Target the people that will find your business most relevant to them. By filling out a defined core audience, you can target a specific age, gender, education, job title, interests and location that pertains to your business.

If you already know your audience, you can automatically connect your mailing list, CRM or the people that have previously viewed your site to your Facebook ads.

4. Decide Your Placements

Placements are the locations that your ads will run across all platforms. For example, Instagram explore page, Instagram news feed, Facebook news feed, Facebook marketplace, Facebook right column, IGTV or Messenger stories. You decide what location will work best to target your core audience.

5. Set A Budget That Works for You

Once your ad is submitted, you can monitor your ads analytics with Facebook Measurement. It breaks down where the ad was sent, to what demographic, and how many views it got over a period of time.

If you want to change your locations, if you find that one demographic is responding more than another, or something isn’t meeting up with your business brand, you can hop into Advertiser Controls and make whatever adjustments as needed.

We hope that these step-by-step directions for Facebook ads help you become successful with digital marketing in your future! Be authentic and true to your business and we can guarantee an effective ad will help you boost your business!
