The problem it solves
Local businesses often waste money by showing ads to their current customers instead of reaching new potential customers.
How it makes money
Charge a fixed fee for the audit, with an option for ongoing management for a monthly fee.
Skills you need
Understanding of Facebook Ads, analytical skills to interpret ad performance data, and digital marketing strategies.
The market, and why this works now
Local coffee shop owners with fewer than 50 employees often struggle to optimize their Facebook ad spending. The recent changes in Facebook's ad targeting options allow for more granular audience segmentation, making it an ideal time to offer an ad audit service. The first revenue move could involve connecting with local business networks like the local Chamber of Commerce to promote the service. A significant constraint will be the initial capital required to cover the cost of ad tools and software subscriptions, which can impact cash flow in the early months.
