advertisement and already has your mobile app loaded on their device, deep
linking enables you to take that user directly to a particular location within your
app. You will want to make use of "delayed" deep linking for the App Installs
objective because users have NOT yet installed your app. Someone who clicks
on this will first be taken to the app store, and after having the application
loaded, they will then be taken to the desired location. You do not need to
include postponed deep linking if you are just showing your advertisements to
users who have already downloaded and installed your app.
Network for Facebook. Video Views Ask people to watch the video you
uploaded. Endo Moto, a Japanese automobile manufacturer, is getting ready to
launch a brand-new lineup of automobiles. They have prepared brief videos of
each vehicle in motion that are of very high quality in order to generate interest

in the hopes that it will motivate them to learn more about their new vehicles
when they do so.
Goal to work toward. Begin fresh conversations with your consumers through
Messenger, or pick up where you left off. Wind and Wool, a retailer of women's
clothing, is looking to connect with customers who have previously expressed

code, and other things that record the activities in that individuals participate.
Choose the most appropriate data source for your company based on the kind
of business you run. You may measure actions such as views, adds to cart, and
transactions by utilizing the data sources that are available on your website,
mobile app, and in your physical store. There are three different campaign data
sources that need to be considered by companies that want to place an
emphasis on performance marketing.Offline Conversion Utilizing Facebook Pixel
and Facebook SDK
Facebook pixel: A piece of code known as the Facebook pixel can be added to a
website in order to gain insight into how users engage with its content in
response to advertisements displayed on that website. When you provide
Facebook with this information, the social networking site is able to target its
advertisements toward individuals who are more inclined to take action. You
may make your advertisements and audiences more effective by applying the
knowledge you gain from the Facebook pixel.
After it has been implemented on your website, the pixel will begin recording
activities, also known as "events." You have access to two different event types
to assist you in monitoring the activity on your website. These are standard
events and bespoke events. Inevitable occurrences: Automatically logged
events are actions that the Facebook pixel measures by default unless you have
disabled this functionality. If you disable this functionality, the Facebook pixel
will not record these events. Activities performed in mobile browsers are
recorded as part of the events logs.
The usual occurrences: The logged actions that make up the Facebook pixel's
standard events are ones that have been predefined by Facebook. You'll be able
to build audiences, optimize for conversions, and capture specific actions with
the help of standard events. If the requirements for the information collecting
that you have are usual, you can decide to build standard events. The terms
"Purchase," "Add to Cart," and "Lead" are all examples of common occurrences.
Personalized happenings You are able to specify and log actions as "custom
events" for the Facebook pixel so that it can better suit the information
collection needs of your organization. You might decide to put these events into
effect if your requirements for information collection are unusually specific.
You are able to capture certain activities and generate audiences with the help
of bespoke events. However, unless these events are mapped to a specific
conversion, our system will not permit you to optimise towards these events
nor will it reflect their quantities in any reports that you generate. You can find a
list of preconfigured standard events by going to the website that contains the
Specifications for Facebook Pixel Standard Events.
You have the ability to build individualized conversions for either the standard
or the custom events. You'll be able to measure more specific client activities if
you use custom conversions because they let you establish rules for pixel
events or URLs. For example, you can make a rule that will record and measure
all purchases that were more than $40 utilizing pixel events and parameters,
then construct the rule. For additional information regarding custom
conversions, please see the page under "About Custom Conversions."
Facebook SDK
The Facebook Software Development Kit (SDK) is an analytics tool that gives
you the ability to gather and measure the activities that users perform within
your app. You are able to direct, measure, and optimize the delivery of your
advertisements to the individuals on Facebook who are most likely to take
action by using the Facebook Software Development Kit (SDK). The following
procedures make up the various stages of the
After it has been implemented, the SDK will begin to monitor the app events
that are occurring within your app. There are three distinct event categories that
makeup app events, each of which might assist you in keeping track of activities
within your app. Automatic events, standard events, and custom events are the
three app event kinds that are available.
The usual occurrences: Standard Events are logged actions that have been set
by Facebook and come with parameters that you may use to access more
specific event information. These events are part of the Facebook SDK. These
events for the Facebook pixel are identical to the conventional events that are
available. However, if you use SDK, you have the opportunity to measure app-
specific actions, such as events for the gaming vertical, ad clicks, and ad
impressions. This is a significant advantage. Personalized happenings Custom
events in the Facebook SDK are activities that are measured and can be set by
you to meet the information collection requirements specific to your
application. The only difference is that these events will take place on your app
rather than on your website, just like they do for pixel.
Conversions Made Offline: Offline Conversions is an analytics tool that lets you
connect information about offline events to Facebook, such as data from your
customer relationship management system or point of sale. We match your
customer information, using a secure matching process, to people who saw or
clicked on your ads in order to determine how much offline activity can be
attributed to your ads while they are running across Facebook, Instagram, and
Audience Network. This allows us to determine how much offline activity can be
attributed to your ads. You can bring a wide variety of offline events, such as
trade shows or concerts, back to your Facebook campaigns.
