Facebook Page Likes

If you’re looking to increase the number of followers you have on Facebook, this is the ad for you. It’s important to have a strong Facebook following because it helps build community and can also help you determine who’s interested in your business. Facebook insights allow you to see the demographics of your Facebook followers, and with more followers you can get a better understanding of who your audience is. Facebook page likes ads can include a photo along with a headline and description. Learn more about page likes and how to get started here.

Website Clicks Ads

Are you looking to drive people to your website or a specific landing page? This can be easily achieved with website clicks ads. Using either a photo or a video accompanied by headline and text, take a viewer to a page on your website or have them learn about your business using a website clicks ad.

Lead Generation Ads

Facebook recently introduced lead generation ads, making it simpler to obtaining customer information using forms on mobile devices. Lead generation ads automatically populate the potential contact information of the user with the information that they have already provided to Facebook. The forms are also highly customizable, and the customer never leaves the Facebook app. Learn more about lead generation ads here.

Local Awareness Ads

If you’re trying to reach potential customers in your community, a local awareness ad is the perfect solution. You start by plugging in your business address, and from there you determine a geographic radius that you want to reach. Customers in that radius will receive your ad, making it ideal for reaching people that live in your neighborhood or visit the area frequently. Learn more about local awareness ads here.
