Alright, folks. Let’s start this day the right way. With a little Coulee goodness. 👇
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 Chunga! 🐾
Looking for a loyal, affectionate companion who’s just as happy lounging by your side as she is soaking up a little sunshine? Meet Chunga, a stunning 3-year-old long-haired beauty with a silky black and white coat and soulful green eyes.
Chunga came to La Crescent Animal Rescue after her former family could no longer give her the quiet attention she deserves. She’s a gentle, sweet soul who would thrive in a calm, low-key home—ideally as your one-and-only furry friend. She’s not a fan of loud noises or busy environments, but in the right setting, she’ll reward you with endless love and loyalty.
Her ideal match? Someone looking for a low-maintenance but deeply affectionate cat who will happily be your steady, purring shadow. 🐱✨