Transactions carried out in your various stores. Open house visits · Calls for an
insurance quote. Email reservation for travel that has been confirmed.
The following are the stages that make up the process of putting in place Offline
Conversion:
Set up: Establish your event set through either the Business Manager or the API,
then assign it to the ad account (or accounts) you wish to track, and turn on
auto-tracking.
Conduct: Carry out your marketing efforts using Facebook, Instagram, and
Audience Network. Ads Manager and Facebook Analytics both allow you to view
the results of your campaign. After you have finished implementing your offline
conversions, you are able to begin logging offline event sets. Among the
categories that make up an offline event set are ones for upload events and
custom conversion events.
Uploading happenings: The upload events that you want to schedule are
created when offline information is uploaded to the offline events tool in
Business Manager. There are three ways to connect the information you have
stored offline, including the following: Upload of transactions using the CSV file
manually: Every day, upload a CSV file that contains all of your transactions.
Requires no technical expertise. Integration with an Application Programming
Interface (API): Direct integration from the client's customer system to
Facebook for real-time coverage Leverage partnerships with customer system
vendors and systems integrators. Technology partners. All of the advantages of
an API, without the burden of having to build it yourself.
For additional information regarding offline event sets, please see the Create
Offline Event Sets page. Keeping Tabs on the Parameters Together with events,
additional information can be transmitted through the pixel or SDK with the
help of parameters. You are free to specify or alter the parameters of your
Online or App Events however you see fit. By properly configuring the
parameters of your event, you can increase the likelihood that you will collect
the data that is of the utmost importance to your company.
·Value · Content IDs · Contents · Content Type · Value You could, for instance,
measure your return on ad spend by passing the value of your event through
the pixel or the SDK. This would allow you to track the effectiveness of your
advertising. Let's say you sell shoes. You have the option of using the value
parameter of the Purchase pixel event to transmit the value of the shoes. To
configure the following aspects of your events: Navigate to the page on the
website where you inserted the
Facebook pixel: Find the piece of code that corresponds to your event. You can
make changes to or add new code for the parameter you want. You could also
decide to collaborate with the web developer working on your site in order to
add an additional line of code to your pixel. You can learn more about how to
set a parameter for an event by going to the page designated for setting the
value and currency of your Facebook pixel standard events. Facebook ad
placements Within Facebook Products, there is a wide variety of ad placements
available, some of which are as follows: Comparison between automatically and
manually selected placements You have the option of either allowing Facebook
to place your ads for you (known as automatic placements) or manually select
the locations on Facebook where you want your ad to appear (edit placements).
Automatic placements: You should go with the automatic placements, as that
was our recommendation. Your advertisement is able to be delivered through all
placements when you use automatic placements. This elicits efficiencies in the
delivery of your advertisement, which helps you get more results for your
budget.
You can find out more about the options that aren't compatible with asset
customization by going to the page that's dedicated to troubleshooting asset
customization for placements. Security of the Brand There are three different
brand safety tools that can prevent certain kinds of content from appearing
alongside your advertisements when they are placed in Instant Articles,
Audience Network, or In-Stream Video placements. The following are the three
brands of safety tools: Inventory Filter: This feature enables you to choose the
degree of discretion required for the content on which your advertisements are
displayed. Regardless of whether you select full, standard, or limited inventory,
we will automatically prevent your content from being displayed on the content
that is considered to be the most contentious. By default, these placements do
not permit content that contains nudity or excessive violence. Ads Manager
currently has the inventory filter selected. Take note that you will not have
access to this capability unless you choose to edit the placements.
Publisher List and Publisher Delivery Report: You are able to review our
categorized list of publisher apps, websites, and Pages where your
advertisements might be delivered. This list is organized according to the type
of placement. You can review the locations where your advertisements were
actually delivered by pulling a publisher delivery report either during or after a
campaign. Within Business Manager, one can view both the Publisher List as well
as the Publisher Delivery Report.
Block Lists: You have the ability to upload a block list of URLs (to which you do
not wish for your advertisement to be delivered). In either Ads Manager or
Business Manager, you will find the option to upload block lists.
CAMPAIGN AUDIENCES
Audience options: Using audience targeting, you can ensure that your
advertisements are shown to the people who are important to you. When it
comes to the creation of a target audience, you have the option of taking either
a narrow or a wide-ranging approach. The strategy that you go with will be
determined by the goals you have set for yourself as well as the resources that
are at your disposal. You have access to three different targeting options, all of
which are derived from the information that is native to Facebook.
