# How much do Facebook ads cost for a cleaning company?

**Short answer:** Facebook ad costs vary with your audience size, location, season, competition and how engaging your creative and offer are. Instead of looking for a fixed price, set a test budget based on your break-even cost per lead (from your job value, margin and close rate), run it long enough to gather data, and scale only what produces booked jobs at a profitable cost.

## What drives the cost

| Factor | Effect |
| --- | --- |
| Audience size and location | Small, competitive areas can cost more per result |
| Season | Holiday and peak periods raise competition |
| Creative quality | Engaging creative usually lowers costs |
| Offer strength | Better offers convert more of the people you pay to reach |
| Lead form setup | More friction: fewer, better leads |

## Set your budget from your own numbers

1. Calculate customer lifetime gross profit (job value × jobs per customer × margin).
2. Multiply by your lead-to-customer rate to get break-even cost per lead.
3. Set a test budget that can produce enough leads to judge results.
4. Compare actual cost per lead and cost per booked job against break-even.

The [ROI calculator](https://localcleanersmarketing.com/resources/free-tools/) does this math in seconds.

## Judge by booked jobs

- Cost per lead is a starting signal
- Booking rate shows lead quality and follow-up speed
- Cost per booked job is the decision metric
- Recurring customers raise the value of every booking

## Frequently asked questions

Why are my Facebook leads cheap but not booking?

Very cheap leads often come from instant forms with no qualifying questions. Add one or two questions (service type, ZIP) and follow up faster.

Are Facebook ads cheaper than Google Ads?

Cost per click is often lower on Facebook, but Facebook leads are usually less ready to buy. Compare cost per booked job, not cost per click.
