Intro

Are you struggling to get quality leads that actually convert with your Facebook ads? Many home improvement businesses face the same challenge. But what if there was a better way to make Facebook ads work for you?

In this post, I’ll share the unique 6-step Facebook ad strategy we use at Upper Hand Marketing to generate outstanding results. It’s our go-to method for helping home improvement business clients get more bookings and grow their companies — making over £100,000 in just 3 months from small budgets of £500/month. Whether you’re just starting with Facebook ads or looking to improve your existing campaigns, this simple, step-by-step guide will show you how to target the right people, create ads that convert, and track your results.

By the end, you’ll know exactly how to use Facebook ads to get real results for your home improvement business.

Why Facebook Ads Are a Game-Changer for Home Improvement Companies

When it comes to finding home improvement services, people often turn to Google or trade directories. However, these platforms can be limiting. Customers are typically focused on comparing prices, and the options can look very similar, making it harder for any one company to stand out.

On the other hand, Facebook ads give you the chance to connect with potential customers before they even start comparing prices. With over 3 billion monthly active users on Facebook, you have access to a huge audience, and the platform's advanced targeting tools help you reach people who may not yet be actively searching for services but are open to discovering your business.

The beauty of Facebook ads is that they allow you to showcase your company’s personality and values through authentic, high-quality content like video ads. This helps build trust and credibility with potential clients, long before they’ve had a chance to look at competitors. As a result, it’s easier to differentiate your business and focus on the value you offer, rather than just competing on price.

Step 1: Create an Irresistible Offer That Demands Attention

When running Facebook ads for your home improvement business, the offer you present is crucial to its success. Many business owners default to the familiar "free quote" or "free consultation" offers, but these often fail to attract the right kind of leads. A free quote doesn’t carry enough value to motivate someone to make a purchase. More often than not, it attracts time-wasters—people who aren't genuinely interested in buying, just looking for a freebie.

So, how do you create an offer that truly drives conversions?

The best offers tie directly to a purchase, providing something valuable that prospects can only redeem when they decide to move forward with their home improvement project. This not only creates a sense of urgency but also shows your prospects that you value their commitment. The goal is to offer something that makes people want to choose your business—not just because of the freebie, but because your offer genuinely enhances their home upgrade experience.

1) Tangible Bonuses
When creating offers, providing tangible bonuses tied directly to the purchase can be a powerful way to stand out. Not only does it make the offer more appealing, but it shows you’re going the extra mile to provide real value—something customers can feel good about redeeming. This type of authenticity makes your business feel more trustworthy and genuine, which potential customers truly appreciate.

Instead of offering something vague like a "free consultation," provide a bonus related to your service that they can only redeem upon making a purchase. 

Here are a few examples of offers that work well:

• Flooring: A free flooring cleaning kit with every order.

• Landscaping: A garden maintenance kit with tools and sprayers.

• Roofing: A free gutter cleaning kit with every roofing job.

• Fencing: Solar-powered fence lights with every fencing project.

• Window Fitting: A complimentary window cleaning kit.

These offers not only sound appealing but also provide something tangible that customers can use and appreciate, increasing the perceived value of your service.

2) Discounts
While tangible bonuses are highly effective, discounts are still a solid option—especially when tied directly to a purchase. Offering a small discount or a percentage off can be enticing for prospects looking for immediate value. Discounts work best when they align with the overall perceived value of your service, ensuring that your ad image/video and offer both stand out from competitors.

The key is that both bonuses and discounts should be framed in a way that shows clear value tied to the purchase. This will help attract serious prospects who are ready to move forward with their project.

3) Create Urgency
To maximize the effectiveness of your offer, create a sense of urgency. Let your prospects know that the offer is available for a limited time or only to a limited number of customers. This tactic will encourage quick action and prompt prospects to fill out your lead form or contact you right away. For example, you could say, "Only 10 offers available!" or "Book by the end of the month to claim this free bonus!" 

Summary:

• Tangible Bonuses: Offer something of real value tied to the purchase to increase perceived value.

• Discounts: A secondary option that can be effective when tied directly to a purchase.

• Create urgency: Make sure the offer is limited to increase action and encourage quick decision-making.

Step 2: Create a Scroll-Stopping Video Ad That Makes Your Business Stand Out

The ad creative is the first thing your prospects see, and it needs to grab their attention right away. Over the years, I’ve tested many types of ads, including image-based ones that are commonly used by home improvement businesses. But here’s the reality: image ads didn’t attract the high-ticket customers I was aiming for. High-ticket prospects are looking for trust and authenticity, and that’s something image ads struggle to convey.