Core Audiences
Lookalike Audiences
Core Audiences: When selecting the Core Audience option, data is collected
from the things that users choose to include in their profiles and the actions
that they take while using our service. You will have a better chance of
successfully marketing your campaign to the appropriate people if you first
determine who your Core Audience is. For instance, you could target your
advertisements toward mothers who have an interest in sports, who live in a
large city, and who are conscious of the environment. Detailed targeting is a
targeting option that can be found in the audience section of Ads Manager. This
option gives you the ability to refine the group of people who will see your
advertisements. This is something that can be accomplished with data such as
additional demographics, interests, and behaviors.
These granular targeting options may be determined by factors such as the ads
that the user taps or clicks; the pages that they interact with; the activities that
users carry out on Facebook in relation to topics such as their device usage and
travel preferences; demographic information such as age, gender, and location;
the type of device that the user employs and the bandwidth of their network
connection; and so on.
Individualized Target Groups Through the use of the Custom Audience option,
advertisers are able to reach people across devices based on the information
they already have access to in a manner that does not compromise their
privacy. You can generate Custom Audiences by making use of your own sources
or by making use of sources provided by Facebook.
Create Targeted Audiences Specially Tailored to Your Sources You can generate
Custom Audiences by using your information in conjunction with the following
sources: A Customer File, Offline Activity, the Facebook Pixel (which tracks
website traffic), the Facebook Software Development Kit (which tracks app
activity), and Engagement on Facebook In order to use the information from
your customer files or offline activities to generate Custom Audiences, you will
need to upload a list of CRM information (such as email addresses or phone
numbers) into your browser. All of the information that you upload to the
website is hashed locally on your computer by your browser. The following step
is a comparison of your list to the data we have. We will add the Facebook user
to a Custom Audience that is saved within your ad account whenever a hash is
found that matches. When the matching procedure is finished, we will delete the
records. every single one of the hashes, regardless of whether or not they
match. The end result is a Custom Audience consisting of accounts that have a
chance of seeing your advertisements. Your ad account is where the Custom
Audiences are stored and only authorized account admins are able to deliver
campaigns to those audiences. You are only able to view an estimate of the total
number of people that are included in the Custom Audiences; you are unable to
view the specific individuals that are included in these audiences.
SPECIFIC TARGET AUDIENCE: Note: Before the API can be transferred, all
Personally Identifiable Information (PII) must first be hashed by the partner. The
user interface takes care of hashing on its own. SHA 256 is supported by
Facebook. Pixel allows you to generate custom audiences for your ads. Custom
Audiences from Your Website is a Targeting Option That Matches People Who
Visit Your Website with People on Facebook Using the Facebook Pixel. This is
done by Matching Custom Audiences from Your Website with People on
Facebook. After that, you can design an advertisement to be displayed for those
people. You can create a Custom Audience from your website for any group of
visitors that you would like to reach with targeted Facebook ads. This can be
done for any audience that you would like to reach. For instance, you could run
a campaign that targets people who have visited a product page but have not
yet completed a purchase to encourage them to return to the website and do
so. This would increase the likelihood of a sale being made. You also have the
option of building an audience consisting of all of the people who have visited
your website within the last month. (Rather than basing this timeframe on the
specific number of days that have passed since the Custom Audience was
created, this timeframe is based on a rolling number of days). Within Ads
Manager, you have the ability to generate a
Custom Audience based on the events that occur on your website. For
additional information regarding the creation of Custom Audiences with
Facebook pixel, please go to the page entitled "Create a Custom Audience from
Website Events."
SDK Allows You to Create Your Own Target Audiences. The creation of a
"Custom Audience" is an excellent method for targeting advertisements toward
particular groups of users who are most likely to engage in the behavior that you
want them to engage in while using your app. Using the Facebook Software
Development Kit (SDK), you are able to specify whom you want to include in
your Custom Audience by passing information to Facebook from your app and
using that information to do so. For instance, if you run an app ad engagement
campaign with the Traffic or Conversion objective, it's possible that your ads will
perform better if you create a Custom Audience comprised of people who have
already installed your app on their devices. People who already have the app
downloaded but don't interact with it as frequently as you'd like will be the
focus of the advertisements that you run. Within Ads Manager, you have the
ability to generate a Custom Audience based on the events that occur within
your app. For additional information regarding the creation of Custom
Audiences with Facebook SDK, please go to the page entitled "Create a Custom
Audience for your app ads."
Remember that the minimum size for a Custom Audience or to build a Lookalike
Audience is 100 people from a single-origin country. This is the case whether
you want to create a Lookalike Audience or a Custom Audience. Despite this, our
recommendation is to use at least one thousand. Create Your Own Target
Audiences Utilizing Facebook Sources You can generate Custom Audiences from
information on Facebook using any one of the following sources: a video, a lead
form, a full-screen experience, a Facebook page, an Instagram business profile,
and an event are some of the components that make up this package. People
who have interacted with your content in one or more Facebook products can
be compiled into what is known as a Facebook Engagement Custom Audience.
