I just want to take a moment to give a HUGE shoutout to Amy Lobb, the absolute rockstar behind the scenes who has helped me so much with Meta Ads for my business. From the countless hours she’s poured into helping me understand the ins and outs, to the way she breaks everything down so clearly, Amy, you’re truly an amazing teacher. Your patience, your support, and your willingness to answer every single one of my questions (even the ones I asked twice ) has meant the world to me. I honestly wouldn’t have been able to navigate this Meta Ads journey without you, and I’m so grateful to have you in my corner. Thank you for everything! Here’s to more learning, growth, and wins ahead!

Local Ads Studio has been a safe space for me to show up regularly with my Meta and Google advertising questions, get support building my campaigns, and review the results. Conversations about marketing and advertising more broadly are always welcome, and I look forward to the feedback from the other business owners and creatives who join the calls.

Amy is a powerhouse of current information for social media platforms. She is not new to scaling a business and is positioned to help you scale your business in the most positive way. Amy is fun to work with and always brings a fresh perspective to the table! Small business owners find it very difficult to keep up with posting on social media, let alone all of the intricacies involved in doing that with efficiency! Let Amy and Salt Leaf Agency help... you won't regret it!

It is hard to find someone who truly cares about your brand’s identity and is able to understand it in all its complexity. Amy has the heart and skills to do that, and has helped us enormously in establishing our brand within the ecosystem of like minded businesses and people.

Amy is always available to help with ad setup and questions, so you're never stuck for long. Beyond that, being able to connect with other members on the calls has been a huge part of the Local Ads Studio experience.

STILL NOT SURE?
Frequently Asked Questions
→ Do I need experience with ads to join?
No, ads experience is not needed. A Facebook business page and business Instagram profile will be needed. Module One will cover elements and foundations of account set up, to ensure your backend is set up properly.
→ Is this just for Canadian businesses?
Not at all! While I’m based in Canada, the strategies apply to any locally-based business marketing on Meta.
→ What if I want to cancel later?
No problem. This is month-to-month, cancel any time.
→ Will there be replays?
Yes, all calls will be recorded and posted inside the private group.
→ What should I expect in the Skool group?
This is a place to connect with other members, tell us about yourself and your business (although this isn’t a space for constant business promotion), find others to collaborate with, and most importantly, ASK QUESTIONS! Post screenshots, share screen or Loom recordings, and you can get feedback and answers at least 5 days a week, even on the days and weeks without live calls. I’ll be committing to going through the group 5 days a week, at least once per day on those days. Calum, our in-house Google Ads specialist, will also be in the group to give you some help with Google Ads.
All course modules and replays are within Skool and the call calendar with reminders and links are highly visible in the community.
→ What if I need help setting up my accounts?
Course videos will cover this. If you are still having trouble, you can bring your issue to a group support call or book a 1-to-1 service with me to help you.
→ Will I need to spend money on ads right away?
No, you’re welcome to join the Studio even if you’re not ready to run ads just yet. Many members start by learning and getting clarity first.
→ Will you help me with ad copy or targeting questions?
Yes! That’s what our live calls and group support are for. You can bring your questions and get tailored feedback.
→ What happens if I cancel and want to rejoin later?
You’re always welcome back, but please note that the rate you joined with may not always be available. Future pricing may be higher.
→ Do you offer refunds?
The course and monthly subscriptions are considered final sale.
