Social as an omni-channel optimizer
Display
• Display vs. Paid Placements duplication can be avoided by audience segmentation. WCA, and TWA are social retargeting options directly via paid
placements.
• Prospecting audiences on Facebook will build a pool for Display Retargeting across the web.
Paid Search
• IDA campaigns use Search behavior to create audiences on Facebook. Keyword targeting on Twitter.
• Quality score to Search is Relevancy score to FB is Quality Adjusted bid on Twitter.
• Similar ad types. PLA’s, Click to Call, Lead Generation, etc.
Email
• Utilize CRM list by open, click, and conversion rate and target appropriately.
• Build out email list with Facebook via Lead Ads.
PR
• Paid Social has a natural synergy with Public Relations. It is increasingly difficult to get organic placements on Social channels, as such it is more
important that each paid post be consistent with PR standards.
• Certain posting options are only available with a paid component.
SEO
• Social linking will increase organic page rank.
• Social Media Profiles rank in organic listings.
• Some Social Networks are Search Engines in and of themselves.

The Auction
When setting up a Facebook
campaign, choose between
Auction and Reach and Frequency
campaign type.
Auction is modeled after a search
auction, with the choice of a CPM
or CPC blind auction. Similar to
search the bid, and ad quality have
a large influence on auction price.
Reach and Frequency campaigns
allow for a fixed price, no auction,
similar to a classic media purchase.

Relevancy Score
Facebook has always used relevance as a factor in
determining ad delivery and price, more recently, in 2015,
Facebook began allowing this metric to be reported on, both
natively and via API. Relevancy score is fluid and will change
based on engagement over time.
What Factors determine Relevancy Score?
• Positive and Negative Feedback
• Hide or reporting an ad as negative
• Ad Creative vs. Ad Objective
• Audience Expected Engagement
11. #SMX #14B @TSiegel21
Relevancy and Quality Score Best Practices
§ Use Specific Targeting, make ads as relevant as
possible to each target group.
§ Ad Image and Message should be consistent with
targeting audience.
§ Refresh the ad copy or creative, over time
relevancy scores tend to decrease as ad
exhaustion sets in.
§ Avoid misleading copy/clickbait. On Facebook
this will cost you more for less quality
engagement.
Relevancy Score- Social Quality Score- Search
§ Group keywords by match type
(thus targeting as specific as
possible)
§ Relevant Ad Text (consistent with
targeting)
§ Mixed opinions on ad copy
refresh effect on QS
§ Clickbait is bad across the board!
Major difference is Quality score is at the account, campaign, ad and keyword level where Relevancy score is only ad the ad level.

Google Customer Match vs. Facebook Custom
Audience vs. Twitter Tailored Audiences
§ Remarketing Lists based on CRM data.
§ Google requires a minimum of 1k emails,
Facebook has a minimum of 20.
§ Lists can be shared across accounts in both
Google and Facebook.
§ Similar audiences in Google are available on
YouTube and Gmail, Facebook will build lookalike
audiences off of any audience.
§ Google, Twitter, Facebook and Pinterest all offer
a Website retargeting in addition to the CRM
level Targets.

Audience Insights & Google Analytics.
Example: High end fashion retailer found that 7% of their
fans were Military and 5% were Veterans. The brand
launched a Military Appreciation landing page with a
special offer to this audience.
Example: Audience breakout by location sheds light on
City’s where brand fans are, this can help brick and
mortar and other digital efforts.

Reporting
§ Reporting can be broken down by demographic,
device, placement, time of day, and my personal
favorite, Impression Device.
§ Using Audience insight data + a broken down
performance report can give insight into
optimization opportunities across campaigns.
– Example: If Mobile is where all the impressions are going,
and according to audience insight only 50% of your
audience is on mobile, it may be time to break out
campaign by device type, and weigh desktop
appropriately.
– These learnings can be sent quickly to the Search team for
similar optimization. Mobile vs. Desktop behavior is
universal.
