and getting good reviews on google.

He did recommend checkatrade tho. Anyone use it?
