One of the key components to making your Facebook campaigns work is having
the right standard operating procedures in place. Creating more structure in
your business activities using standard operating procedures will not only help
you launch campaigns quicker, but it will make it easier for your employees to
do their jobs and give new employees a template to follow.
Another area that SOP’s make a huge difference in is with quality control. Your
customers depend on a product or service to be of a certain standard quality.
SOP’s help you reduce the errors, or variations, that occur when you are doing
something multiple times throughout the day. Sometimes things become so
routine that people can forget small steps that make the biggest difference. For
example, if you own a factory that builds cars, you want SOPs for quality control.
You want each car model to be the equivalent of the car before it on the
production line. The same thing goes for launching Facebook campaigns. With
SOP’s in place, you can determine which campaigns are perfect right out the
gate and which campaign needs to be relaunched.
With all that being said, below is the exact SOP system that Ad Agency Secrets
uses to bring on new clients, create landing page designs, create new ad copy,
launching image ads and how to launch campaigns. This a living breathing
document that is updated on a regular basis. At the end of each chapter there
will be a checklist that you and your employees can print out and keep on their
desk to ensure that each main component is in place.

Ad Copy: Completing Tasks, the Ad Copy Que
Folder and the Spreadsheet
What is AD COPY?
Technically, it is a term that
refers to the main clickable text
ad and image ads that get
people interested in our
business, service or offer.
How do we complete a task for AD COPY?
44
In Ad Agency Secrets, whenever the FB campaigns perform badly and have failed
to get leads and checkouts within 2448 hours, it will be killed and a new task
will be created and new Ad copy will be assigned to the ad copywriter.
There are numerous clients entrusting their business to us. Our job is to help
them promote their expertise and offers the best way possible through creating
effective ad copy.
1) In creating Ad Copy, there are 5 elements you need to secure getting done.
a. DESTINATION URL
– the link you want to send people to after they click
45
2) Selecting Facebook interest
To do that, go to this link:
https://www.facebook.com/ads/audience_insights/interests?act=92577307411
6951&age=18&country=US
46
At the interest section, it is where you are going to put and validate your best
possible interest, and that would have tons of active audiences with respective
pages liked. There must be a minimum of 25K audience insight and a minimum
of 20K affinity for the Facebook Pages that are likely to be relevant to your
audience based on Facebook Page likes. However, if the potential interest has a
on your interest list.
b. As you go through the interest research process, there are times that the
interest you put at the interest section won’t show up. If there’s nothing that
you could target, then go ahead and start to dig in and use the social graph
search tool .
You just have to type in Facebook’s ads manager search box, “pages similar to
(name of interest/page)” and you will get tons of pages you could potentially
target. By going through this process, you’ll be building out your interest and
that allows you to find additional interest for you to go after and target. Next
step is simply to validate and see if these interests/pages got high affinity and
have massive audiences that are very engaging.
Also, make sure to identify the age & gender that has covered the most active
and relevant audience throughout your interest.
48
c.Once you’re done, then
Save
it.
NOTE: (UNITED STATES, Desktop News Feed, Mobile Placement: News Feed,
User Devices: Android are under default so just leave it as it is)
d. Go to the Slack ad copy channel and let Team Lead check your output.
e. Once ad copy is approved add it to the ad copy que.
3. How does the Ad Copy Que Folder works?
49
a. Open Ad Copy Que file :
https://drive.google.com/drive/u/1/folders/0B3co8DmCJGVqekNDMnliN3gyZ28
b. The “Ad Copy Que" folder is located in the google drive, "CLIENTS" that
contains all the clients’ ad copy files. This serves as storage for all of the ad copy
for
each client
that Team Lead approves, and soon to be used for a new
campaign.
50
There’s an inventory spreadsheet to keep on track with the availability of ad
copies for each client. The copywriter has to keep the Que full.
NOTE:
Before any ad copy goes live or use on any campaigns, it should be read
and approved by Project Manager.
c. How does the Spreadsheet works?
This is the Speaking Empire google drive file:
https://drive.google.com/drive/u/1/folders/0B3co8DmCJGVqd2kxNTY0dE5Ub0E
51
d.Open up the "Que, Tasks, Campaign Info" spreadsheet for the client
e. The spreadsheet that includes the name, Ad copy URL, date it was written and
approved, the copy’s landing page, its objective & place in que for the ad copy
will help the copywriter to keep track of the order that will be used if there are
extra ad copies made.
