Some brands we manage earn much more than these, but these are still among our higher-earning pages. They had strong page quality, good asset health and recognizable names. Most pages we manage earn less than these, and pages without these strengths usually earn less. Having them doesn’t guarantee any result, and some pages earn nothing.

In their own words
What partners tell us.
Working with PIB has been a great experience so far. Their team has been incredibly patient and supportive as we’ve navigated the setup process, always keeping the long-term vision of our partnership in mind. Despite our background as a media company, we’ve gained valuable insights from their expertise, picking up new social media strategies we hadn’t explored before. They’ve helped us pinpoint bottlenecks, boost our content distribution, and uncover fresh monetization opportunities.
Ken TruongSocial Media Director, The Epoch Times93%increase in combined Facebook and blog revenue
Over the past month and a half, I’ve been working with Publishers In a Box and only recently started fully implementing their recommendations and systems into my Facebook and blogging strategy over the last month. Since then, I’ve seen a 93% increase in my combined Facebook and blog revenue! Their team is incredibly knowledgeable and always quick to help when I have questions. I’ve been really impressed by how fast, direct, and in-depth their advice is. I can’t wait to see how much more my Facebook and blog grow with their continued guidance.
7 pageson content monetisation
I’m happy to answer any questions you may have about the service over email, but I’m happy to say that I have had a fantastic experience and my pages have grown hugely since I worked with Oren and Michelle and I’m continuing to learn from them with the support you receive after your consultation period has finished. I can’t recommend them highly enough. I now have 7 pages on content monetisation and my the traffic to my blogs has grown over the last 12 months as well, which is as a direct result of the work on Facebook.
Amazing thank you so much for your feedback. Can’t wait to see how much more the account will keep on growing. This was totally worth the investment and time spent.

FAQ
Common questions
What types of local news pages work best?
Pages covering breaking local stories, community events, traffic and weather, school news, and local government updates perform the strongest. High-frequency posting (12-24 times per day) combined with timely local coverage drives the highest engagement and revenue. Local news pages in a defined geographic area with 500K+ followers or $10K+/mo in revenue see the fastest results.
Do you cover my specific region?
We operate local news pages across every region in the US. Our content teams specialize in hyperlocal coverage and adapt to each market's unique stories and audience. Whether your page covers a single city, county, or metropolitan area, we tailor the content strategy to your community.
How fast will I see revenue?
Most pages see measurable revenue within 7-30 days. Pages with existing audiences and Content Monetization approval move the fastest. Pages needing monetization activation take slightly longer, but we have never failed to get a qualifying page approved.
What does turnkey mean?
We do everything. Content creation, posting schedule, audience growth, monetization management, compliance monitoring. From your perspective, this is 100% passive income. You provide the Facebook assets, we handle the rest.
How is revenue split?
We split all revenue generated from your Facebook properties 50/50, both Content Monetization earnings and display ad revenue from referral traffic. No hidden fees, no upfront costs.
My local news page has been dormant. Is it too late?
Dormant local pages are our specialty. Local audiences are the most loyal on Facebook. Even pages inactive for 2+ years retain followers who re-engage when quality community content returns. People do not unfollow their local news source. The audience is waiting.
Do I need a website?
No. Most local news pages earn through Content Monetization alone. If you have a qualifying local news site, we route traffic there for bonus revenue. Otherwise, we send traffic to high-RPM sites in our network. Either way, you earn.
How quickly can you get pages approved for Content Monetization?
For qualifying pages, Content Monetization approval typically takes 2-4 weeks. We handle the entire application process, optimize your page to meet all eligibility requirements, and resolve any issues that arise during review. Pages with clean histories and active audiences get approved fastest.
Is local news content safe on Facebook?
Local news is one of the safest content categories on Facebook. Community stories, local events, and regional updates face minimal moderation risk compared to national political content. We have a 100% compliance track record across all managed local pages.
How quickly will I see results?
Most local pages see meaningful revenue within 30-60 days of our management starting. Pages with existing local audiences and Content Monetization approval move fastest.
Do you cover my town if your team is not local?
Yes. We work from local sources, official channels and your existing reporting. You can flag local contacts or topics to prioritize.
Can a local page qualify if most followers are in one city?
Eligibility is 500K+ followers or $10K+/mo. Many local pages reach this through a metro area or region. If you are below it, Facebook Consulting gives your team our playbook.
Can you cover local elections and public meetings?
Yes. Local elections, council meetings and school boards are core local news, and 54% of US adults get local political news on social media (Pew, 2024).
