LOCAL ADS COURSE & MENTORSHIP PROGRAM
Launch profitable local ads without hiring an agency or posting every day
A 4 month group program that will teach you how to get real local leads and clients from Facebook & Instagram… even if you’ve never run an ad in your life.
You thought posting online would be simple, until it turned into a second job.
And it’s not just the algorithm! It’s the pressure to always be current, clever, and converting – without a single guarantee it’ll work. But it actually gets to be simple.
You just need to know what to do, and what to stop wasting time on.
Does this sound familiar?
You were told to post consistently...But no one warned you it’d feel like running a media company on top of your actual business.
You’re chasing trends, guessing at captions, and praying today’s post doesn’t flop. Meanwhile, the algorithm changes weekly and your best customers still don’t see your stuff.
You’ve tried boosting posts and it brought in some extra likes and a couple followers but no new customers or clients and you're tired of wondering what everyone else knows that you don't.
It's time to take a different approach.
A FOUR MONTH PROGRAM TO GROW YOUR LOCAL BUSINESS USING LOW COST FACEBOOK AND INSTAGRAM ADS
Successful Facebook & Instagram ads take more than a random graphic and a cute caption.
It’s about running strategic, local ads built for real business growth, not just views and vanity metrics.
Inside Hometown Advantage, you’ll learn exactly what to say, how to say it, and where to put it so your dream customers actually see it and buy.
DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT
Here's what some Hometown ADvantage clients are saying
"From consistently doing $4k months to $10k months"
"My IG follower count has skyrocketed from 370 when I started to over 700 now. My content is more engaging (it's truly a digital storefront now that converts leads) and I have a much better online presence. I literally went from consistently doing 4k/month in sales to 10k/month. I have done 2 10k months since starting the course and since leads are picking up, and I was finally able to hire someone for my small business, too. Understanding marketing has made a huge difference in my life and in my business!!!"
- Mindy Dang, Good Lead Dog Training
"I feel way more confident navigating the ad world now"
"I wanted to send a big thank you for all the support over the last few months! Working with you has been fun, educational, and super energizing. I’ve learned a ton and feel way more confident navigating the ad world now—definitely something I, and Solstice Fitness, needed! I really appreciate everything you’ve done to help me get to this point. I signed up for a better lead follow-up system and that wouldn’t have felt like the right move without the foundation you helped build. Grateful for all of it!"
-Robert Gurrolla, Solctice Fitness
"I saw a big uptick in bookings for the month"
“I had been using Meta ads previously, but basically would just go through the builder and hope for the best....after launching my first visibility ad at only $2 per day, I saw a big uptick in bookings for the month.”
I quickly signed up for Hometown ADvantage, and it has been such a great investment! I highly recommend this course if you need help marketing your local business."
- Jen Rice, Lapeer Auto Wash & Detailing
The ad strategy no one’s teaching local businesses
Step 1
10X YOUR LOCAL VISIBILITY
Use my $2/day ad method to show up where your people are, and start getting seen by locals who actually want what you sell.
Step 2
LAUNCH LEAD GEN ADS THAT WORK
Launch the kinds of ads that get DMs, bookings, or walk-ins. You’ll get personal feedback on your copy + creative.
Step 3
IMPROVE YOUR ROI
Track what’s working, cut what’s not, and dial up the results without spending more.
Step 4
RETARGET LIKE A PRO
Show up again (and again) for warm leads until they’re ready to buy. Because most people don’t act on the first ad, and we plan for that.
And it works...
I’m Nicole – former kindergarten teacher turned local ads whisperer .
I swapped crayons for click-through rates when I realized teaching wasn’t it… but helping local businesses blow up their visibility definitely is.
I’ve run ad budgets of $150/month small businesses and $50k/month influencers – and the same core principles still apply: get seen, stay booked, and stop crossing your fingers every time you post.
I built Hometown ADvantage for the small-but-mighty biz owners who want simple, strategic ads that actually work – and a teacher (hi, it’s me) who makes it easy to learn.
Local marketing is my bread and butter, so pull up a chair, we're doing the thing.