This is the Speaking Empire spreadsheet:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1cwVl_EBD8KKac9trd_cuAyptevRefCz58uv
KXqaHKzw/edit#gid=2076745549
There are 3 tabs in the spreadsheet, but for now, we'll just use the first tab,
"Que".
So you would just look at the "Que" tab to see which copy should be used next
by looking at the "Place In Que" column.
NOTE :
The copies have been categorized into their different objectives so the
copywriter can easily point out which copy will be used for a certain campaign.
4. What to do when Ad copy is already been used?
52
If ad copy #1 gets to be used, then you have to make adjustments to the
spreadsheet and to the "Ad Copy Que" folder.
In the spreadsheet, follow these steps:
a. Click on the "Tasks" tab
b. Insert a line above line 2
c. Copy & paste: Name of the ad copy file used in the A2 box
d. The URL of the Teamwork task that Facebook Ads Manager assigned us in
B2
e. The URL of the Teamwork task you assigned Facebook Ads Manager in C2
f. The URL of the Teamwork task that Facebook Ads Manager assigns
Graphic Designer in D2
5) Move used ad copy to the used copy tab
a. Go to the "Used Copy" tab
b. Insert a line above line 2
c. Enter the name of the used ad copy in A2
d. Then go to the "Used Copy" folder within the "Ad Copy Que" folder
e. Upload the Word document of the used ad copy file by clicking "New" &
clicking "File upload"
53
NOTE:
All of the files in these folders for each client must be kept as Drive
google documents, and so
● Open the file in the "Used Copy" folder
● Click the Open button in the middle of the top of the screen
(After that, there should be another file in the folder.)
e. Delete the Word document file and keep the google doc form file which
you should change the name/rename it, removing the ".docx" from the end. In
general, that should be removed from all of the files that are to be uploaded.
54
f. Going back to the “Used Copy” tab in the spreadsheet
g. Fill in B2 with the URL of the file in the "Used Copy" folder, and then
h. Put the Date when the ad copy is used in C2.
i.Go back to the "Que" tab and clear the file from the row .
NOTE: if there’s additional ad copy in the Que, then just adjust the "Place in

Facebook Image Ad Creation
When creating Facebook images the best approach is to consider yourself a
Facebook viewer. What would catch your eye? What image would make you
stop and read the text? What would make you blindly click on the image?
1) Make sure that your ad stays within the recommended Facebook image
ad size
57
2) Image components
Raw images These images should reflect the goals of the campaign. The more
interesting image the better. You can use any image stock website to get your
raw images.
Standard Facebook Image Components:
a. Client logo
b. Image text Image text is just a sentence that directly reflects the ad
message and the page
c. Call To Action Button
d. Eye catching color
Facebook Image Examples
3) Creating Task
A) logo
B) Image text
C) File with raw images
D) When assigning the task to the graphic designer, let them know to create
multiple variations. This is to test as well as to see which one is more eye
catching
E) Let them know to post image examples in slack for approval
58
NOTE:
Once the graphic designer has created the image use this tool
https://www.facebook.com/ads/tools/text_overlay
to make sure that is stays within the 20% Facebook rule. This rule states the only
20% of the image can be text.
3) Reviewing The Facebook Images
A. Images should be placed in slack for approval
59
B. Once the images have been approved they should be placed in a google
drive file.
C. The file should be placed in slack so that the project manager can create
the task for the Facebook Ads Manager
NOTE: If the images are not approved clear direction should be given so that
changes can be made and the ads can be reviewed.
4) Image Examples
60
Note: This image might seem a little silly, but don’t afraid to test new images.
61

[New Step Role out]
o Single Interest Testing
o Group Interest Testing
o View Content
o Custom Audience – Lookalike Audience
o ReTargeting
6. Interest Per Adset [ New Campaign split Testing Role Out ]
Single interest per adset and one adset handles one image ad. So in
this way which interest and which image ad were performing can be
tested. Optimization can also be tested using this method.
a. Single Interest Testing
By using single interest targeting you can check which single interest
targets and which image ads are performing the best. Break down
these details
● Which Gender were engaging
● Which Age groups were engaging
● Which devices were getting clicks
● Which placements
These details can be broken down and on our next campaign
optimization you will be able to get more leads with very lower costs
per actions and you will build our client audience.
