My boss told me to stop running Facebook ads for our local bakery and focus on Google My Business.

I thought he was wrong because our ads were getting clicks, but after three months our GMB listing brought in way more actual customers. Anyone else see better results from local SEO over paid social for a small business?

Wait, you ran Facebook ads for three whole months?

Three months straight?! That's a serious chunk of time and money. I tried it for two weeks once and felt my wallet crying. I can't even imagine the ad spend, it must have been huge. You have to be really patient to wait that long for results.

Ever wonder if you're just testing the wrong audience? I spent way less by focusing on one small group that really clicked, and that's what finally turned things around for me.