So, what works better? Video ads—especially TikTok-style videos.

Why Video Ads Work

Video ads are far more effective in building trust with high-ticket clients. Unlike image ads, which can feel impersonal, video ads allow you to showcase your personality, expertise, and the real people behind your business. Trust is critical when someone is willing to spend a significant amount of money, and video ads do a fantastic job of conveying that trust quickly.

For example, I used image ads for a flooring company for two months, generating a small amount of quality leads. But when we switched to TikTok-style video ads, the results were night and day. We instantly secured two sales worth around £6,000, and after refining the video, our next campaign generated £30,000 from just a £500 ad spend.

Here’s why this shift worked so well:

1. Featuring Real People: Authenticity is key. Use real people in your videos, preferably the business owner, to create a connection with your audience. People trust people, not logos, so showing the face behind the brand is essential.

2. Keeping It Short and Punchy: High-ticket clients don’t have time to watch long, drawn-out videos. Keep your videos concise, ideally under 60 seconds, and focus on the main qualities and benefits of your service. Share behind-the-scenes glimpses, walk prospects through a job, or offer valuable tips.

3. Showcasing Your Expertise: Your audience wants to know they’re in good hands. Demonstrate your knowledge and passion in the video. This reassures prospects that you’re an expert in your field, and it gives them confidence in choosing you for their project.

4. Adding Visual Appeal: Grab attention and maintain engagement by incorporating eye-catching subtitles, especially since many viewers watch videos without sound. Also, use B-roll clips to break up the video and keep it visually dynamic.

5. Ending with a Clear Call to Action: Finish your video with a friendly, straightforward call to action. Whether it’s filling out a form, calling you, or visiting your website, make it clear what you want the viewer to do next.

Summary

• Switch from image ads to dynamic TikTok-style videos to build trust, showcase your expertise, and engage high-ticket prospects. 

• Keep the content short, authentic, and informative. 

• End with a clear call to action to guide your prospects toward the next step.

  
  

Step 3: Write Ad Copy That Makes Them Need to Know More

Once your ad creative and offer are nailed down, the next step is writing ad copy that grabs attention, builds trust, and drives action. Great visuals might stop the scroll — but it’s the copy that sells the click.

There are three key parts of your Facebook ad copy to get right:

• Primary Text (above the image or video)

• Headline (under the media, next to your CTA button)

• Description (optional text that sometimes appears under the headline)

Let’s break them down with this as our example:

1. Primary Text (The Main Body Copy)

This is the main paragraph (or set of paragraphs) that appears above your image or video in the ad. It’s where you do the bulk of your storytelling — from hooking attention to presenting the offer, overcoming objections, building trust, and finally, driving action.

The examples below come from real ads we ran for a flooring company, but the structure and principles apply to all home improvement businesses.

Start with a Strong Hook

The first line (your hook) is the most important. If your audience doesn’t connect with it instantly, they’ll keep scrolling.

Here are a few hook styles that work especially well for home improvement companies:

• Question Hook
  “Are you looking for premium flooring at the best possible price?”
  Qualifies the right person immediately — someone who values quality but is budget-conscious.

• Call-Out Hook
  “London homeowners — we’ve got something special for you.”
  Simple, direct, and highly relevant to local audiences.

• If-Then Hook
  “If you're after premium flooring without overpaying, then keep reading.”
  Confident and clear — helps filter in serious buyers.

• Value-Led Hook
  “Get up to £500 off premium flooring this month only!”
  Immediately shows what’s in it for them.
  

Follow with Benefits and Proof

Once you’ve got their attention, support your offer with real, tangible benefits. Use short lines, bullet points, and light emoji use to keep the content skimmable. Focus on what they get and why it matters.

Example structure:

Transform your home with stunning flooring and take advantage of free upgrades this month only! 🎁

👀 We’re looking for 10 homeowners for our ‘Spring Style’ Offer, including:
✅ 10% Off All Fitting
✅ Free Flooring Cleaning Kit With Every Order
✅ Complimentary Design Consultation & Quote

Our expert craftsmen bring decades of experience and deliver results that exceed expectations.
⚡ Hassle-free service with quick turnaround times
🎨 Wide selection of premium flooring (LVT, carpet & more)
😊 5-star customer satisfaction — we care about lasting relationships

🚨 This is a limited offer and operates on a first come, first served basis — book now before the spots are gone!

This type of structure works well because:

• It highlights urgency and scarcity (e.g., 10 spots only)

• It clearly communicates tangible benefits (discounts, freebies, expert fitting)

• It addresses objections like trust and convenience

• It’s readable and skimmable thanks to spacing and visuals
  

End with a Clear Call to Action (CTA)

The CTA is what turns interest into actual leads. Don’t assume the next step is obvious — tell them exactly what to do, and make it feel easy and rewarding.