Actions such as spending time watching your videos, opening your lead form, or
clicking on your Collection ad are examples of what is referred to as
"engagement." People who use a full-screen experience, interact with your
Facebook Page or Instagram business profile, or respond to your event could
also be a source of this data. Through the use of engagement Custom
Audiences, you are able to target individuals who have performed the
aforementioned actions with your advertisements.
Please be aware that Custom Audiences from Engagement are distinct from
Custom Audiences derived from your website. Custom Audiences from your
website use actions taken on your website, which is measured by the Facebook
pixel. Engagement Custom Audiences use actions taken on Facebook's family of
apps and services. While both do take actions into account, engagement
Custom Audiences use actions taken on Facebook's family of apps and services.
Most similar Least similar Source Audience 1% Lookalike The size of your
audience can range anywhere from 1% to 10% of the total population of
Facebook in the countries that you select, with 1% consisting of people who are
the closest match to your source. Within Ads Manager, you will find the option
to create a Lookalike Audience.
Offline Event Set Audience. Objectives for Creatives Reach, Brand Awareness,
Video Views, Website Traffic, App Installs, Website Conversions, Single Image,
Video, and Slideshows Value-based Lookalike You can find new high-value
customers for your company by creating value-based lookalikes using the
information from your pixel, SDK, or catalog. Offline Conversions information
can also be used. We are able to automatically generate value-based Lookalikes
for you by utilizing the signals from these data sources as well as the values you
have provided in order to calculate the Lifetime Value of your customers and
create new audiences. People who are similar to your most valuable existing
customers will be included in the audiences that are developed. In Ads Manager,
you have the ability to develop a value-based Lookalike Audience.
Retargeting options: People who visited your website or mobile app but did not
complete the conversion process can be reengaged with your brand through the
use of retargeting. You'll be able to use your Facebook Custom Audience for this
if you've already implemented the Facebook Pixel or SDK to capture events.
When you use retargeting, the people who have interacted with your website or
mobile app in the past are taken into account, and your retargeted
advertisements are shown to them when they interact with other websites or
mobile apps. You are able to generate custom audiences from an offline activity
if the relevant information from your CRM has been uploaded. You are able to
retarget customers by using the information from Offline Events or you're able
to exclude customers who have recently made purchases offline so that you can
find new customers.
Targeting in a broad sense When you target a broad audience, you are putting
the majority of the responsibility for selecting the most suitable recipients of
your advertisement on your shoulders. This strategy has the potential to
introduce you to people who, under normal circumstances, you would be
unaware of. If you are unsure of whom you want to target with your
advertisements, one option is to broaden the scope of your targeting. You can
learn more about the different types of people we found for you and how they
responded to your ads by visiting the Audience Insights website or looking at
the ads reporting in the Ads Manager interface.
Ads that are dynamic and aimed at large audiences Finding new clients for your
company can be accomplished with the help of dynamic advertisements
targeted toward large audiences. If you do this, rather than focusing on
customers who have previously visited, browsed, or made purchases on your
website, you will be able to broaden the scope of your target audience. Taking
aim at the most effective methods Make use of these guidelines to ensure that
you are adhering to the best practices for targeting: Avoid audience overlap:
When there is audience overlap, multiple ad sets are being delivered to
audiences that are composed of the same individuals. Because the ad auction
makes an effort to prevent showing the same person from the same advertiser
over and over again within a short amount of time, audience overlap may be the
reason why some ad sets aren't making their full budgets despite their efforts.
Limiting the number of ad sets that target the same people is one way to
prevent audience overlap.
Use audience exclusions. Take into consideration that audience overlap isn't
necessarily a problem in every situation. When there is only a slight overlap, it
might not be a problem and might not even affect performance, but when there
is a significant amount of overlap, it might cause problems. For instance, if you
have 0% audience overlap but you're still having delivery issues, you can be
more confident that overlap isn't the root of the problem because there isn't
any overlap between the two audiences. Exclude using a deliberate strategy:
While it is important to target the appropriate audience, it is equally important
to carefully consider who should not be included in that audience. When using
broad and interest targeting with the goal of expanding your customer base, it is
important to remember to exclude the following categories of people: Custom
Audiences, Lookalike Audiences, Loyal Customers, and Existing Customers are
the Four Types of Customers You Should Target. Make sure that any audiences
that may overlap in ad sets are excluded from those sets.
Solve Business Challenges: You can learn about markets, cultural trends, and
people who matter to your business by using Facebook insight tools, which can
help you to resolve the challenges you face in running your business. Facebook
IQ insights can also assist you in this endeavor. The following are examples of
Facebook insight tools: Learn about people across all of Facebook's platforms
by gaining insights about their locations, interests, and behaviors with Audience
Insights. This will allow you to create messages that will assist in the expansion
of your company. Facebook Audience Insights provides you with aggregate
information about two groups of people: people connected to your Page and
people on Facebook. With this information, you are able to create content that
resonates and easily find more people who are similar to those who are already
in your audience. Ads Manager includes a tool called Audience Insights for users
to make use of. Learn about holiday shopping trends in more than 25 different
markets with the Holiday Season Insights report. Insights to Go allows users to
filter, search for, download, and share the most recent statistics. You can sort
the insights by region, industry, audience, cultural moment, and campaign
planning tactics such as platform, channel, creative format, and measurement
by using filters or the search bar.
