Geo-targeted to capture Scrubby Dubby Doggy's orphaned clients while they're actively searching for a new groomer.
Recommended starting point (Linda confirms / edits the $):
| Channel | Suggested split | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Google Search/Local | ~55% | Highest intent — catches people typing the brand name & "groomer Allen" right now. |
| Nextdoor | ~25% | Hyper-local, neighbor trust, word-of-mouth lift around the old location. |
| Meta (IG/FB) | ~20% | Geo + interest retargeting; warm visuals carry the Fear-Free story. |
Suggested test window: 30 days, then read cost-per-booking and reallocate. $ figures intentionally omitted pending approval.
Geo: 3–4 mi radius around the old Scrubby location (1108 N Greenville Ave) + Allen ZIPs 75002 / 75013, extend to 75025 / 75070 (Fairview, N McKinney edge).
Audience: dog & cat owners; pet-services interest; exclude existing Bark & Purr clients (suppression list) to avoid paying for owned traffic.
Timing: launch now — capture in-market demand while it's fresh. Heavier weighting evenings/weekends (when people book pet care).
Destination: the switching landing page (/switching.html) with UTM tags per channel; "Book" → /book-now.
Two ad groups. Brand-defense group bids on the closed shop's name; category group on "dog grooming Allen."
Keywords: scrubby dubby doggy, scrubby dubby doggy closed, scrubby dog allen, scrubby dubby doggy alternative (phrase + exact)

Extensions: call (972-727-1688), location, sitelinks (First Visit · Pricing · Cat Grooming · Reviews), "new client welcome offer" promo (pending offer terms).
Also recommended: turn on Google Local Services / Local campaign + ensure the GBP is fully optimized (it backs the Map Pack, which is where many "groomer near me" taps land — free, high-intent).
Neighborhood feed + sponsored post. Warm, neighborly, not salesy — this audience rewards local authenticity.
Targeting: Allen + adjacent neighborhoods within 3–4 mi; pet-owner households.
Format: single warm photo (calm dog mid-groom / cat in studio) or short carousel.
Geo + interest targeting with a retargeting layer for switching-page visitors who didn't book.
Creative: 4:5 + 9:16. Before/after glow-up reel, or a calm "this is the Zen Den" studio clip. Caption variant pulls from Social Studio (glow_up / offer pillars).
Audiences: (1) Allen 3–4mi + dog/cat-owner interests; (2) retarget switching-page visitors (no booking) 14-day; (3) lookalike of existing client list.
