Digital SEO Marketing Perth - Facebook Ads Lessons to increase your Influence


Digital SEO Marketing Perth is not as simple as establishing a website there are of lots of different Digital SEO Marketing concepts to try and understand yourself as a website owner. It is for this reason I intend to share with you a few lessons that I have discovered Facebook Ads. Why Facebook ads? Because Social media is useful to Digital SEO Marketing, and because there are plenty of matters about Facebook Ads that I wished I knew when I first began 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 will need to select a location. So if you are a local Perth Business then you will want to set the location to Perth. It just makes sense, right?

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

So I want to explain to you what that actually means. - 'everyone in this location' means every single person in whose Facebook says that they are in Perth 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 Perth, or even just people visiting.

So depending on your operation, you may wish to be targeting people that are visiting or even on holiday in Perth. 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 investment.

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 benefit your business.

Lesson # 2 - Image v Text

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

Something 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 just how much text you are using in the ad.

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

Lesson # 3 - 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, many Facebook users are young, and younger customers basically 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 rely on your audience, but even if you are aiming 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 produce 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 try out the quantity of ads you want aimed completely to 'mobile.

I hope these few thoughts 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 Perth.
