Top 3 Facebook Boosting Tips for Local Posts

Best For: Any local business using Facebook—cleaners, lawn care, med spas, restaurants, dentists

Want more people in your area to see your posts? Boost them.

Boosting a Facebook post means paying to reach more people nearby. It’s simple and affordable—but only if you do it right.

Use it to:

• Fill empty spots on your calendar

• Promote a special deal

• Share a new service or big announcement

1. Start with your best post

Find a post that already got attention—likes, comments, or shares. Don’t waste money on a post no one cared about.

✅ Use photos or videos

✅ Canva is a powerful tool to help design posts

✅ Use ChatGPT to help create your post

2. Target your local audience

In boost settings, choose:

• Zip codes near you

• Age range of your ideal customer

• Interests related to your service (like “homeowners,” “parents,” “spa lovers”)

3. Use a call-to-action button

Pick a button that tells people what to do next:

• “Call Now” – If you want the phone to ring

• “Send Message” – If you want people to ask questions

• “Learn More” – To send them to your website

3 Action Steps:

1. Choose a high-performing photo/video post and click "Boost Post."

2. Target your zip codes and set a $10–$20 budget.

3. Add a clear button and track how many clicks or calls you get.
