Do you manage Facebook and Instagram ads?

Question 5

What is geo-fencing advertising and how does it work?

Accepted Answer

Geo-fencing creates a virtual perimeter (1-10 miles) around your business. When someone with a smartphone enters this zone, they see your ad on Facebook and Instagram. For example, a person walking near a pie shop would see 'Fresh pies baked daily — 0.3 miles away.' Setup is $299, management is $149/month plus 15% of ad spend. You set your own ad budget.

Question 6

Can geo-fencing target my competitors' customers?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We can set geo-fences around competitor locations, so anyone who visits a competing business will see your ads on their social media. This is called competitor conquest and is one of the most effective geo-fencing strategies for local businesses.

Question 7

How much does geo-fencing cost for a small business?

Accepted Answer

Geo-fencing through LocalBranding Pro costs $299 for setup, $149/month for campaign management, plus 15% of your ad spend. You set your own monthly ad budget — most small businesses start with $300-$500/month in ad spend and see a 5-8x return on investment.