Example for single interest testing: 1 campaign 10 Adsets [single interest
per adset] 50 ads
74
b. Group Interest Testing
Select the best performing interests that we tested in the first step {Single
Interest Testing} and you add them all together in one ad set and test them
with different ads. You do this method so you can gather all leads &
registration and create full custom audiences for future campaigns with this
75
method. Once you do this it will not need to be done any more audience
testing. We have direct client based that we collected from these steps.
Example for group interest testing: 1 Campaign 10 adsets 10 ads
76
c. View Content
Once you generate more than 100 leads or registrations from group
interest and we track them it is time to collect all audience information from
our main master pixel by optimizing it to the view content conversion pixel.
You can create the audience by going to the client Facebook manager:
❖ Click Tools > Pixels > events > view content
77
❖ Create audience > custom Combination > event > view content >
thank you page link > 180 days > audience name
d. Custom Audience – Lookalike Audience
After you create the audience by using the view content master pixel,
create a lookalike audience to get more leads and registrations
NOTE: Lookalike Audiences are a way to reach new people who are
“
likely to be interested in your business because they're similar to
customers you care about.”
Select Country > Audience Size > confirm

Landing Page Optimization
Landing pages/Lead gen page performance is key to conversions. When visitors
land on this page imagery needs to be clear and content needs to encourage
them to convert.
Currently Ad Agency Secrets rotates 2 pages at a time to test, but moving
forward it’s customary to rotate 34 pages at a time.
NOTE:
We are using several of our clients to give examples of landing pages.
1) Elements of our current pages
88
1) Header contains the offer
2) A main Headline of the page. Headline is designed to really grab the
reader’s attention and convince them to complete an action
3) Clickable download button at the bottom of the page. The button could
also be at the top of the page.
2) Checking Performance Of The Page
To check the page performance we log into the client improvely account located
here.
http://drip.improvely.com/
. To locate the login credentials they are
located herehttps://ppcboutique.teamwork.com/notebooks/63132.
89
a. Log into improvely account
b. Click ad traffic link.
c. Click landing page
90
NOTE: You are looking for the column labeled conversions. This column will
determine which pages are performing and which pages are not. The page in the
landing page screenshot above has a 19.3% conversions rate. Ad Agency Secrets
would like to have 20% conversion rate. Since we always want 23 active pages
rotating this means that a new page design should be put in place.
You can also check the tracking link report to see performance here:
a.1 Click The Reports Button
91
b.1 Select the tracking links option in the drop down menu
c.2 click on the gear icon
92
d.1 select the view split test results options
e.1 determine which page should be removed based on the results. Below the
lp/18/ and lp/19/ have poor improvement results. This is because those pages
were brand new so have little to no data. The page that needs to be removed is
93
lp/7/ which has 10% improvement. This means that the lp/7/ page needs to be
replaced with a new page.
2) New page design
Take a look at the elements that are currently on the page. Header, Headline,
CTA button. Ask yourself what could be added to the page to make it better.
The best way to analyze this is to use this referral guide:
http://thelandingpagecourse.com/
3) Key landing page elements
a)Your Unique Selling Proposition (USP)
A.The main headline
B. A supporting headline
C. A reinforcement statement
b)The hero shot (images/video showing context of use)
c)The benefits of your offering
A. bullet point list summary of benefits
B. Benefit and features in detail
A single conversion goal – your CallToAction (CTA)
94
4) Requesting New Page Design
>> Create an assignment the Copywriter to come up with 2 variations of new
text for the page. The text assignment should include coming up with a 23
sentence opening paragraph, bullet point list of benefits, a headline, sub header
and reinforcement statements.
1) Once the text has been created post the text in a file to be approved by
Team Lead Or Project Manager
a) If the text is not approved, please follow the edit notes that will be
provided
2) The approved text should then be placed in assignment to be added on
the new web page
>> Create an assignment for Web Developer or Facebook Ads Manager to create
“2 hero shot images” using photos from Dollar Photo Club. The image created
should reflect the goals of the page and the brand.
NOTE: If the client has provided photos then use those photos.
1) Once the Hero shot images have been created place inside of slack to be
approved by Team Lead or Project Manager
a) If the image is not approved, please follow the edit notes that will be
provided
2) The approved image should be placed in an assignment to be added to the
new page.
>> Once the page had all the needed element create an assignment for Web
Developer to create the needed variations.
NOTE: In some cases we will only need to rotate in one design, in other cases we
will need to rotate in up to 3. For new clients there will need to be 3 designs.