You don’t need to pay an agency thousands of dollars to run ads that don’t work.

Let's Address What You're Probably Thinking...
"I've already wasted money on marketing that didn't work..."
That's exactly why we start with small budgets ($1-10/day) and test everything before scaling. Just ask Jen, who spent just $16 per booking to fill her car detailing schedule, or Misty, who had to actually turn DOWN her ad spend because she was getting too many clients.
"I don't have time to learn another complicated system..."
You're running a business – I get it. That's why everything in Hometown Advantage is broken down into bite-sized pieces you can implement in just a few hours a week. No daily posting required, no complex strategies to master. Just clear, straightforward steps that work.
"But my business/industry/location is different..."
I've helped over 100 local businesses across different industries succeed with these exact strategies. From Mallory and Kellee booking 5-10 new Botox clients monthly, to home improvement stores generating 40 new leads in 3 months – these techniques work because they're specifically designed for local businesses like yours.
"I'm not tech-savvy enough for Facebook ads..."
If you can use Facebook on your phone, you can do this. Every technical step comes with screen-recording tutorials, and you get weekly Q&A calls where you can share your screen and get immediate help. No more getting stuck or feeling lost in Ads Manager.
"What if it doesn't work for me?"
That's why you get direct access to me through weekly Q&A calls and our private community. We look at your actual data and adjust your strategy in real-time. No more guessing or hoping – we track what works and fix what doesn't, together.
"I've tried courses before and never finished them..."
This isn't a "watch and hope" course. You get 12 weeks of live support, real-time feedback on your ads, and a community of local business owners taking action alongside you. Plus, everything is taught through the lens of local business – no irrelevant strategies or complicated funnels.
"I should probably just figure this out myself..."
You could – but why spend months (or years) testing different strategies when you can follow a proven system? Your time is better spent serving clients and growing your business, not becoming a marketing expert through trial and error.
Local ads are the fastest way to market your local business. But you have to do them right.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much time do I need to commit each week?
Just a few hours. You'll need about 2-3 hours to go through each week's training, plus 1 hour for our weekly Q&A call. Once your ads are running, you'll spend maybe 30 minutes a week monitoring and tweaking them. Remember – this system is built for busy business owners who need to get back to serving clients.
I'm completely new to Facebook ads. Is this too advanced for me?
If you can use Facebook on your phone, you can do this. Every technical step comes with screen-recording tutorials, and you get real-time help during our weekly Q&A calls. Many of our most successful students started as complete beginners.
How much do I need to spend on ads?
You can start with as little as $1-10 per day. We believe in testing and scaling, not burning through budgets. Most students find their sweet spot between $300-500 per month, but you'll start much lower and scale up only when you're seeing results.
When do the Q&A calls happen?
1 PM EST On Tuesdays every week. Can't make it live? No problem – submit your questions ahead of time, and I'll answer them during the call. All calls are recorded and added to the FB group each week.
How long do I have access to the course material?
Lifetime access! Plus, you'll get all future updates and improvements to the program at no additional cost.
Do I need to be tech-savvy to make this work?
Not at all. The course includes step-by-step screen recordings for every technical aspect. Plus, you can share your screen during Q&A calls if you get stuck. We've had successful students who self-described as "terrible with technology."
What if my industry is different from your examples?
I've helped over 100 local businesses across various industries – from car detailing to Botox clinics, photographers to home improvement stores. The principles work because they're based on local customer behavior, not industry-specific tactics.
Will this work in a small town?
Absolutely! These strategies are especially effective in smaller communities where word-of-mouth and local reputation matter most. We'll show you how to target effectively even in smaller markets.
How soon can I expect to see results?
While every business is different, most students who implement the strategies consistently start seeing results within the first month. Some, like Jen with her car wash, saw results in just two weeks. The key is consistent implementation.
What happens after I enroll?
You'll get immediate access to the course material and our private Facebook community. The next round of live mentorship kicks off January 7th, but you can start implementing right away with support from the community.
Do you offer refunds?
No, we're not able to offer refunds on this program.
