Tired of Meta leads who never answer?
The targeting is rarely the problem. What happens in the ten minutes after someone taps your form is the problem, and that part is not the ad platform's job.
A lead who gets a personal reply in sixty seconds knows who you are when you call. A lead who gets nothing for a day does not, and that is the one who does not pick up.
The problem
Most agencies optimize for the wrong things
You pay thousands per month for Meta ads. The agency sends a beautiful report showing clicks, impressions, and leads.
But when you call those leads? No answer. Wrong numbers. People who don't remember filling out your form.
Because most agencies optimize for cheap form fills, not actual customers. They chase metrics that look good in reports but don't pay your bills.
What it looks like
Here is the pipeline that made me stop trusting lead volume
This is one Jacksonville contractor's board on one day. It is not proof of a universal law, and I am not going to pretend one screenshot is a study. But it is the clearest picture I have of why "we got you 161 leads" and "we got you work" are different sentences.
Read the source line on each card. The 161 in New and the 11 in Contacted are almost all Facebook lead ads, and they carry no deal value, because nobody has got far enough with them to put a number on one. The three in Won came in via Google and via the website, at $16,000, $17,000 and $45,000. Same business, same month, same ad budget. The difference is which lead knew who they were contacting.
TB Construction CRM · customer names blurred in the original
This goes out on submit, before anyone has looked at the lead. It uses their name, names the job they asked about, names the person who will call, and commits to a window. That is the whole trick: when the call comes, they are expecting it. This is the template the system sends, shown with a sample name.

What I take from it
Cheap leads are not free. Every one of those 161 costs someone time to work, and a lead that arrives with no source, no value, and no idea who you are costs more time than it is worth. So the work is not just buying attention. It is making sure the source is recorded, the reply is instant and personal, and the deal value lives on the card, so at the end of the month you can tell which channel paid and which one filled an inbox.
How I wire that is specific to your business and it is the part you are actually paying for. But the shape of it is above, and you can go and look at whether your own board can answer the same question.
The approach
Six moves. Revenue, not vanity metrics.
Advantage+ with Conversion Leads
Most agencies miss this setting. I run Conversion Leads optimization: Meta's algorithm that finds people likely to become actual customers, not just form fillers.
It costs more per lead, which is why it gets skipped when the monthly report is judged on lead count.
Book calls, not form fills
I don't collect contact info and hope they answer the phone. I schedule consultations directly. If they won't book a call, they weren't buying anyway.
Higher intent. Better qualified. No more chasing ghosts.
Manual phone entry only
No autofill. No one-click submit. If someone won't type their own phone number, they're not serious. This filters out tire-kickers before they waste your time.
Yes, fewer leads. But the ones you get actually answer the phone.
Target people already interested
Website visitors. Past leads. People who engaged with your content. I build custom audiences and lookalikes so you're not wasting money on cold traffic.
Retargeting costs less and converts better. Always.
Track every step of the funnel
PageView, ViewContent, InitiateCheckout, Contact, Lead, Schedule. I track custom events across the entire funnel so Meta learns what actions lead to sales.
More data means better optimization, which means lower cost per customer.
Upload conversion data back to Meta
When a lead becomes a customer, I send that data back to Meta. The algorithm learns who actually signs contracts and finds more people like them.
This is how you scale profitably instead of burning money.
Meta ads plus CRM plus automation plus landing pages: a lead system that runs while you sleep. If you want the whole thing built, I do that too.

Local expertise
Built for the Miami market
Miami is its own animal. Bilingual audiences, seasonal tourism swings, luxury-conscious buyers, and a mobile-first population scrolling Instagram on I-95.
Generic ad strategies don't survive here. I target by neighborhood, language preference, and local buying behavior: Brickell condo buildings, Coral Gables zip codes, Miami Beach hotel districts.
English and Spanish creative that resonates culturally, not just linguistically. Budgets and messaging adjusted for peak tourist season versus local summer months. Every ad, landing page, and form built for thumb-scrolling mobile users.

FAQ
Meta ads in Miami, answered
How much do Meta Ads cost in Miami?
For Miami businesses, expect to invest $1,500-$3,000/month minimum in ad spend to see meaningful results. In competitive South Florida markets like real estate, luxury goods, or construction, budget $5,000-$10,000/month to compete effectively. My management fee is 20% of ad spend with a $1,000/month minimum, so your total investment starts around $3,000/month. Miami's market is competitive but highly lucrative. The right targeting can reach neighborhoods like Coral Gables, Brickell, and Miami Beach with precision.
How long before I see results from Facebook ads?
You'll see your first leads within 24-48 hours of launch. Meta's algorithm needs 2-4 weeks to learn your ideal audience and optimize delivery. Most Miami clients see profitable, scalable campaigns by week 4-6. The learning phase is critical: pause campaigns or make major changes too early and you reset the algorithm. I recommend a 90-day commitment to allow proper testing, optimization, and scaling. South Florida's diverse demographics mean it takes time to find which neighborhoods, age groups, and interests convert best for your specific offer.
What industries work best with Meta Ads in Miami?
Meta Ads work hardest for service businesses in South Florida: construction and remodeling, luxury real estate, med spas and aesthetics, legal services, home services like HVAC, roofing, and landscaping, e-commerce and retail, and event venues. Miami's high smartphone usage and visual culture make Instagram especially powerful. If your business has strong before-and-after visuals or lifestyle appeal, Meta Ads fit. The platform reaches Miami's mobile-first audience before they even know they need your service.
Do you require long-term contracts?
No long-term contracts. I work month-to-month. I do recommend a 90-day commitment for optimal results because Meta's algorithm needs time to learn and optimize. Cancel before 90 days and you cut off campaigns before they hit their stride. Cost per lead usually falls between month one and month three as the algorithm learns, though I am not going to quote you a percentage I cannot show you the measurement for. After the first 90 days, you can cancel anytime with 30 days' notice. I prefer earning your business every month over locking you into a contract you don't want.
How is working with you different from running ads myself?
You could boost posts and run basic campaigns yourself. But you'd be missing: Conversion Leads optimization, the setting that finds serious buyers instead of tire-kickers, proper Pixel tracking and Conversions API setup, custom audience building and lookalike modeling, A/B testing frameworks for creative and copy, CRM integration for closed-loop attribution, and weekly optimization based on performance data. Most business owners waste thousands learning what I already know. I have spent years and hundreds of thousands in ad spend figuring out what works in Miami's market. You get that immediately instead of burning money on trial and error.
What's your fee structure for Meta Ads management?
20% of monthly ad spend, with a $1,000 minimum. Spend $5,000/month on ads and management is $1,000. Spend $10,000/month and management is $2,000. You pay Meta directly for ad spend through your own Ads Manager, and you pay me separately for strategy, creative, optimization, and reporting. Setup fee is $1,500 one-time and covers Pixel installation, audience research, campaign architecture, ad creative strategy, and landing page optimization. For Miami businesses I also offer package deals that bundle Meta Ads with website development or CRM integration, which often saves 20-30% versus buying services separately.
