Why Facebook Ads Work for Pool Builders When Done Right

Why Facebook Ads Work for Pool Builders When Done Right

July 09, 20254 min read

If you're a swimming pool builder and you've tried Facebook Ads before, maybe you boosted a post, ran a local campaign, or even hired an agency, but didn’t see the results you expected. You’re not alone.

We’ve spoken to many Outdoor Living companies who said, “We tried Facebook Ads once. The leads weren’t serious, or we barely got any enquiries.”

Here’s the truth:
Facebook Ads work incredibly well for pool builders when the right strategy is in place.

In this blog, you’ll discover why this platform is such a powerful tool for high-ticket services like swimming pools, and how to use it to attract serious buyers.

Facebook isn’t just for scrolling. It’s for inspiring action

Most homeowners don’t start their pool journey by typing “pool company near me” into Google. They start with a dream, a vision of what their outdoor space could look like.

Facebook and Instagram are where those dreams begin. People scroll through lifestyle content, open to new ideas and products. This is where you want to show up, with:

  • A stunning image or video of your latest pool project

  • A message that speaks directly to their desires

  • A clear call to action to request a brochure or a quote

You’re not just catching demand. You’re creating it.

Pools are visual. Your ads need to be too

Swimming pools don’t just solve a problem. They enhance lifestyles. They’re aspirational.

To capture attention, you need visuals that stop the scroll. Static images won’t cut it. Neither will a generic post.

You need sharp photos, short videos, drone footage, before-and-afters, or time-lapses. These are the kind of assets that get attention and drive action.

The better your visuals, the better your results.

Facebook’s targeting tools are unmatched

Unlike traditional advertising, Facebook lets you show your ads to people who are actually a good fit.

For pool builders, this typically includes:

  • Homeowners aged 35 and up

  • Located within your service area

  • Interested in outdoor living, home improvements, or garden design

  • In the right income bracket

  • People who’ve interacted with your website or social media before

You don’t waste money on the wrong audience. You only pay to reach people who matter.

It’s not just about the ad. It’s about what happens next

This is where most campaigns fall flat. You might have a good ad, but what happens after someone clicks?

If there’s no landing page, no automated message, no follow-up within 24 hours, most leads will go cold. Fast.

That’s why we don’t just run ads. At Orisen Media, we build a full system that includes:

  • Lead forms that are quick and easy to complete

  • Instant WhatsApp, email, and SMS confirmations

  • A CRM where you can track and manage every lead

  • Automated follow-ups that increase your show-up and close rate

The result is a system that doesn’t just generate leads, but turns them into customers.

Boosting a post isn’t the same as lead generation

A boosted post might get you a few likes or comments. But it’s not going to fill your calendar with serious enquiries.

Real Facebook marketing means:

  • Running ads with a clear strategy and objective

  • Testing different messages, creatives, and audiences

  • Analysing performance data and improving results weekly

  • Automating follow-up so leads never go cold

  • Tracking ROI, not just reach

This is how one of our clients went from basic visibility to selling 83 pools in one season, with £4.5M in sales and a 68X return on ad spend.

So why does Facebook Ads work for pool builders?

Because it helps you:

  • Get in front of buyers earlier in their journey

  • Showcase your work in a visual and emotional way

  • Target only serious homeowners

  • Build brand trust and awareness

  • Turn attention into action, consistently
