A town that keeps getting new neighbors

Ankeny is growing fast. The city's 2024 special census, with results released by the U.S. Census Bureau, counted 76,207 people. The city says that's 12.25% more than in 2020, and it makes Ankeny the fifth-largest city in Iowa.

Every family that moves in needs to find a new gym, a new stylist, a new dentist and someone to mow the lawn. They don't know anyone's name yet. Short videos and local ads are one of the simplest ways to be the name they see first, and a fast reply is how you turn that into a booking.

Posting alone isn't a plan

For many businesses, "social media marketing" means a few posts a week and a monthly report on likes. Posts help people trust you. But posts on their own rarely tell you who booked. Here's the difference:

Posting onlyWhat we run
VideosWhatever you have time to make12 a month on our main plan, scripted and edited for you
ReachMostly people who already follow youMeta ads shown to people near your business
Next step"DM us" or "call us"A landing page where people book a time

What we run for an Ankeny business

  • Short-form video. Our creators record videos speaking as your business, or you send clips from your phone and we edit them. You approve every script first. We never film at your location.
  • Meta ads in your own ad account. 30+ ad versions a month, built from your videos. You pay Meta directly, and we never mark up your spend.
  • A landing page with online booking, built for phones first.
  • Lead follow-up. A text that names your business from 9am to 8pm in the lead's time zone (not before noon on Sundays), and an instant email outside those hours. Why speed matters: speed to lead.

Who it's for in Ankeny

Any business where people book a time. We're starting with gyms and fitness studios. The same setup works for salons and barbers, med spas (booking and consult language only, no promises about results), and home services like cleaning, lawn care, pest control and HVAC.

What a month looks like

  • Monday: we read last week's numbers, pause weak ads and add new ones.
  • Scripts: we send them before we record. You have 48 hours to approve or ask for changes.
  • Videos: finished, captioned and scheduled to your page, then reused as ads.
  • Every week: a report with a short video walkthrough, plus a monthly strategy call by phone or video.

What it costs

The Founding Partner plan is $1,500 a month for our first 5 clients in November, with a 3-month minimum and no setup fee. Once those spots fill, the plan is $2,500 a month plus $1,500 setup. Ad spend is separate, paid by you to Meta. Most businesses start at $1,000 to $2,000 a month. See pricing for every plan.

Our guarantees

We set a booked-appointment target with you before your ads start. Miss it, and month two's fee is waived. We also guarantee a reply to every lead in under 60 seconds and delivery on schedule.

Questions

What does social media marketing include?

With us, it's videos, paid ads on Facebook and Instagram, a page where people book, and a fast reply to every lead. Posting is part of it, but the goal is booked appointments, not likes.

Do you post to my page for me?

Yes. We schedule your finished videos to your accounts. You approve every script before we record, so nothing goes out in your name without your OK.

Is TikTok worth it for an Ankeny business?

Our videos are made vertical, so they work on Reels, TikTok and YouTube Shorts. We run paid ads on Facebook and Instagram, where we can show them to people near your business.

Do you need to come film at my business?

No. Our creators record for you, or you send short phone clips and we edit them. Your business never has to stop for a shoot.

How soon will leads come in?

We aim to go live within 72 hours of getting access to your accounts, but Meta reviews every ad first. The first few days are slow while Meta learns who responds, and we report every week.
