Digital SEO Marketing Launceston - Facebook Ads Lessons to raise your Effect


Digital SEO Marketing Launceston is not as simple as building a website there are of countless different Digital SEO Marketing concepts to try and understand yourself as a website owner. It is for this reason I plan to show to you a few lessons that I have learnt about Facebook Ads. Why Facebook ads? Because Social media is crucial to Digital SEO Marketing, and because there are plenty of facts about Facebook Ads that I wished I knew when I first started investing with them.

Lesson # 1-- Location, Location, location-- Don't waste your money

If you have made a Facebook ad before you would know that you should select a location. So if you are a local Launceston Business then you will want to set the location to Launceston. It just works, right?

But what some people overlook is that they choose by default the option for "Everyone in this Location".

So I desire to mention to you what that actually means.-- 'everyone in this location' means every single person in whose Facebook says that they are in Launceston will be possibly targeted by your ad. This is pretty specific, and yet still broad enough to where you may be wasting money.

People often don't realise, but that 'everyone' button is actually a drop down option, and from there you can chose whether you want people who reside in Launceston, or maybe just people visiting.

So depending on your company, you may wish to be targeting people that are visiting or even on holiday in Launceston. By selecting the option for this you can make sure you are getting in touch with the specific people that will hopefully be engaging with your business, and therefore get a better engagement rate on your effort.

But what it also means that if you just keep choosing 'everyone in this location' then you are by default wasting a few of your ad's reach on people that are just visiting.

So don't forget this option exists, and have a think about what options are going to promote your business.

Lesson # 2-- Mobile platforms are key

When selecting your platform, don't fall into the trap of selecting just the desktop version. As we all are probably aware, most of Facebook users are young, and younger audiences practically only use mobile devices. Recent figures from Facebook show that almost 50 % of users under the age of 35 only use a mobile device to access Facebook.

Now, it really does depend on your audience, but even though you are targeting at an older demographic, most will still have mobile devices capable of using Facebook, so don't overlook this option.

What this means is just because you may be on a laptop when you make and edit an ad, don't fall into the trap of assuming that people will be seeing your ad on a desktop too. This means be sure you look to make sure the ad works for mobile in the preview, and you explore the amount of ads you want aimed completely to 'mobile.

Lesson # 3-- Image v Text

This is one thing that I really had to remember when first starting. Facebook Ads must contain less than 20 % text, it is Facebook's way of making sure your ads actually are not being too obtrusive and annoying, so you have to make sure that you have a nice image in your ad and your font isn't too large.

One thing that I have the tendency to use is the grid tool. It is provided by Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/ads/tools/text_overlay. And it will give you an indication of how much text you are relying on in the ad.

So be sure to keep this in mind and your ads will have more effectiveness, and less automatic denial by Facebook.

Ideally these few tips and pieces of advice will help you to save some effort, time, and even some money when it comes to Facebook ads and your Internet Marketing initiatives in Launceston.
