Digital SEO Marketing Maitland - Facebook Ads Lessons to raise your Influence


Digital SEOMarketing Maitland is not as simple as building a website there are of so many different Digital SEO Marketing concepts to try and understand yourself as a website owner. It is for this reason I choose to show to you a few lessons that I have discovered Facebook Ads. Why Facebook ads? Because Social media is very important to Digital SEO Marketing, and because there are plenty of facts about Facebook Ads that I wished I knew when I first started off 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 have to select a location. So if you are a local Maitland Business then you will want to set the location to Maitland. It just makes sense, right?

But what lots of folks overlook is that they choose by default the option for "Everyone in this Location".

So I desire to point out to you what that actually means.-- 'everyone in this location' means every single person in whose Facebook says that they are in Maitland 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 live in Maitland, and even just people visiting.

So depending on your small business, you may wish to be targeting people that are visiting or even on holiday in Maitland. By selecting the option for this you can make sure you are connecting 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 picking 'everyone in this location' then you are by default wasting a few of your ad's reach on people that are just visiting.

So always remember this option exists, and have a think about what options are likely to help 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 most of us are probably aware, many of Facebook users are young, and younger audiences basically only use mobile devices. Recent figures from Facebook indicate that almost 50 % of users under the age of 35 only use a mobile device to access Facebook.

Now, it really does depend upon your audience, but regardless of whether you are aiming at an older demographic, most will still have mobile devices capable of using Facebook, so don't overlook this possibility.

What this means is just because you may be on a laptop when you develop 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 see to it you look to make sure the ad works for mobile in the preview, and you experiment with the amount of ads you want aimed completely to 'mobile.

Lesson # 3-- Image v Text.

This is the main thing that I really had to remember when first starting. Facebook Ads must contain no more than 20 % text, it is Facebook's way of making sure your ads actually are not being too obtrusive and annoying, so you should ensure that you have a nice image in your ad and your font isn't too large.

One thing that I often 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 working with in the ad.

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

I hope these few ideas and pieces of advice will help you to save some effort, time, and even a bit of money when it comes to Facebook ads and your Internet Marketing efforts in Maitland.
