Paid social ads in Handforth
Facebook and Instagram ads for Handforth businesses, managed from £69 a month. Our office is five minutes down the road in Wilmslow, so we know where your customers really come from. Fixed management fee, no long tie in. Ad spend is separate and stays entirely in your control.
A retail town with a working trade underneath
Handforth is two markets stacked on top of each other. Handforth Dean pulls shoppers in from a wide area, which means a lot of people pass through who never think of themselves as local. Behind that sits the quieter half of the town: joiners, electricians, garages, small industrial units and the sort of family firms that have never needed a marketing budget because word of mouth did the job.
Both halves can advertise well, but not in the same way. A retail or hospitality business wants reach and a reason to visit this week. A trade wants to be the name that comes to mind when the boiler finally gives up. We build those as different campaigns because they need different audiences, different copy and different measures of success.
Build my planPaid social packages.
Which package fits depends on what you sell. A trade testing the water is usually fine on Starter, meaning one campaign, one audience and creative you already own. Retailers, and anyone whose offer changes month to month, tend to need Growth, the one most clients pick, because a single audience tells you nothing about the alternatives. That tier carries three ad sets, three creative variations, audience testing and basic retargeting. Pro is for businesses with real volume: five variations, a retargeting structure, lead forms, creative direction and landing page advice. Ad spend is separate on all three.

What we need from you to start
Getting a campaign live is quicker than most people expect, and the delay is almost always on the client side. To move fast we need four things: admin access to your Facebook page and ad account, a clear offer you are happy to put in writing, a rough idea of the area you actually serve, and some usable photographs.
That last one matters more than the rest. Phone footage of real work, real premises or real staff outperforms polished stock imagery in local advertising more often than not. If you have nothing, say so early. On Pro we give creative direction so you know what to shoot before you waste a weekend on it.

Five minutes from your door
We are based at 34 Altrincham Rd in Wilmslow, which is a short run south from Handforth. That proximity does real work rather than decorating a website. It means we understand that a Handforth catchment naturally leans towards Cheadle Hulme and Bramhall as much as it does towards Wilmslow, and that a lazy twenty mile radius pours money into parts of Manchester that will never drive out to you.
Our approach is deliberately open: campaigns are built using AI for speed, refined by experts for quality. The tools handle the heavy lifting on structure and copy variants. A person decides what is worth running.

Judging whether the money is working
You do not need to be an advertiser to hold a supplier to account. Ask for cost per result rather than reach, since reach flatters everybody. Watch frequency, because once the same person has seen an ad too often the returns fall away. Check whether clicks land on a page that repeats the promise made in the ad. And look at the trend over three months rather than the noise inside three days.
We report on those points every month in language you can repeat to your accountant. What we will never do is guarantee a number of leads, because that promise is not one anybody can honestly keep.

When we would tell you not to bother
01
Paid social is not right for everything, and it is cheaper to hear that now than after three months of spend. If your product is bought only at the moment of crisis, a burst pipe or a locked door, search advertising will usually beat a feed ad because the customer is actively looking. If you have no offer beyond your name, the ads will struggle, since nobody stops scrolling for a logo. And if enquiries arrive but nobody answers the phone for two days, no amount of targeting will save the numbers.
02
We would rather point that out at the start and lose the sale than take a monthly fee for something that was never going to fit. Where paid social does suit the business, we say so plainly and explain which package makes sense.

Covering Handforth and the towns around it
Most Handforth firms sell across the border in both directions, so we run paid social for businesses in Wilmslow, Cheadle Hulme and Bramhall as well, plus wider county coverage on our paid social ads Cheshire page. The service in full is set out on our paid social advertising page, and the complete town list lives under areas. If you need a website or Google Ads alongside it, both run on the same fixed fee model.

Frequently asked questions
Is there a minimum contract?
No long tie in. The packages run month to month, which keeps the pressure on us to be worth keeping. If you want to pause over a quiet spell, tell us and we will stop the spend rather than let it drift.
Can you target shoppers around Handforth Dean?
Yes. We can build audiences around a specific area rather than a whole town, which suits businesses that benefit from retail park footfall. It works best paired with an offer worth acting on that day rather than general brand awareness.
My trade business is not very visual. Will social ads still work?
Often yes. Trades do well with before and after photos, short clips of a finished job and clear service area messaging. The creative does not need to be beautiful, it needs to be recognisable and specific.
Who pays for the actual advertising?
You do, directly to Meta on a card you control. Our £69 to £249 monthly fee covers management only. Ad spend is separate, which keeps the two costs honest and easy to compare.
How quickly can we be live?
Usually within a few working days of getting account access, an offer and some creative. The slowest part is almost always waiting on images, so having a few good photos ready speeds everything up.
