Ever Tried Facebook Ads and Got… Nothing?

You’re not alone. Too many Coulee Region businesses have thrown money at Facebook ads only to see crickets. The problem isn’t your business—it’s the way the ads are set up, targeted, and optimized.

That’s where Solid Lead Co. comes in. We make locally-targeted Facebook ads up to 50% more efficient—and we only charge a 10% management fee. No long contracts. No minimums.

Our approach works best for high-value, occasional-purchase services like:
🪨 Concrete repair & resurfacing
🏠 Roofing, siding & window replacement
🛠 Remodeling & renovations
🌳 Landscaping & outdoor living projects

Here’s how simple it is:

You set your budget (spend what makes sense for you)
We do everything else—from campaign setup to monitoring, optimization, and creative development
You watch your ad dollars go further—often enough to cover our fee entirely.

Stop wondering if Facebook ads work. Start seeing them actually bring in leads.

🐾 Adoptable Pet of the Week: Meet Molly! 🐾

Looking for a gentle soul to share your days with? Meet Molly, a 6.5-year-old Husky mix with the calmest personality you’ll ever find in her breed. She loves exploring the outdoors, going for walks, and spending time with her brother Herman. Staff describe her as curious, friendly, and calm—the perfect companion for someone who wants a loyal buddy without the high energy of a typical husky.

Molly does well with other dogs given proper introductions and would thrive in a home where she can be included in family life. She’s still working on her housetraining, but with a consistent schedule, she’ll get it down quickly.

If you’ve been waiting for a pup with a kind heart and gentle spirit, Molly may be the one. 💛
