Google Ads capture demand. Facebook Ads create it ๐
They do two different jobs, and the best results come from understanding both.
Google Ads put you in front of people who are already searching for what you do. Someone types "roofer near me" and your business is right there. That's demand capture, and it's a great way to win jobs from people ready to go.
Facebook Ads reach homeowners before they start searching. Plenty of people have been thinking about a new driveway or a bathroom renovation for months but haven't taken the first step. Facebook puts your work in front of them while they're scrolling and gives them a reason to enquire. That's demand creation.
One catches the people already looking. The other grows the number of people who want your services in the first place.
If you've been relying on one, it's worth knowing what the other can do for your business.
