ArcosFacebook and Instagram ads for contractors
Arcos runs Facebook and Instagram ads from your own Page and ad account, and they reach homeowners before they search. They suit jobs a photo can sell. Part of the Arcos Ecosystem, quoted on a call.
Which trades it suits
People in the feed are not looking for you yet, so the ad has to show the result. That favors work with a clear before and after: pressure washing, landscaping, painting, a junk removal clear-out, a new fence or deck.
Pressure washing is not on Google's Local Services list, so Meta and Search ads are its two paid channels. Emergency work fits the feed less well. Someone who needs a tow now searches Google.
What happens after the tap
Feed leads are earlier in their decision than search leads, so the text back asks your questions first and turns away jobs below your minimum or outside your area before you drive anywhere.

What you own
Your Facebook Page, your Instagram account and your ad account stay in your name. You add Arcos as a partner in your Meta business settings, so no password changes hands, and you can remove us at any time. Meta charges the budget to your card. It never passes through us.
Questions
Do Facebook ads work for contractors?
They can, for jobs people plan and can picture. For emergencies, people search instead. We will not promise leads. We show you what the ads cost and what they bring in, and say plainly when the numbers do not work.
Facebook ads or Google Ads?
Google reaches people already searching for your service. Facebook and Instagram reach them earlier, before they search. If you run both, you choose how the budget splits: however performs best, a fixed split, or one platform to start.
Do I need a Facebook Page?
Yes. The ads run under your Page's name. If your Instagram account is connected to the Page, the Instagram ads can run under it too.
What photos do you need?
Real ones from your jobs: before and after pairs, finished work, the crew working, you on camera if you are willing. We plan around what you can actually send each week. What you send is what runs.
Who pays Meta, and do you take a cut?
You pay Meta directly, on your own card. The budget never passes through us and we add nothing to it. Management is quoted on the call and agreed in writing before any work starts.
