What Is Facebook
Marketing?

Facebook Marketplace
Facebook Groups
Facebook marketing is a catch-all term for the different
ways you can market your business on Facebook. It
includes:
BENEFITS OF FACEBOOK
MARKETING
Precise targeting
Increased website traffic
Variety of ad formats
Customer support
Positive impact on SEO
Precise targeting.
You already know that Facebook allows users to deeply segment
their audience but let’s take a closer look at the options available.
Within demographic targeting, you can select an audience with a
particular income, education level, life events, relationship status,
or job. You can look for customers, taking into account their
interests, such as their preferred entertainment, sports, hobbies,
and shopping habits. Also, you can reach clients based on purchase
behaviors, intent, device usage, etc.
Increased website traffic.
With this platform, you can drive your audience directly to your
website. Moreover, these people will be higher quality leads than
users who land on your site organically because they already know
your company. Hence, you have more credibility in their minds.
Encourage your followers to visit your site to find out more about
your products. Besides, when linking to a site, Facebook generates a
full-size image if your site page has one. So, it will attract many
users’ attention and help you boost website traffic.
Variety of ad formats.
Facebook provides businesses with excellent opportunities that
allow them to showcase their products from the best angles. Ads on
this platform include both text and visual formats. You can boost
your post by turning it into an ad, produce stories to show your
behind-the-scenes, make a slideshow of your new collection, use
carousel ads to demonstrate up to 10 products linking to the
corresponding pages, etc.
Customer support.


A lot of people prefer to connect with a brand via social media.
Phone calls have become a thing of the past. Create a chatbot for
Facebook Messenger to communicate with users based on their
popular queries — keywords. They can include “price,” “delivery,”
“payment options,” “purchase,” “book,” etc. You only need to
develop a scenario based on users’ FAQs and write the answers.
Your chatbot will imitate the real conversation. As a result, your
support team will have time for more complicated issues and you
can automate routine tasks.
Positive impact on SEO.
Some marketers claim that social media influences search rankings.
It’s believed that robots take into account your data in the About
section while ranking. Moreover, your social media engagement
contributes a lot. Shares, likes, and comments tell Google that
people are interested in your brand and engage with it. Although
there is no exact proof, it isn’t superfluous either.
Video ad
Image ads
Carousel ads
Collection ad
Slideshow ads
Lead generation ads
Formats of Facebook Marketing
Video ad


It is an excellent way to demonstrate the features
of your product in action. Facebook allows using
different types of video to meet specific goals:
short videos and GIFs to quickly capture attention
on a go, or In-Stream videos for a longer TV-like
watching.
Image ads


In case your budget is too tight to make a video,
image ad is a good idea for creating a high-quality
ad fast and easy. This format will help you raise
brand awareness and drive people to your
website.
Carousel ads


This format allows showcasing up to ten images or
videos inside a single advertisement — each with a
link to a specific product page. It provides a vast
field for creativity and interactivity since you can
feature one product in detail, or a few different
products, or tell a story, separated by those
carousel cards.
Collection ad


It is like a small catalog of your products right in a
post on the Facebook feed. A Collection ad
consists of one original video or image and four
smaller pictures below in the form of a grid.
Slideshow ads


It is a video-like format that displays well even if
the speed of the internet connection is low. You
can create such an ad using a variety of stock
images, some handy tools for video editing, and
even music.
Lead generation ads


This format was developed to assist in generating
leads, especially regarding mobile users. When a user
taps on the image in such an advertisement, a
subscription form shows up right in the ad, making a
few taps enough to opt-in to your newsletters.

generating leads;
nurturing and qualifying your leads;
driving traffic to a website;
increasing conversions and sales;
improving customer support;
raising brand awareness;
boosting customer engagement;
recruitment.
Step 1. Set your goals
It all starts with goal establishment. Regardless of your business type, the general goals are the
same for each company. Facebook offers opportunities to reach the following goals:
Your goal predetermines the techniques, posts, and ad formats that you will use to achieve it.
You can break down your goal into small intermediate objectives. Thus, achieving each of them
will make you closer to reaching your big goal. Lastly, create a list of KPIs, that you will use to
measure the effectiveness of each technique.
Is your product for men or women?
How old are your customers?
What are their most common jobs?
What problem do they have in common?
Why should they use your product?
What outcomes do they want to achieve with it?
Step 2. Define your target audience
Analyzing your target audience is a high priority task since it will predetermine the techniques,
ad formats, and your tone of voice. Firstly, we recommend that you answer the following
questions:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
To collect and store all of the data about your target audience, and make the entire process
more effective, create a customer profile. It should include their location, age, gender, job
position, and income level information. Read our blog post to find out how to create a customer
profile.
all the channels you use;
the types of content you use;
the date and time of publishing;
the topic of your post;
URL;
the image link;
the status of the post.
Step 3. Choose content formats and schedule posts
Now that you’ve defined your audience and established your goals, it’s time to think over a content
strategy that will help you achieve them. A content marketing strategy means that you should create a
step-by-step plan which includes types and formats of content that you will produce.
Remember that the more content you create, the higher your conversions will be. Using a diversity of
formats, consistent publishing, and communicating with customers will skyrocket your user
engagement level.
So, to create an effective content marketing calendar, include the following information:
Step 4. Boost your post with Facebook Ads
Facebook is an excellent advertising platform. It allows brands to reach wide audiences,
provides a variety of targeting options, tools for successful outreach, and relatively cheap
pricing. It is based on a bidding strategy. You choose the timing, ad placement, and target
audience.
To start creating your ad, go to the “Ad Center” and click “Create Ad.”
Step 5. Make use of Facebook tools
Facebook provides much more value than you may expect. There’s plenty of useful tools that can
make your work with this channel more effective and lucrative. Check out a list of several of the tools
below.
Facebook Messenger
It is an app created to stay close with your customers via text messages, video, and voice
communications. With this app, you can keep your audience engaged, provide them with personalized
experiences, and deliver support.
Click-to-Messenger Ads
With this type of ad, you can not only increase your CTR and conversions but let customers interact
with your brand via Facebook Messenger. Click-to-Messenger ads mean that you drive users to
Messenger instead of a landing page.
Step 5. Make use of Facebook tools
Pages to Watch
With this tool, you can analyze your competitors’ performance and their follower engagement. You
can monitor total page likes, publication frequency, and growth rates. This information will motivate
you to improve and develop. You can analyze the strategy of your competitors and understand what
they are doing better.
Invite Engaged Users
Some people may check out your posts from time to time, like, or share them without being your fan.
You can manually invite them to follow your brand. This way, you’ll be able to communicate with
engaged users and turn them into leads with a well-designed strategy.
Step 6. Measure your effectiveness
Your strategy won’t work on its own. Its efficiency primarily depends on how well your
audience interacts with your brand. Monitoring their engagement will help you have a
clear picture of the techniques that work best for you, and those which scare away your
followers.
Luckily, you don’t need any third-party services to track your effectiveness since
Facebook offers its own tool called Insights. You’ll get to know which formats work best
and if your content mix was created correctly. You can check out page views, post
engagement, story reach, actions on page, analyze your followers, and much more
valuable data.
Thank You
