Common Facebook Ads Questions</h2> <p>First, let’s address a few of the greatest concerns and questions people have around Facebook advertising.</p> <h3>How Much Does Facebook Advertising Cost?</h3> <p>When it comes to the cost of a Facebook ad, it really depends.</p> <p>Recent research by <a href="https://adespresso.com/blog/facebook-ads-cost/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">AdEspresso</a> reveals that the primary factors that impact the cost of Facebook ads are:</p> <ul> <li><strong>Timing</strong>: Time and day the Facebook ad shows.</li> <li><strong>Bidding strategy</strong>: Lowest cost or a specific bid cap.</li> <li><strong>Ad placement</strong>: Higher-competition placements cost more.</li> <li><strong>Ad relevance</strong>: Low scores engagement ranking, quality ranking, or conversion ranking can increase the costs of the Facebook ad.</li> <li><strong>Target audience</strong>: Higher competition audiences cost more with Facebook ad campaigns.</li> </ul> <p>AdEspresso also calculated the average cost per click:</p> <ul> <li><strong>Impressions</strong>: $0.98.</li> <li><strong>Reach</strong>: $1.03.</li> <li><strong>Lead generation</strong>: $0.67.</li> <li><strong>Conversions</strong>: $0.25.</li> <li><strong>Link clicks</strong>: $0.16.</li> </ul><div id="summita-wrapa_112" class="middle_p_txt"><iframe class="sej-iframe-auto-height" id="in-content-iframe" scrolling="no" src="https://www.searchenginejournal.com/wp-json/sscats/v2/tk/Middle_Post_Text"></iframe></div> <h3>How Does Facebook Advertising Work?</h3> <p>Facebook advertising is sorted by campaigns.</p> <p>A new Facebook campaign can have one or several Facebook ads in it.</p> <p>Facebook ads target users based on their location, demographic, and profile information.</p> <p>The ad will then appear on the person’s screen as they scroll through their Facebook feed.</p> <p>Views are recorded as impressions.</p> <p>Likes and comments on Facebook ads are recorded as engagement.</p> <p>Clicks – which can take the person to another website, an online store, or a Facebook page or offer, depending on the campaign objective – are recorded as clicks, cost per click, click-through rate, and more.</p><div data-total="8" id="SEJ_300x250_UnderPost_3-parent" class="content-unit sss2_sllo_o6 mmh-90-wrap"> <div class="mmh-90-inner"> <div class="mmh-90

rel="noopener">Campaign Budget Optimization (CBO)</a> is a feature provided by Facebook advertising that could be worth utilizing.</p> <p>CBO allows you to determine your budget at a campaign level rather than the ad set stage.</p> <p>Doing so will allow Facebook to optimize your budget across different ad sets within the campaign.</p> <p>Why is this good?</p> <p>The bulk of your budget will be spent on the target audience or audiences that bring better results.</p> <p>This should result in more conversions and a lower cost per conversion.</p> <h3>Step 3: Select Your Audience</h3> <p>Scroll down a bit further to build your target audience.</p> <p>Facebook Ads Tip: Use custom audiences.</p> <p>Your first choice – and we think the best – is for a custom audience.</p><div data-total="8" id="SEJ_300x250_UnderPost_7-parent" class="content-unit sss2_sllo_o6 mmh-90-wrap"> <div class="mmh-90-inner"> <div class="mmh-90 flex-aligner"> <div data-adnumber="6" data-middle="no"

first-time Facebook Ads user, but here are the tips you need to win at Facebook Ads custom audiences.</p> <p>Most businesses find their ideal customer by targeting people already familiar with their brand.</p> <p>These include:</p> <ul> <li>Old and current customers.</li> <li>Website visitors.</li> <li>Facebook page followers.</li> <li>Etc.</li> </ul> <p>Directing your Facebook ads to these warmer groups of people will get a better result than if you were targeting a cold audience base.</p> <p>This is done through the creation of custom audiences.</p> <p>We recommend starting with your customer file and website visitors.</p> <p>However, if you cannot create a custom audience, use the audience builder provided by Facebook.</p> <p>Choose your target location (city, country, etc.), age, gender, and language.</p> <p>Detailed targeting in your Facebook ad campaign allows you to keep or remove an audience based on their demographics, what they are interested in, and their behaviors.</p><div data-total="8" id="SEJ_300x250_UnderPost_8-parent" class="content-unit sss2_sllo_o6 mmh-90-wrap"> <div class="mmh-90-inner"> <div class="mmh-90 flex-aligner"> <div data-adnumber="7"

micro-focus, for example, selecting those interested in car and household insurance, but not life insurance.</p> <p>You can also include or exclude those who follow your Facebook page or application or have attended or joined an online event for a warmer lead.</p> <p><strong>Tip: Make Use Of Facebook Lookalike Audiences</strong></p> <p>Facebook also provides <a href="https://www.facebook.com/business/help/164749007013531" target="_blank" rel="noopener">lookalike audiences</a>.</p> <p>This type of audience replicates an existing audience to help you find people you have already identified as your ideal customer.</p> <p>This means you can use your existing leads or customers (100 or more), upload this list to Facebook, and Facebook Ads can send your ads to people who are like your ideal customer.</p> <h3>Step 4: Select Where Your Facebook Ads Are Placed</h3> <p>Further down the page, you can identify <a href="https://www.facebook.com/business/help/407108559393196" target="_blank" rel="noopener">where your Facebook ads will appear</a>.</p> <p><strong>Facebook Ads Tip: Utilize Automatic Placements</strong></p> <p>By selecting this option, Facebook automatically places your advertisements across their platforms: Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, and the Audience Network.</p><div data-total="8" id="SEJ_300x250_UnderPost_9-parent" class="content-unit sss2_sllo_o6 mmh-90-wrap"> <div class="mmh-90-inner"> <div class="mmh-90 flex-aligner"> <div data-adnumber="8" data-middle="no"

to deploy the ad on to get optimal results.</p> <h3>Step 5: Set Brand Safety And Bidding Strategy</h3> <p>Next, you can scroll down to the Brand Safety section.</p> <p>You can choose to avoid sensitive content, and add specific blocklists such as specific websites, videos, and publishers.</p> <p><strong>Facebook Ads Tip: Choose The Lowest Cost Bid Strategy</strong></p> <p>Here is a Facebook Ads tip that is not widely known.</p> <p>Facebook offers two Facebook ad bidding strategies:</p> <ul> <li><strong>Lowest Cost:</strong> Facebook Ads defaults to this, so most Facebook campaigns use this strategy, and this is recommended.</li> <li><strong>Target Cost:</strong> This could be the better bidding strategy for you if you want to grow an ad campaign or let it continue running for a while.</li> </ul> <p>The potential reach and conversion estimates appear on the right side of the screen.
