In Facebook ads, you can choose many options, including brand awareness, engagement, and reach, but lead generation will help you target new prospects in your industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.smallbizgenius.net\/by-the-numbers\/advertising-statistics\/#gref\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Studies<\/a> show that 76% of marketers fail to include behavioral data in their strategy, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/blakemorgan\/2020\/02\/18\/50-stats-showing-the-power-of-personalization\/?sh=25ec7a362a94\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">42%<\/a> of consumers are frustrated when content isn\u2019t customized, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/blakemorgan\/2020\/02\/18\/50-stats-showing-the-power-of-personalization\/?sh=25ec7a362a94\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">83%<\/a> are willing to share personal data to create a personalized experience. Fitness consumers want relevant, targeted ads, so get to know your audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-who-is-your-target-audience\">Who is your target audience?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Facebook makes it easy to zero in on your ideal client with specifics like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Demographics (sex, age range)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Interests (yoga, weightlifting, etc.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Location (for in-person visits)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Engagement (people who engage with your page are already invested)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Behaviors (use keywords like fitness)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Competition (Use Facebook Insights to type competitors\u2019 names in the interest box to attract like-minded clients.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Up your leads with the Lookalike Audience tool. How does it work? If your content is seen most by new moms in their 30s, Facebook targets that segment of users who don\u2019t already follow you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-do-you-have-a-facebook-ad-strategy\">Do you have a Facebook ad strategy?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Facebook ads need a strategy of their own. Here are the things to consider:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Placement: <\/strong>Decide where your ad will display in your audience\u2019s feed. With <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.hubspot.com\/blog\/tabid\/6307\/bid\/23865\/13-mind-bending-social-media-marketing-statistics.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">93%<\/a> of users accessing Facebook on their mobile devices, you also likely need to include mobile-optimized ad placements. Other options for ad placements include Facebook and Instagram news feeds and stories, Instagram marketplace, Messenger inbox, Facebook in-stream videos, and more.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Budget: <\/strong>Set a daily or a lifetime budget, which is the amount you want to spend each day or throughout the entirety of your ad campaign. Your budget depends on your funding, type of ad, objective, and end date.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Schedule: <\/strong>Choose the date and time you want run your ad in advance. With the daily budget, the ad won\u2019t go out at your preferred time, but with a lifetime budget, you can select a timeframe that works best for you. While there isn\u2019t a specific best time to run Facebook Ads, analyze your posts to discover the time your audience will likely engage with your business.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-are-the-types-of-facebook-ads\">What are the types of Facebook ads?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Experiment to learn which ads are most effective. Facebook carousel ads typically perform <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spiralytics.com\/blog\/statistics-that-prove-facebook-is-a-lead-generation-beast\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">10x better<\/a> than the rest, but every business is unique. Facebook offers options for different ad formats so you can see what works best for you, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Image: <\/strong>Choose a captivating image, a call to action, and a link to attract new leads for your business.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Video:<\/strong> Post video content. Facebook gets <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.hootsuite.com\/Facebook-statistics\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">30%<\/a> more eyes on videos uploaded directly to Facebook (vs. YouTube), so keep that in mind.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Slideshow: <\/strong>Tell your story with images that Facebook rotates like a slideshow.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Carousel: <\/strong>Choose images and videos that display one at a time on a loop.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Facebook Messenger: <\/strong>Start a conversation and collect lead information by getting your form into new inboxes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Stories:<\/strong> Many people are more interested in a brand after seeing it in Stories, so include Stories in your Facebook Ad strategy.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-create-a-successful-facebook-ad-campaign\">How to create a successful Facebook ad campaign<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you\u2019re familiar with Ads Manager, it\u2019s time to create a killer ad campaign as part of your marketing strategy:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>High-quality images\/videos: <\/strong>Videos get the highest engagement rate on Facebook at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smallbizgenius.net\/by-the-numbers\/advertising-statistics\/#gref\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">13%<\/a>, so it\u2019s a great way to test your content and build your brand.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Adjust sizes\/specs: <\/strong>Keep Facebook\u2019s guidelines in mind so your ads fit perfectly. For example, videos cannot exceed 4 MB, must be a minimum of 1080 \u00d7 1080 pixels, and should have a 4:5 aspect ratio to avoid black bars on either side. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/business\/ads-guide\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook\u2019s Ad Guide<\/a> has all the specs you\u2019ll need to keep your ads looking sharp.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Install FB Pixel:<\/strong> Track how your audience interacts with your website after viewing your Facebook ad.

Called Split Testing (or A\/B Testing), this is done in two ways:<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Create completely separate ads, sending them to the exact same audience to compare results and see which one performs best.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Duplicate your ad, sending it to different audiences to see where it resonates best. Adjust demographics, age groups, or interests for best performance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Facebook <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/business\/help\/2419480091640105?id=561906377587030\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">recommends<\/a> running six ads in your set to optimize delivery, so you\u2019re not competing with your own ads for attention. Allow two to four weeks to give your audience enough time to see your ad in their feeds. Be consistent with each test, so you\u2019re comparing apples to apples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-time-to-track-your-facebook-ads\">Time to track your Facebook Ads<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Facebook metrics tell you everything you need to know about what\u2019s working and where to tweak your strategy. What data is important?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Click-through rate: <\/strong>This is the number of people who clicked your ad\u2014the higher, the better.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cost per click: <\/strong>Learn how much it costs each time someone clicks your ad. Facebook charges based on engagement, so the more people who fill in your form, the cheaper your ad becomes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Relevance score:<\/strong> This shows how relevant your content is based on interest. A high relevancy score keeps your cost per click down and gets a higher priority from Facebook.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Frequency: <\/strong>This tells you how many times the ad was viewed by the same person. So, if your frequency is two, it means on average people viewed your ad twice.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>URL tracking: <\/strong>Adding URL parameters to your ads means using a \u2018tag\u2019 to track traffic. Along with your web analytics tool, you\u2019ll see exactly where people went after clicking on your ad.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Track competitors: <\/strong>Use the Ad Library feature to view competitors\u2019 ads. Gain insight into their brand, how they\u2019re marketing to their audience, and what deals they\u2019re offering.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-grow-your-business-with-facebook-ads\">Grow your business with Facebook Ads<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Use Facebook ads as part of your marketing strategy to attract your perfect client, get leads, and grow your brand.
