Facebook Ads for tutoring companies: questions
When should tutoring ads run?
Back to school, report cards and test seasons.
What offer works?
Free assessments.
Who should I target?
Parents in your area.
How much should tutoring companies spend on Facebook ads?
For most local businesses I suggest starting at roughly $1,500 to $2,000 a month in ad spend for one main offer, adjusted for your market size and customer value. Management is a separate flat fee.
Send me your website and where you are now. I will look at your account or plan personally and tell you what I would fix first, even if the answer is that Facebook Ads is not your next step.