Here are some effective CTA examples for flooring/home services:

• “Hit ‘Learn More’ to book your free quote – it takes 30 seconds.👇”

• “Tap below to grab your discount before the 10 spots are gone.👇”

• “Tap ‘Learn More’ to book your free appointment and secure the offer!👇”

A great CTA should:

• Match the tone of your ad (confident, clear, and helpful

• Remind people what they’re getting

• Create urgency or exclusivity

• Tie directly to the button shown (e.g., “Learn More,” “Book Now”)
  

Don't leave the action vague — you want readers to feel like clicking is the obvious next move.

2. Headline (Up to 40 Characters)

The headline sits under your creative, next to your CTA button. It’s short, punchy, and designed to either restate your offer or trigger action.

Strong headline examples:

• 🎉 CLAIM FLOORING OFFER (10 Spots Only!)

• 🔥 LIMITED-TIME FLOORING DISCOUNT

• Get Up To £500 Off Flooring Today! 💷

• ✅ Book Your Free Consultation Now

Avoid being clever or abstract here — clarity always beats creativity.

3. Description (Optional)

This is the small line of text that may appear under your headline depending on the placement. It’s not always visible, so don’t rely on it — but if shown, it can reinforce trust and push hesitant buyers over the edge.

Examples of high-performing descriptions:

• ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rated

• ⭐ 5.0/5.0 Rated - 89 Reviews

Think of the description as your credibility booster. If someone’s on the fence, this can be the subtle nudge that earns the click.

Summary

• Hook readers with ad copy that sparks curiosity and makes them want to know more.

• Keep the structure tight — start strong, list benefits clearly, and finish with a confident call to action.

• Use short, direct headlines and optional credibility boosts to increase clicks and trust.
  

Step 4: Set Up Your Campaigns to Maximise Every Penny You Spend

1) Campaign Level Setup

At the campaign level, the first thing you want to do is choose your Campaign Objective. For this type of ad — where you’re focused on lead generation — always select Lead Generation. This objective is key for finding the people who are actively looking to make a purchase. It also gives you the most control over the outcome once someone fills out the lead form.

You have two primary options when it comes to budgeting:

• Campaign Budget Optimization (CBO): This is great if you want Facebook to automatically distribute your budget across ad sets based on their performance. If you're testing different targeting or creative, CBO helps ensure your budget is spent on the highest-performing options.

• Ad Set Budget: I prefer to keep things simple with an Ad Set Budget, as it gives you full control over how much you spend on each ad set. This setup works well when you're targeting specific audiences and want to allocate your budget directly.

If you choose Ad Set Budget, this is where you’ll manually set the amount you want to spend on your lead generation campaign. For a relatively small home improvement business, I recommend starting with at least £500/month Meta ad spend for optimal performance — that’s how I’ve been able to generate results like £30,000+ in sales for my clients with a relatively small budget.

2) Ad Set Level Setup

Now, let’s move to the Ad Set Level, which is where you’ll set up your targeting, budget, and placements. The first key decision at this level is to use an Instant Lead Form, which is the best option for getting leads quickly. This form is easy to set up, and it’s perfect for home improvement businesses looking to gather lots of leads. You can always test landing pages later, but starting with Instant Forms is a smart way to collect high volumes of leads efficiently.

You’ll also want to set your performance goal to Maximum Conversions. This will help Facebook optimize for the highest number of conversions (leads) within your specified budget.

Regarding Dynamic Creative, I typically don’t turn this on. I prefer to focus on creating a small number of highly effective video ads, rather than relying on Facebook’s algorithm to automatically test multiple images and copy variations.

Audience Targeting: For targeting, I use Advantage+ Audience. The algorithm has gotten so good at finding the right people for your ad, so all you need to do is make sure that the ad copy and creative are tailored to the customers you want to reach. Then, let Facebook do the work of finding the right audience for you.

For location targeting, you’ll want to select the area where your business operates. Typically, I target within a 15-20 km radius, but you can adjust this based on your service area.

Additionally, I recommend setting the minimum age to 25, since younger individuals are less likely to have the disposable income or own homes in need of flooring services.

For placements, use Advantage+ Placements. This allows Facebook to automatically test different placements (Feed, Stories, etc.) and stop wasting budget on underperforming ones. It’s an easy way to ensure your ads reach the right audience in the most effective spaces.

3) Ad Level Setup

Finally, at the Ad Level, this is where you’ll add your ad creative and set up your primary text, headline, description, and call-to-action.

