Frequently Asked Questions

Is Facebook still worth it in 2026?

Yes for visual trades — roofing, remodeling, landscaping, painting. Less so for emergency-intent trades where Google captures the moment.

What targeting should I use?

Radius + broad interest, then let the algorithm learn. Layered demographic targeting underperforms on small budgets under $2k/mo.
