- Creative testing so we know which ads work before scaling spend
- Pixel and Conversions API set up right — no wasted budget on bad data
- Weekly reporting: spend, cost per lead, and what to change next
Why Social Media Buying matters in Oakland.
Meta and TikTok in Oakland work — but only if the targeting and creative match a local buyer. Generic national creative wastes budget on people who will never call you. I build ads that speak to the Oakland customer directly, run them where those customers actually spend time, and scale what works.
Oakland has roughly about 430,000 residents in a full metropolitan market. The competition here is high — East Bay market with a strong local business ecosystem. Most of the local demand runs through port and logistics, healthcare, hospitality, creative, and professional services — the industries where showing up on Google is the difference between a busy month and a slow one.

Every Social Media Buying engagement in Oakland covers the same core deliverables. Bigger accounts get more custom work on top, but this is the floor.

Common questions from Oakland business owners.
What's the difference between social media buying and management?
Buying is paid ads — I run ad spend to get you leads and sales. Management is organic posting. They work together but they're separate services.
Should I run Meta or TikTok?
Depends on your customer. Older, higher-ticket customers still convert on Facebook and Instagram. Younger, DTC brands often do better on TikTok. I test both when it makes sense.
How much ad spend do I need?
$2,000/month in ad spend is a reasonable floor for meaningful testing. Below that, you can't gather enough data to know what's working.
Do you handle Meta Business Manager setup?
Yes. Business Manager, ad account, pixel, Conversions API, catalog if it's e-commerce. Set up right so the data is clean from day one.
Do you make the ad creative?
Yes. Static ads, video ads, UGC-style ads. I have a small production team for anything I can't shoot in-house.
How fast can you launch a campaign?
Usually 7 to 10 business days from kickoff. That includes creative, targeting, tracking, and QA before we push live.