If your business has an Instagram page linked to your Facebook account, ensure you connect it here to run ads on both platforms.

For creative, I recommend video ads. I prefer using video because it’s far more engaging than static images. When uploading your video, be sure to select a thumbnail that’s eye-catching and represents your business well.

I recommend turning off “Multi-Advertiser Ads” (which is checked automatically) to avoid showing up next to your competitors. You don’t want your ads competing in the same space as similar services.

Now, for the ad copy:

• Enter your primary text, headline, and description based on the structure we discussed earlier (engaging hook, benefits, social proof, and clear call-to-action).

• I always use the "Learn More" button as my call-to-action. This is less aggressive than a "Buy Now" or “Book Now” button and encourages people to learn more without feeling pressured. Plus, it’s an easy next step for people who are interested but not yet ready to commit.

For Advantage+ Creative, leave all the enhancements on. These allow Facebook to automatically adjust the creative for the best results. It won't hurt your ad’s performance and gives Facebook more flexibility to optimize.

Summary

• Choose the Lead Generation objective and use Instant Forms to collect high-quality leads quickly.

• Set targeting with Advantage+ Audience, use video ads, and let Facebook optimize placements for best results.

• Stick to a simple setup, start with £500/month, and focus on control and clarity across each level of your campaign.

Step 5: Build Lead Forms That Turn Clicks Into Real Opportunities

Now, let’s break down how to create a high-converting lead form. Here’s your checklist for success, with a lead form that generated a 60x ROAS as our example:

1. A Simple, Engaging Greeting

Start your lead form with a short, but effective greeting. It should:

• Call out the prospect: Make it feel personal and relevant.

• Clearly state what they can expect: Reassure them that they’re in the right place and that the next step will be valuable.

• End with a subtle urgency or scarcity line: This motivates the lead to act now, before it’s too late.

Your goal here is not to introduce the offer (they’ve already seen that in the ad copy), but to confirm what they’re signing up for and nudge them to continue.

2. 2-3 Qualifying Questions to Filter Out Timewasters

Add a few qualifying questions to separate genuinely interested leads from those just browsing. Without these questions, you risk attracting unqualified leads, and Meta’s AI might optimize for the wrong audience, lowering your lead quality over time.

While you might be tempted to leave the form as open as possible to get more leads, tightening it up will actually improve conversion rates and ensure your follow-ups are spent on serious prospects.

Here are a few great qualifying questions to consider:

• Do you own or rent your home? (Homeowners are more likely to invest in home improvement projects.)

• What is your postcode? (Helps filter leads who aren’t truly interested in committing.)

• When are you looking to get started? (Identifies urgency and buying intent.)

• What is your budget? (Gives you an idea of the lead's seriousness and financial capability.)
  
  

3. A Strong Final Message to Drive Action

Once the prospect has filled out the form, the last step is guiding them to take immediate action. For the ads I run, I typically urge leads to book an appointment right away and provide a link to a booking calendar.

However, if your process involves a follow-up call or message, clearly state what they can expect next. For example:

• "Keep an eye out for a text with next steps!"

• "We’ll be calling you shortly — expect a call from [specific phone number] to avoid missing it!"

This step is crucial because it helps prevent leads from going cold and increases the likelihood of closing the deal.

That’s all you need to create a winning lead form! It’s simple, but following these steps ensures that your ads don’t just generate leads — they generate high-quality ones. With a strong ad setup in place, this process will help you maximize conversions and achieve real results.

Summary

• Start with a simple, engaging greeting that reassures the lead they’re in the right place and encourages them to take the next step.

• Use 2–3 qualifying questions (like ownership status or timeline) to filter for serious prospects and improve lead quality.

• Finish with a strong final message that sets clear expectations and directs the lead to take immediate action.

Step 6: Configure A Follow-Up System That Converts Every Lead

1) Automating Lead Follow-Ups for Maximum Conversions

The key to converting leads into booked appointments is quick, personalized follow-up. Most businesses lose leads simply because they don’t follow up fast enough. A strong follow-up system is just as important as the ad that brought in the lead in the first place. Without it, even the best ads won’t drive results.

Here’s how to set up your automated lead follow-ups for success:

Best Practices for Automated Lead Follow-Ups

✔ Respond as Quickly as Possible – Speed is critical. The faster you respond, the more likely your lead will stay engaged. A quick response shows you’re proactive and trustworthy.

✔ Use a Mix of SMS, Email, and Calls – Different leads respond to different channels. Make sure you’re reaching your prospects where they’re most likely to engage.

✔ Personalize Your Messages – Avoid generic messages. Always use the lead's name and refer to the specific service they inquired about to make them feel valued.