Publicity sale: During an advertising auction, the ads that have been selected for
your audience are ranked, and we look for the one that is most likely to maximize
value for both the people and the advertisers. When participating in an auction,
the ads are ranked according to their total value, and the individual whose ad
has the highest total value is the winner of the auction.
Advertiser bid: The amount that you bid for an advertisement. Action rates that
are estimated: How likely it is that a person seeing your advertisement will result
in the outcome you want them to have:
What are the estimated rates of action? an ad that is optimized for clicks An ad
that is optimized for conversions based on clickthroughs (Price paid per click)
multiplied by (estimated click-through rate) plus (User value) (Ask price per
conversion) multiplied by (estimated click-through rate) multiplied by
(estimated click–to–conversion rate) plus (User value)
User value refers to the quality of the advertisement as well as how relevant it
is to the person who has chosen it. The quality of an advertisement is derived
from a variety of different sources, such as the responses of people who view or
hide the advertisement, as well as evaluations of clickbait, engagement bait, and
other poor user experiences.
Think about the experience that users have when they land on your website and
try to avoid the following: a misleading transition from the advertisement to the
landing page; a disproportionate number of ads in relation to the content;
content that is sexually suggestive or shocking; pages that contain malicious or
deceptive advertisements; the use of pop-up or interstitial advertisements.
A method of pacing: Pacing is our system for optimizing your budget so that we
spend it as evenly as possible over the lifetime of your ad set. This prevents us
from blowing through your budget too quickly on ineffective results. Pacing
allows us the flexibility to assist you in achieving the best possible results for
your goals by enabling us to modify the two components that comprise our
pacing system: The aspect of pacing known as "bid pacing," in which we adjust
your bid or choose which auctions to enter based on how much of both your
budget and your time is still available for your ad set.
Budget pacing refers to the aspect of pacing in which we may increase the
amount of budget that we spend if there is an opportunity to get a large number
of optimization events with costs that are aligned with your bid strategy.
One of the advertiser's controls that you are able to adjust when you are
creating an ad set is "when you get charged," also known as your charge choice.
Your selection of a charge lets us know what and when you will pay for your
advertisement, as well as the categories of events that you would like your
budget to support financially. The choices available to you are determined by
the objective that you have selected. You have the option of changing your
charge choice, despite the fact that doing so is not generally recommended;
however, if there is a particular reason why you want to be charged on a CPC,
you do have the ability to do so. You will incur costs whenever one of your many
optimization goals is reached because of this (known as an impression). You are
also given the option to pick between impressions and actions with certain
optimization goals (such as link clicks, views o installs).
Bid strategies
There are four different bid strategies available to choose from, in addition to
the option to forego entering a cost control: Lowest cost: If you want to spend
as much of your budget as possible without having to worry about keeping costs
within a certain range, the strategy with the lowest cost bid should be the one
you choose. You don't have a specific cost threshold to meet when you use the
lowest-cost bidding strategy; instead, you put more emphasis on spending
budget than cost control.
The strategy of seeking the lowest possible cost could result in greater price
variation. For instance, if there is less competition at auctions, prices might fall
as a result. If there is more competition at the auction, the prices might go up.
We are going to make every effort to get you the greatest number of results that
are relevant to your ad set.
Cost limit: If you want to maximize your cost-efficiency but have to keep your
costs within a certain range, the cost limit bid strategy is the one you should go
with. With the help of this bid strategy, you are able to give us the cost of the
results that are important to you. This may make it possible for us to accomplish
the highest possible number of conversions. Your estimate of the cost serves as
a benchmark against which we compare our efforts to locate activities with the
fewest expenses.
Target cost: If you want to maintain stable cost per result as your spend
increases and you are willing to trade cost efficiency for cost stability, the
target-cost bid strategy is the one you should choose to use as your bid
strategy. Even if you increase your spending limit, using this bid strategy will
bring your stable average cost (over the lifetime of your ad set) to a level that is
as close to your cost target as it is possible to get. In order to preserve this
equilibrium, we might occasionally choose more expensive results over ones
that are available at a lower cost. We advise going with the target-cost bid
strategy if maintaining consistent average costs is a higher priority for your
business. The cost-cap bid strategy is one that we recommend using if you are
less concerned about maintaining stable average costs and more concerned
about obtaining events with lower costs.
Choose the bid-cap bid strategy if you want to set a maximum bid across
auctions. This will limit what we bid in each individual auction and allow us to
communicate with the greatest number of people possible at that price. This
bidding strategy aims to achieve the greatest possible volume for a given
maximum bid, which, in turn, can help advertisers compete more effectively
with those who target audiences that are similar to their own. We advise going
with the cost-cap bid strategy if you are interested in controlling the cost of the
actual results.