NOTE: When creating the page make sure that all tracking pixels are in place &
that all images are clickable
NEW PAGE EXAMPLES:
1)
95
2)
96
We added the key elements to the new page along with changing the color
scheme of the page.
Color Scheme & The Power Of The Color Wheel
When you are creating a page you want to stick to the client's branding colors as
much as possible. By using the power of the color wheel you can stick to the
branding colors as well as add colors that you might not consider.
In the original page we had blue, white and orange. All of these colors work
because they are in the same color family.
To give the page a new feel we added blue, light green and dark green. This
color makes the page sleek and clean, but still colorful.
Color Example:
97
In the landing page above we used blue, dark blue, golden yellow and green.
These are all different colors that work well together.
1) Once the page variations have been created place them inside of slack for
approval by project manager
a) If the page is not approved, follow the feedback and return with an updated
version with the edits
2) Once the page is approved Team Lead will add the new pages into the
rotation in improvely
NOTE:
Please remember to remove the poorly performing page once you add
the new page
NOTE: Remember that if the page is rotating then the weight needs to be set. 2
pages should rotate 50/50, 3 pages 33% a pieces and 4 pages 25% a piece
98
Landing Page Optimization Checklist

Facebook Campaign Reporting
1. Step One
Go to Facebook account manager. [URL:
https://www.facebook.com/ads/manager/accounts/?act=73629948
]
a. Click on the account that you want to check stats
Example: Below I selected “Drip Apps” account
2. Step Two
See which campaigns are Live and to check how the ads have performed. You
are looking for which ads gave us sales or leads. How expensive they were and
kill them before you spend more on the ads. Allocate the budgets of killed ads to
an ad that is performing to generate more sales.
100
3. Step Three
We need to add which columns that we will be needing to report on. In the
example case I will be selecting these columns
I. Ad Set Name
II. Results
III. Result Type
IV. Reach
V. Cost per Result (USD)
VI. Budget
VII. Amount Spent (USD)
VIII. CTR (All)
IX. Link Clicks
X. Leads (Conversion Pixel)
XI. Registrations (Conversion Pixel)
XII. CPC (Link) (USD)
XIII. Cost per Lead (Conversion Pixel) (USD)
XIV. Cost per Registration (Conversion Pixel) (USD)
101
After creating your customized columns you will need to save them so you don’t
need to recreate custom columns every time when you are checking reporting.
After saving your Custom Columns proceed to next step.
4. Step Four
You can now select the created custom column as below Steps
102
5. Step Five
We need to filter to only show active ads to make sure we are not monitoring
inactive ads and we are getting accurate stats.
6. Step Six
Select a time rang and in this case, we select a range of last 7 days.
103
Proceed with the Stats to gather all information to kill the ads, run the ads or
optimize the ads.
7. Step Seven
Now we will collect all the information on a excel sheet where we can closely
evaluate all data without any mistakes
Sample:
We mark them as green if the ads are performing & we mark the ads that
haven’t performed as red. This way we know which ads should be killed.
NOTE:
Before deciding on killing or optimizing an ad we should follow these
below steps
a. How much budget per lead allocated
b. How much budget per Application Allocated
c. How much budget on Daily Spend
d. How many Registrations or Leads have been generated for the amount
spend
e. How long have the ad been running
f. If the KPI’s are met
104
These key points are mainly looked into to decide if the ads are performing.
DASEP0915ADSET1
Example: The ad was not performing and was costing
$20
money so we decided to kill the ad and the ad has a daily budget of set.
DASEP0915ADSET2
Let’s also say the ad was the best performing ad in this
$20
campaign and it has a daily budget of as well
Follow the steps below on how to allocate budget from ad
DASEP0915ADSET1 to DASEP0915ADSET2 and how to optimize the best
performing ad.
8. Step Eight
Select the Best Performing Ad
[DASEP0915ADSET2]
105
A square window will pop up on the right side of the screen allowing you to edit
If you want to learn what adsets do in facebook please

9. Step Nine
a. Go to the place where you can edit the daily budget and add the killed ad
budget to the best performing ad
Not Performing Ad Best Perfoming ad
DASEP0915ADSET1 Daily budget of
DASEP0915ADSET2
Daily budget of
$20
$20
[Ad Killed]
Daily Budget $0 Daily Budget $40
106
As the top example shows that we bump up the budget from $20 to $40 and we
hit the “save and close”.
Continue monitoring the campaigns until they are totally deactivated.
Note:
if none of the ads perform kill the whole campaign and create a total
new campaign
