Digital SEO Marketing Traralgon - Facebook Ads Lessons to improve your Influence


Digital SEOMarketing Traralgon is not as simple as creating a website there are of lots of different Digital SEO Marketing concepts to try and understand yourself as a website owner. It is because of this I plan to show to you a few lessons that I have learnt about Facebook Ads. Why Facebook ads? Because Social media is important to Digital SEO Marketing, and because there are plenty of matters 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 Traralgon Business then you will want to set the location to Traralgon. It just makes sense, right?

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

So I wish to mention to you what that actually means.-- 'everyone in this location' means each person in whose Facebook says that they are in Traralgon will be possibly targeted by your ad. This is pretty specific, but 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 if you want people who reside in Traralgon, and even just people visiting.

So depending on your operation, you may desire to be targeting people that are visiting or even on holiday in Traralgon. 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 choosing 'everyone in this location' then you are by default wasting a number of your ad's reach on people that are just visiting.

So remember this option exists, and have a think about what options are likely to benefit your business.

Lesson # 2 - Image v Text

This is the main thing that I really had to remember when first starting off. 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 make certain that you have a nice image in your ad and your font isn't too large.

Something that I tend 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 using in the ad.

So be confident to keep this in mind and your ads will have more results, and less automatic rejection 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 target audiences virtually 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 upon your audience, but even though you are focusing on 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 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 experiment with the quantity of ads you want aimed solely to 'mobile.

I hope these few tactics 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 initiatives in Traralgon.