Target Cost Bid Cap with the Lowest Possible Cost Cap Ideal for maximizing
spending within a given budget; locating opportunities with the lowest possible
price Best for maximizing cost-effectiveness and getting the most volume
possible while staying within your acceptable CPA/CPI range. The most effective
method for ensuring cost stability is Optimal for Maintaining order during the
bidding process in an auction
Things to think about include: Whether or not you are willing to sacrifice cost
control in exchange for opportunities with a lower spending budget or lower
costs overall. Things to consider: Costs might go up as the budget goes up
Things to consider: Costs might stay the same as the budget goes up, which
means you might have to forego inexpensive results You're willing to trade cost-
effectiveness for cost stability Things to think about include the following: The
bid is different from the cost per result – the bid isn't what you will see in
reporting. It's possible that the full budget won't be spent.
Pacing is a tool that Facebook uses to ensure that your in-auction bid is in line
with the bid strategy you've selected. By "discounting" your bid at the
appropriate times, the pacing is what enables us to squeeze the most value out
of your financial resources. The system will automatically adjust your bid during
the auction so that it is in line with the strategy you have selected. As a
consequence of this, you have the ability to increase or decrease your bid on a
per-auction basis, as well as choose which auctions to participate in and which
ones to pass up. You might decide to adjust your bid strategy based on what you
consider to be the most important factors. Use the lowest-cost bidding method
if obtaining volume is the primary focus of your business. Utilize a system for
controlling costs such as the lowest cost with a bid cap or cost cap if you want
to protect yourself from spiraling expenditures.
Control lies with the advertiser. The advertiser-set controls are the inputs that
can be changed by the advertiser to help improve the performance of the
advertisement. Our auction and pacing systems are both guided by these
options as well. You will be able to adjust the potential reach and spending if
you make changes to the advertiser controls that you have opted into, which
may have an effect on the costs that are incurred. There are many different
advertiser control adjustments that can be made in order to optimize the
performance of your
Placement: You have the option of enabling the system to deliver your
advertisement across all available placements (referred to as automatic
placements), or you can manually select the placements where your
advertisement is eligible to appear (edit placement). You need to make yourself
available for as many placements as you feel comfortable doing so. We strongly
suggest that you go with the automatic placement option due to the fact that
the more placements you enable, the more inventory you'll have access to,
which in most cases contributes to reduced expenses and a greater number of
outcomes for your budget.
Targeting: You have the ability to change your targeting as you seek out new
audiences to reach or as you seek to alter the people you are reaching in a more
general sense. You can also choose to broaden or confine your target
demographic in order to zero in on the people who constitute the most vital
part of your business. It is not recommended that you restrict your target
audience any further than is required for your company because doing so would
limit the opportunities for reaching those customers. In addition, if you have a
high percentage of reach against your audience, it may be important to broaden
the audience that your Facebook ads are directed toward in order to continue to
find success with them.
Budget: You are able to modify your budgets based on how well your campaign
is doing or if you have additional budgets to spend on Facebook if either of
these situations applies to you. Because doing so prompts the system to re-
enter the learning phase, which can result in price instability, we do not advise
that you make frequent changes to the budgets for your campaigns.
Scheduling: You are able to exercise control over the reach and frequency of
your advertisement's delivery through the controls. There are three options
available for delivery when it comes to reaching and frequency of
advertisements:
Rate • Day-Parting
Budget
You will determine a budget for each individual advertisement. If your ads are
configured for accelerated delivery, we will not attempt to spend your budget in
an even manner throughout the duration of the time they are running if your
budget has already been established. You have the option of using either a daily
budget or a lifetime budget when you use an auction. Because the daily budget
setting is the default for every campaign, make sure that your settings are up to
date by selecting the appropriate option.
Choose the budget alternative from the menu. When you choose your budget
using campaign-level budgets, you will have the opportunity to select your
budget at the campaign level. You can select your budget for the ad set level if
your campaign is not using budgets at the campaign level. It is possible to go
over your spending limit if you do not adjust your budget settings to the
appropriate option.
The gold standard for CBOs: Only use the ad set spend limits when absolutely
necessary, or not at all. You have the option of putting a limit on the amount of
money that your ad set can spend by using a setting known as ad set spend
limits. The more of your budget that is dedicated to particular ad sets, the less
flexibility our delivery system has to maximize the effectiveness of your
campaign budget.
Be aware that the maximum number of ad sets that can be used in a campaign
that utilizes CBO is 200. However, campaigns that contain more than 70 ad sets
will have their editing functionality severely restricted. It is considered "best
practice" to have fewer than 70 different ad sets.
Check to see that every ad set in your campaign can be delivered successfully.
