It’s not just about page likes anymore!
There are now ten different Facebook
advertising objectives.

Website
traffic

4. You can target people based on almost
anything, from what TV shows they like, to
where they are going on holiday!

5. The real crown jewel of all Facebook ad
targeting is Custom Audiences.

6. “Custom Audiences let you reach customers
you already know with ads on Facebook.
You can upload a list of email addresses or
phone numbers of at least 20 people and we'll
deliver your ad to those people if they're on
Facebook. You can also build audiences from
the people that visit your website or
from people who use your mobile app.”
