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.
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.
Here’s what I was listening to when I wrote this email.👇

🐾 Pet of the Week: Osha 🐾
Meet Osha, a pup who has clearly mastered the art of mindfulness. While the rest of us are running around juggling to-do lists, Osha is here to remind us that sometimes the best thing you can do is find a sunny spot, rest your chin, and just be. 🌞🐶
Whether she’s gazing out the window in quiet reflection or simply soaking up the present moment, Osha’s calm presence is a gentle nudge to slow down and appreciate the little things. After all, life looks a lot brighter when you take it one peaceful head tilt at a time. 🐾✨