✔ Send Timely Reminders – People get distracted. Set up automated reminders to keep your leads engaged and reduce the risk of no-shows.

✔ Be Persistent but Not Pushy – Follow up multiple times over a few days to stay top of mind, but don’t overwhelm them. A gentle nudge is all it takes.

✔ Track and Adjust – Continuously monitor your follow-up messages to identify what works best, and adjust your strategy to improve your results.

High-Performing Automated Lead Follow-Up Example

Timing and personalization are critical when following up with leads. Here's an example of a proven SMS sequence that helped one of our clients generate over £90,000 in converted jobs. It’s simple but incredibly effective:

SMS 1 – 5 Minutes After Form Submission:

"Hi {{contact.first_name}}, this is {{custom_values.your_name}} from {{custom_values.company_name}}. You showed interest in our offer from our ad on Facebook! To claim your spot for our {{custom_values.current_offer}} offer, schedule an appointment at our Winslow shop by clicking here: {{custom_values.schedule_page}}.
PS: There are only 5 spots left!"

Email – 4 Minutes After First SMS:

"Hi {{contact.first_name}},
Thank you for filling out the form to claim your spot for our {{custom_values.current_offer}} Offer!
The next step is to book an appointment at our Winslow shop by clicking here.
If you can’t make it to the shop, no worries! Let us know where you’re at with your flooring project and we’ll figure out how we can help.
All the best,
{custom_values.your_name}}"

SMS 2 – 20 Minutes After First SMS:

"Just checking in! I know you're probably busy. If you have any questions or need help with booking, don’t hesitate to reach out. I’m here to help!"

Why This Sequence Works:

• Immediate Engagement – The first SMS goes out within 5 minutes of the lead filling out the form, leveraging their immediate interest.

• Clear Call to Action – The offer is clearly presented with easy steps to claim it, making the next action obvious for the lead.

• Personalized Approach – Using the lead’s name and keeping the tone friendly and helpful creates a conversational feel rather than a pushy sales message.

• Urgency – Mentioning limited spots encourages the lead to act quickly.

• Multi-Channel Follow-Up – Combining SMS and email increases the chances of your lead seeing and acting on your message.
  

Testing & Optimizing Your Follow-Up System

The key to long-term success is testing and optimizing your follow-up messages. Experiment with different timing, phrasing, and channels to see what works best for your audience. Small changes can lead to big improvements in your conversion rates!

2) Creating an Effective Booking System

Once your follow-up system is in place, the next step is to make booking an appointment easy and seamless. The easier it is for leads to schedule, the more likely they are to follow through. Here are different types of booking systems and tips for setting one up:

Types of Calendar Booking Systems:

1. Showroom Appointments – Perfect for flooring shops, kitchen and bathroom showrooms or other product-based businesses. Allow leads to visit your location and see your products in person.

2. In-Home Quotes – Ideal for all home improvement businesses without a showroom. Let leads book a time for an on-site visit.

3. 5-Minute Intro Calls – A brief, initial chat to qualify leads further and assess their needs before booking a full appointment.

Tips for an Effective Booking System:

✔ Keep the Process Simple – The easier and clearer the booking process, the more likely leads will complete it. Minimize friction wherever possible.

✔ Use Automated Confirmations & Reminders – Automatically confirm bookings and send reminder messages to reduce no-shows.

✔ Offer Flexible Scheduling Options – Provide a range of appointment types, such as showroom visits, home consultations, or quick phone calls, to accommodate different preferences.

✔ Follow Up on Missed Appointments – Implement a system to re-engage no-shows and encourage them to reschedule.

✔ Test Your Booking System – Go through the process yourself to make sure it works smoothly and identify potential obstacles for your leads.

3) Automating Confirmation & Reminders

To reduce no-shows and keep leads engaged, it’s essential to have an automated confirmation and reminder system in place. Here’s what I recommend:

✅ Instant Confirmation – Send an immediate confirmation email and text after the booking, including all relevant details like date, time, and location.
✅ Reminder Messages – Automate reminder messages 24 hours and 2 hours before the appointment to ensure your leads don’t forget.

This simple but powerful system ensures your leads are accountable and prepared, helping increase your close rate.

Why This All Matters

A strong follow-up system and a streamlined booking process turn an interested lead into a paying customer. Without these systems in place, you risk losing the leads you’ve worked so hard to attract. By automating and optimizing your follow-ups and booking system, you ensure that every lead is nurtured and has the best chance of converting.

When these systems are set up and running efficiently, your business will experience higher conversion rates, more booked appointments, and ultimately, more sales.
