A Facebook ads agency for Cedar Rapids businesses

Cedar Rapids at a glance

Cedar Rapids is Iowa's second-largest city, with 137,710 people in the 2020 Census. The Cedar Rapids Metro Economic Alliance has nearly 1,200 member businesses, and the Alliance notes that Indeed ranked Cedar Rapids 14th on its first Best City for Work list in 2026.

A working city means working schedules. If your customers start early or work late shifts, they need to book without calling during your open hours. That's why every ad we run sends people to a booking link, not just a phone number.

What a Facebook ads agency should do

Running ads is more than boosting a post. Here's what we do each month (more on our Meta ads page):

• Make the creative. Your ads are built from 12 short videos a month on our main plan. Our creators record them speaking as your business, or you send clips and we edit them. We never film at your location. See short-form video.
• Write 30+ ad versions a month, so your ads don't go stale.
• Set the area and the offer. We show ads to people near your business, from downtown and NewBo to Marion and Hiawatha, and make one clear offer.
• Build the page they land on. A landing page with online booking, or a Meta lead form when that fits better.
• Answer every lead fast. A text from your business name from 9am to 8pm in the lead's time zone, and an instant email outside those hours. Texts only go to people who opted in. See lead follow-up.
• Change things every week. Every Monday we pause what isn't working and move money toward what is.

Questions to ask any ads agency

Whoever you hire, ask these first:

• Whose ad account is it? It should be yours. Ours always is.
• Do you mark up ad spend? We don't. You pay Meta directly on your own card.
• What happens to a lead after they fill out the form? If the answer is "it goes to your email," leads can sit for hours. Ours get a reply in under 60 seconds. See speed to lead.
• What's in the report? Ask for leads, bookings, shows and cost per booking, not just clicks.
• How do you handle Meta's ad rules? Meta doesn't allow ads that state or hint at things about the viewer, like their health or money. We talk about your business and your offer, never the viewer.

Who it's for

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

Pricing and guarantees

Founding Partner 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. Full details on pricing.

We put three promises in writing: a booked-appointment target for your first 30 days of ads, a reply to every lead in under 60 seconds, and delivery on schedule.

Questions

How much should a Cedar Rapids business spend on Facebook ads?

Most businesses start at $1,000 to $2,000 a month, paid to Meta and separate from our fee. We'll suggest a number on the audit call based on your area and your offer.

Who owns my ad account?

You do. We work in it with partner access. If you leave, your ad account, page, pixel and leads stay with you.

How long until the ads work?

We aim to go live within 72 hours of getting access, but Meta reviews every ad first. The first few days are slow while Meta learns who responds, so we leave new ads alone for 72 hours unless something is broken.

Should I use a lead form or a landing page?

A lead form is quicker to fill out on a phone. A landing page lets people book a time right away. We pick based on your offer.

Do you run Google ads too?

Google and YouTube ads come with the Domination plan, from $5,000 a month. Our main plan focuses on Facebook and Instagram.

My ad account was restricted. Can you still help?

We'll look at it on the audit call. The booked-appointment guarantee needs an ad account in good standing, so we sort that out first.
