Digital Advertising: Google Ads & Social Media Ads

Forward Digital Marketing runs Google Ads and Facebook and Instagram ads for small businesses and organizations that want more calls, form fills, event turnout, and foot traffic. We set budgets that fit a small business and show you exactly what your money did.

This is for organizations that are ready to spend on advertising but do not want to guess, or have tried ads before and could not tell if they worked.

What Kind of Ads Do We Run?

  • Google Search Ads: appear at the top when someone searches for your service in your area
  • Facebook and Instagram Ads: reach people in your community by location and interest
  • Event and campaign promotion: short, focused pushes for a sale, an opening, a fundraiser, or hiring

How Does Ad Management Work?

  1. Set the goal. Calls, form fills, visits, or turnout. One clear measure of success.
  2. Build the campaign. Targeting, ad copy, and graphics made in-house.
  3. Track results. We connect your ads to the calls and forms they produce.
  4. Adjust monthly. We cut what is not working and put more behind what is.

How Much Should a Small Business Spend on Ads?

It depends on your market, your goal, and how competitive your service is in search. We recommend a starting budget after reviewing your business, start small to test, and grow the budget only when the numbers support it. Ad spend and management are quoted separately so you always know where your money goes.

The honest caveat: ads will not fix a weak website or an incomplete Google listing. If those need work, we will tell you to fix them first, because that is where your ad money would leak out.