When an ad set isn't delivering, there are no opportunities for it to produce
results because it isn't being seen. Because of this, we will not be able to
allocate a budget to it. CBO functions most effectively when all ad sets within a
campaign are permitted to spend the entire budget, but we are given the
opportunity to select only the most successful outcomes from each ad set. You
can try increasing your bid caps or target costs (if it is possible and applicable),
making adjustments to your targeting and creative, or switching to a more
common optimization event if any of your ad sets aren't delivering the results
you want. Avoid pausing ad sets. Putting an ad set with a low delivery rate on
hold today could make it more difficult for CBOs to find opportunities
tomorrow.
You are able to make more informed decisions regarding delivery control with
the help of estimated daily results by: estimating results such as website
conversions; setting realistic expectations for results; understanding the daily
impact of changes to the budget, bid, targeting, and placement; and setting
realistic expectations for results. What factors go into determining the daily
estimated results?
Creative Strategy
Advertising layouts and positions. Your company's primary objective as well as
the kinds of high-quality assets at your disposal should guide your choice of
advertisement format. There are six primary types of advertisements:
Single video
You can prompt action from the video if you use it in conjunction with the
appropriate targeting, optimization, and call–to–action, which makes it an
effective medium for your advertisements. You can use a variety of different ad
objectives when creating video ads on Facebook.
Carousel
You are able to display multiple images or videos in a carousel format, and they
move horizontally from left to right. This format works well for telling stories as
well as displaying videos and images of your brand's products, apps, or services.
Carousel ads offer a versatile method of advertising your products, services,
apps, or promotions without requiring you to create multiple ads individually.
Slideshow
You can create an advertisement out of still images, and it will function exactly
like a video when it is viewed. Slideshow advertisements offer an alternative to
video production that comes at a lower cost because they allow you to give
motion to static assets. You can grab people's attention and tell a story by
combining a number of different images (or videos), as well as text and sound.
Slideshow advertisements will play in the same way as videos on Facebook and
Instagram when viewed on mobile devices, tablets, and desktop computers. The
collection combines a video or photo with four different images of the
corresponding product. When users click on this advertisement, they are taken
to a mobile-optimized experience that is full-screen and loads within the
Facebook app. This experience showcases multiple products. Instant Experience
Instant Experience gives you the ability to add a full-screen experience to any
advertisement format. When a user taps on an advertisement while using
Facebook or Instagram, the user is taken to a landing page known as Instant
Experience, which loads in an instant.
Because Instant Experiences are native to the platform, their loading times are
significantly lower than those of an external website. Formats and placements in
accordance with the aims of the campaign As was mentioned earlier, it is
important that the objective of the campaign, you choose aligns with the goals
of your overall business. However, it is essential to keep in mind that the
objective of the campaign you select will also determine the placements and ad
formats that are available to you.
The following is a list of the various ad formats and placements that are
available for each goal:
Reach •
Traffic •
Engagement
App Installs •
Video Views
Generation of Leads
Messages
Conversions
Catalog Sales
Take note that you have the option to create slideshow ads whenever you
choose a single image or video format.
Take advantage of video because it can prompt both brand and direct response
outcomes. The videos that are used in advertisements these days are
interactive, shorter, and mobile. Videos, when paired with the appropriate
targeting, optimization, and call-to-action, have the ability to prompt action,
which makes it a more functional medium for direct response than it has been in
the past. Videos can prompt action.
Ads on videos should be optimized for viewing on mobile devices: On the basis
of how people view content on mobile devices, we recommend the following:
Creating short videos (at least 15 seconds long); Capturing attention quickly;
Incorporating the brand early; Designing for sound-off experiences; Building for
vertical viewing; Incorporating the brand early; Incorporating the brand early;
Incorporating the brand early;1Moving images and still images complement one
another more effectively. When compared to campaigns that only use static
images, the conversion lift outcomes of direct response campaigns that
combine video and static image ads are significantly higher. This suggests that
the two formats might complement one another in terms of the messaging they
convey and/or attract different audiences.
Mobile advertisers can use information and insights to fuel their marketing
strategies by optimizing their creative work, which can help improve their
results. Testing different versions of your creative can assist you in optimizing
your campaign and can have a significant bearing on how well it does.
Additionally, optimization can assist in warding off creative burnout. The
performance of your advertisements can suffer from creative fatigue if they are
shown too frequently. If you are concerned that the originality of your
advertising might be fading: a reduction in CTR in proportion to an increase in
frequency b) an increase in CPA in proportion to a reduction in CTR
Measurement And Reporting
Tools for taking measurements
Conversion Lift: This refers to the process of measuring the additional impact
that your advertisement has on the results of sales.
Split Testing: Measure each variable of your advertisement in its own right to
determine how best to improve its performance. Measure the effectiveness of
your advertisements in relation to a variety of channels, publishers, and devices
using attribution.
