A studio service
Meta ad creative for plumbers.
Most plumbing ads lead with an emergency. That is the wrong platform for it — somebody with a burst pipe is typing into Google, not scrolling. Meta earns its money on the plumbing work people plan.
From $500 a month

N° 01What we do
We design the ads. We don't run them.
Worth being blunt about, because almost everyone else in this market sells campaign management. Agency pricing research is candid that creative is the biggest hidden cost in those quotes — most assume the client is supplying it. That gap is what this is.
01
You keep your Ads Manager
We never ask for account access, we don't touch your budget, and we don't take a percentage of spend. You get finished creative and the source files.
02
Works with whoever runs the account
Your in-house marketer, your agency, or you. We supply the assets and the copy variants; they load them. Agencies are a normal client for this, not a conflict.
03
Every placement, sized properly
Feed, Reels, Stories — square and vertical, safe areas respected, legible without sound. A resized square is not a Reel and performs like it.
04
Copy written with the creative
Headline, primary text and description drafted alongside the image, because an ad is one object. Handing over a picture and leaving the words to someone else is how a good image ends up under a bad promise.
N° 02The plumbing calendar
Four seasons, four different offers.
The most common failure in plumbing advertising is one set of creative running all year. The phone does not work like that, and neither should the ads.
01
Spring
Bathroom projects and fixture upgrades, while people are thinking about the house.
02
Summer
Outdoor plumbing, irrigation and the renovation window.
03
Autumn
Winterisation and water heater replacement before the cold exposes it.
04
Winter
Frozen pipe prevention, and the tank that is quietly on borrowed time.
N° 03What performs
The formats that earn their place.
01
Vertical, and the owner on camera
UGC-style 9:16 with the owner or lead tech talking to camera outperforms produced 16:9 by two to four times on click-through in this category. Meta's ranking rewards it and homeowners believe it. We cut, caption and frame it; you shoot it on a phone.
02
Before and after
A corroded tank next to a gleaming tankless unit — the single clearest before-and-after in the trades.
03
Click-to-call where it fits
It removes every step between the problem and the phone ringing, and it is one of the highest-converting formats in the trades. Not right for every offer — it is wrong for anything with a long consideration window — so we build both.
04
Local proof, not stock
Licence number, the neighbourhoods you actually cover, upfront pricing, and how fast you really answer.
05
Readable with the sound off
Most of this is watched muted. Captions burned in, the offer legible in the first frame, and nothing important riding on audio.
06
Planned work, not emergencies
Someone with a genuine emergency is typing into Google, not scrolling a feed. Meta earns its money on planned replacement with a predictable failure timeline. Urgency creative belongs on search.
N° 04Where it lands
The jobs worth building creative for.
Water heaters are the best Meta product in plumbing: they fail on a schedule, the replacement is planned, and the before-and-after photographs itself.

N° 05Peek inside
One ad, every placement.



The same plumbing ad at 1:1, 4:5 and 9:16 - feed, portrait feed and Stories, each sized properly rather than one square stretched three ways. Sample creative made to show the work: the technicians are generated and the jobs are not real, which is why nothing here is called a case study.
N° 06Investment
Every placement included. Ad spend is yours and stays yours.
4 ads a month
$500/mo
A deliberate entry rung. Enough to run one offer properly and keep it fresh, without committing to a programme before anything is proven.
- 4 ads a month, every placement
- Feed (1:1 and 4:5) and Stories/Reels (9:16)
- Headline and primary-text variants for each
- One seasonal angle at a time
- Editable source files
- Ad spend stays yours
8 ads a month
$850/mo
Enough creative to test two angles at once and swap before fatigue — which is the usual reason a working campaign quietly stops working.
- 8 ads a month, every placement
- Two angles running concurrently
- Seasonal set refreshed each quarter
- Copy variants for every ad
- Creative swapped before fatigue, not after
- Editable source files
12 ads a month
$1,200/mo
A full programme: enough volume that the account always has something new to test, across several offers and the whole calendar.
- 12 ads a month, every placement
- Multiple angles and offers
- Full seasonal calendar covered
- Copy variants for every ad
- Per-location versioning available
- Editable source files
So there's no confusion about what arrives.
What you get
- Finished image files, ready to upload — you don't need Photoshop or a designer
- Every size: square and portrait for the feed, vertical for Stories and Reels
- The words too — headline, body text and button label written for each ad
- Editable source files, so anything here can be changed later by anyone
- A new set each month, so the same picture isn't running for a year
What we don’t do
- We don't run your ads or touch your Ads Manager
- We don't take a cut of your ad budget — you pay Meta directly, as you do now
- We don't post to your page or reply to comments
- No contract or lock-in; stop whenever the work stops being useful
If what you actually need is someone to run the account and reply to messages, that's a social media manager, not this. We'll say so rather than sell you the wrong thing.
N° 07Questions
The answers we give most often.
- Can we do feed only, without Stories and Reels?
- Yes, at about 20% less — the vertical 9:16 is a separate layout with its own safe zones rather than the square resized, so it is genuinely extra work. We would talk you out of it for the visual trades though: landscaping, roofing and remodelling before-and-afters travel further in Reels than anywhere else in Meta.
- Can we buy one set rather than a monthly package?
- Yes — a one-off launch set of 6 ads is $600, sized for every placement, with no commitment. It is the right first step if you have never run paid creative before. Most people move to monthly once they see how fast a small local audience tires of the same image.
- Why is this more than a social media package?
- Because it is a different product. Around $750 a month for twelve posts across two platforms is the going rate for organic social — a photo and a caption, posted on a schedule. These are advertising assets: built to be tested against each other, sized per placement, written headline-first, and swapped before fatigue rather than after. Published benchmarks put ad creative at $100–300 an asset; we sit at the bottom of that.
- Do you run the campaigns?
- No, and we would rather say that here than on a call. We design the ads and write the copy; you or your agency load them and manage the spend. If you need someone to run the account we will happily point you at people who do that properly.
- What do I actually receive?
- Finished ads sized for every Meta placement, headline and primary-text variants for each, click-to-call and lead-form versions where they suit the offer, and the editable source files. Nothing is locked to us.
- Do you need photos of my work?
- Real photos beat anything we could invent, so yes where you have them — your trucks, your team, your installs. For plumbers, a corroded tank next to a gleaming tankless unit — the single clearest before-and-after in the trades. Where the shots do not exist yet we will tell you exactly what to take, and a phone is fine.
- How often should creative change?
- Ad fatigue is the usual reason a campaign that worked stops working, and it arrives sooner than most people expect on a tight local audience. The monthly package exists because swapping creative before performance drops is cheaper than diagnosing it afterwards.
- Can you work with our agency?
- Yes, and it is a common arrangement. Management agencies often quote a retainer that quietly assumes the client supplies creative. We are the part that fills that in, white-label if they prefer.
- Do you do Instagram as well as Facebook?
- Both, in the same set — they are not separate products. One Meta campaign distributes across Facebook, Instagram, Messenger and Audience Network, so every ad we deliver is sized for all of it. Anyone selling you an Instagram-only package for local lead generation is selling a narrower version of the same thing.
