With 3.06 billion monthly active users (37% of the world’s population), Facebook remains a dominant digital advertising platform. Facebook’s advertising tools and algorithms have evolved and provide new ways for brands to connect with their audience. However, staying updated with these changes and effectively utilizing them is important for marketers to get the desired results. So, in this blog, we’ll discover a comprehensive guide to Facebook Ads.
What Are Facebook Ads? How Many Types of Facebook Ads?
Facebook Ads are paid posts allowing businesses to showcase their products or services to users. These ads come in various formats, such as images, video and carousels and appear throughout the platform like users’ feeds, stories, messenger, marketplace and more.
Targeted based on demographics, location interests and online behaviours, Facebook Ads allow businesses to set a budget and bid on clicks or impressions. Even though they look similar to regular posts, they are labelled as ‘sponsored’ and often come with call-to-action(CTA) buttons, links and product catalogues. Facebook Ad is a powerful tool for businesses that want to boost brand visibility, cater to more potential customers and generate more income by converting their targeted audiences from viewers to customers.
Steps to Set Up Facebook Ads
Are you ready to advertise? Here are the steps to set up your campaign by using Meta Ads Manager:
Step 1: Create an Ad Campaign
Log in to Meta Ads Manager, and click “Create” to set up a new campaign, ad set, or ad.
Step 2: Choose a Campaign Objective
Choose your objective based on your goal:
– Awareness: Introduce your brand to new users.

Step 5: Target Your Audience
Use Meta’s Advantage+ (automatic targeting) for beginner-friendly targeting, or manually customize your audience by demographics, location, interests, etc.

3. For conversion campaigns (like sales or lead generation), 10,000 to 50,000 is usually a good starting point.
Step 6: Choose Ad Placements
Opt for Advantage+ (automatic placements) or manually select platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, or Audience Network. Choose specific placements like Feeds, Stories, and Reels.