Use reporting to see if your ads are helping you meet your business goals in real
time. Set up a Facebook pixel and/or SDK so that you can use Facebook ads
reporting to see: \s· How many conversions have happened \s· The cost per
conversion \s· The overall value of your conversions You can choose to display
metrics for all of your campaigns, ad sets or ads in table format.
The Results column shows you the number of outcomes for the
objective/optimization you've selected. You can use it to compare the
performance among similar campaigns and identify areas of opportunity to get
better results.
You can also select metrics for predefined reports or customize your metrics to
display the particular columns you want from the Columns drop-down: To
display columns for pre-defined reports, select from the options such as
Performance, Delivery and Engagement. \s· To display customized columns,
click the Customize Columns option and select or remove your columns from
the \spop-up window. Additionally, you can segment your information using the
breakdown drop-down to display the age of your audience, where they are
viewing your ads, what devices they are using, and more.
You can use your reporting results to understand how your ads are doing mid-
campaign. If your campaign isn't meeting your business goals, adjust your
advertiser controls such as targeting, frequency and placement to direct your
campaign accordingly. Remember that, although they're not required for the
measurement of some objectives, you need the pixel and/or SDK implemented
to be able to measure online conversions. It’s a good idea to implement these
data sources so you can use the information collected to see how your
customers are moving through your purchase funnel as well as across devices.
Brand Lift
Brand Lift helps you measure the impact of your advertising on consumer
attitudes toward your brand. The Brand Lift methodology randomizes your
audience into test (exposed) and control (not exposed) groups with similar
characteristics. We then show the test group your Facebook ads, but don't show
your control group any of your Facebook ads. Next, we deliver a poll that
contains questions you chose to evaluate the impact on brand metrics. You can
use Brand Lift to Understand how well your campaign resonates with your
audience.
See how your campaign performs against the norms for campaigns in your
industry and your region. See the demographic breakdowns (age, gender, TV
viewership groups, and video play durations) that cause the highest lift. For
managed brand lift studies, you must work with a Facebook Account Team to set
up the tests. Note: Managed brand lift tests can be single- or multi-cell.
The Test and Learn brand lift study uses the same methodologies as the
managed brand lift study but, with Test and Learn, you can create them yourself
in the Test and Learn tool in Ads Manager. There are two Test and Learn options
for brand lift: How much impact is my campaign having on brand perception·
How much impact are all my Facebook ads having on brand perception?
Currently, Test and Learn for brand lift studies is limited to US English only as
you can’t get your poll questions translated. Visit the Test and Learn Guide:
Brand Lift Test Best Practices page to learn more about Test and Learn brand lift
best practices. Note: Test and Learn brand lifts can only be single-cell.
Conversion Lift
Conversion Lift, which uses test and control groups, can help you measure your
return on investment by evaluating the true business value associated with your
campaign. You can accomplish this by working with your Facebook Sales
Representative and in Ads Manager. Conversion lift studies can include single-
cell or multi-cell tests, which help you see the value Facebook is providing your
business and compare different strategies. A conversion lift study can be set up
with one or more exposed groups: A study with a single exposed group (single
cell) can show you how advertising on Facebook may lead to additional
business. For example, if you run a conversion lift study on your next campaign,
you should be able to find out whether or not your ads resulted in more
conversions than if you didn’t run your ads. A study with multiple exposed
groups (multi-cell) can help you compare different strategies and determine
what advertising approach works best for your audience. After the study is
complete you can go to your Test and Learn tool to see metrics such as:
Optimize measurement
To help get you the best results possible, leverage Facebook’s split testing
solution for an optimization. Split Testing, also known as A/B testing, lets you
test different versions of your ads across multiple devices, so you can see what
works best and improve future campaigns. Split Testing divides your audience
into random, non-overlapping groups. Facebook will duplicate your ads and only
change the one variable \ that you choose, which is the difference between each
ad set being tested. The cost per result of each ad set is calculated and
compared and the ad set with the lowest cost per result, such as cost per
website purchase, wins. After the test is complete, you will get a notification and
email with the results. There are three self-serve ways to create your split test in
Ads Manager:
Use split testing, conversion lift, and/or brand lift to evaluate if your campaign is
performing optimally. It's also a good practice to determine which elements \ of
your campaign are generating more incremental results and optimize towards
those elements. You can use what you learn to inform your current and \ future
campaigns.
Determine effectiveness
Rule-based attribution models are ones that allow you to select the rule that
will determine how conversions should be attributed to different touchpoints.
Examples of rule-based models include \s· Single-touch models: Give credit to
only one touchpoint. Multi-touch models: Give credit to multiple touchpoints in
the consumer's conversion path Statistical attribution models. Statistical
attribution models are ones that allow you to look at historical information to
determine credit and vary depending on your business.
Facebook Attribution.
Facebook Marketing Partners (FMPs) are vetted top-tier companies that build
their product and value-added service on Facebook. Partner Directory. As an
alternative to the measurement solutions already covered (first-party
