Boosting Facebook Ad ROI: Essential Strategies for Local Businesses in 2025

Most local businesses waste 40–60% of their Facebook ad spend. Here's how Rosey Co. clients are hitting 4–8:1 ROAS consistently — even with iOS privacy changes and rising CPMs.

The ROI Formula That Actually Works

ROI = (Revenue from ads − Ad spend) ÷ Ad spend

Our benchmark for sustainable growth: minimum 4:1. Anything less and you're just buying vanity metrics.

The Tactics That Move the Needle

Hyper-Local Audience Layering

Combine 5–10 km radius + interest targeting + lookalike of your best customers.

A Gold Coast surf shop went from 1.8:1 to 6.2:1 ROAS in 30 days with this alone.

Aggressive Retargeting

  • Website visitors (30-day window)
  • Video viewers (50%+)
  • Add-to-cart abandoners

Warm audiences convert 5–10× better than cold traffic.

The 70/30 Budget Rule

  • 70% prospecting (new customers)
  • 30% retargeting (closing the sale)

Most businesses get this backwards and wonder why ROI tanks when they scale.

Creative That Stops the Scroll

  • 3-second hook
  • Local landmarks or slang
  • UGC-style video (phone footage beats polished ads in 2025)

Real Numbers from Rosey Co. Clients
