Is there a Facebook ads agency in Northridge? + Thrive Media runs Facebook and Instagram campaigns for Northridge businesses from our Thousand Oaks studio. We average 4.2x ROAS, operate project-based (no retainer), and pair every campaign with a custom landing page and AI follow-up agent that responds in under 60 seconds. What's a good monthly ad spend for a Northridge business? + $1,500–$5,000/month in ad spend is the right starting band for most local service businesses in Northridge — enough to gather statistically meaningful data inside 2–3 weeks. We start lean, prove ROAS, then scale into winners. How is Thrive Media different from a traditional agency? + Traditional agencies charge $2,000–$5,000+/month management retainers plus a percentage of ad spend, and bill creative and landing pages separately. Thrive Media charges a flat project fee that includes strategy, creative, landing page, daily optimization, and the AI follow-up build. What ROAS should I expect for a Northridge service business? + Local service-business campaigns typically land between 3x and 6x ROAS once optimized. Our portfolio averages 4.2x. Sub-2x usually means a targeting, creative, or landing-page problem — not a Facebook problem. How long does it take to launch? + Campaigns are live within 1–2 weeks of kickoff. The first 2–3 weeks gather data; meaningful optimization starts inside the first month. Do you handle Instagram and Reels as well as Facebook? + Yes — every campaign runs across the full Meta placement set: Facebook feed, Instagram feed, Stories, Reels, and Audience Network. We let performance decide where budget lives. Will my ad leads be followed up automatically? + Yes — every lead captured by ads is contacted by an AI agent within 60 seconds, qualified, and booked onto your calendar. This is the single biggest reason our campaigns outperform local benchmarks. Do we keep the ad account and audiences if we stop working together? + Yes. The ad account, the audiences, the pixel data, and the creative are yours. No lock-in.
