Spending $500 on FB ads for LVP installs in Atlanta and getting jack shit

Down here in the Atlanta area, I dropped $500 on Facebook ads last month pushing our luxury vinyl plank installs, thinking it'd bring in some kitchen reno jobs. Got a couple clicks and one tire-kicker who bailed. Man, this marketing crap is brutal when you're just trying to book flooring gigs.

same boat here, threw money at IG ads for carpet jobs and ended up yelling at my phone.

hahaha, welcome to the club. i did the same with google ads for tile work and my wife almost left me over the bill.

facebook and google are ripping us off with these ads, especially for niche stuff like flooring.

don't do it, man. i wasted 300 on nextdoor for hardwood refinish and got spam calls instead.

yeah, feels your pain. atlanta market is saturated anyway.

totally get it, ads suck for us trades.

brutal, but hang in there.

wait till you see the analytics, it's all bots anyway lol.

i feel that frustration every ad cycle.

sucks, but we've all been there.

big tech hates small business, plain and simple.

my ad budget went poof on tiktok for epoxy floors, zero jobs.

hate to say it but yard signs work better than any ad.

yeah, digital marketing is a scam for flooring pros.

try door hangers instead, saved my ass last year.

man, that atlanta heat must make it worse, customers too busy sweating.

don't waste more cash, go old school networking.

big platforms are killing us independents.

try angi leads? nah, they're worse.

shut up and take my money? not for ads lol.

yeah, i commiserate, total waste.
