Get Leads From Your Facebook Ads By Following These Simple Steps

Justin Babcock • September 15, 2022

Facebook Ads are a combination of budget, audience, and content. When creating your ad, you need to decide how much money you want to spend on it and who you want to reach. Most importantly, the ad better have content that converts.


Here's what you need to consider.


Facebook Ads require a budget.


You can't just create a Facebook Ad and hope it works. You need to have a budget in mind before you get started.


If you're doing the ad yourself, you'll want to start small and scale up as needed. We suggest starting with just a dollar a day. That way, you will become familiar with the platform, get used to reading the analytics, and learn what to do without breaking the bank. Every week add new Facebook at $1 per day. Once you reach 5 ads, start turning off the lease-performing ad and post your new ad. The best ads will naturally rise to the top.



A good Facebook ad targets the right people.


The best way to target your audience is by using interest-based targeting. For example, if you're selling new homes in Atlanta, Georgia, target people who like real estate or home improvement sites or blogs. The more specific your targeting is, the better results you'll get from your Facebook Ads campaign.


You also want to target by location. Again, if you are selling a new home in Georgia, you might not want to spend your ad budget in Colorado.




Great content turns a Facebook ad into a lead generation machine.


If people see an ad that looks interesting or useful enough to share with their friends or family members, it will increase engagement with your brand. This is where great copywriting comes in handy — if it sounds useful and you have a great call-to-action, you can start to drive people to your product and service. Images & videos that look and feel like your audience's needs and wants also help convert those Facebook users into leads and sales.
