The Best Facebook Ad Targeting Methods

By Adam Khan


Facebook is an amazing marketing tool. Besides creating a page for your brand, you can have your ads featured on the social platform to reach out to new potential clients. Getting your ads featured on Facebook is an important investment, which is why you need to make sure your audience is properly targeted.



There are different ways to advertise on Facebook. You can create an official page for free, spend money on sponsored posts that will appear in the newsfeeds of targeted users or purchase ads that will appear on the right of the newsfeeds. Decide on the best advertising strategy and ask yourself which page the sponsored posts or ads should take users to. You can for instance use ads to drive more traffic to your website or to lead Facebook users to your official page.

The geographic location feature should be an essential part of your Facebook ad campaign if you own a brick and mortar store. You will be able to reach out to users within a certain range of your store or could design a campaign that will bring customers from nearby cities. If you mostly sell products online, select your audience with another criteria.

The categories you can choose from are based on the information shared by Facebook users. You can choose your target audience based on age, gender, location or their interests. You can also use the advanced features to target users based on the display language they have chosen for Facebook. Take the time to learn more about your audience so you can select the categories that are most likely to correspond to your target audience.

Set a budget for your Facebook ad campaign. You can set a daily limit for your campaign budget. Take the time to define your audience and to select the right groups so your ad will target users who will be interested in your products or services.
