Digital SEO Marketing Australia is not
as simple as setting up a website there are of several different Digital SEO
Marketing concepts to try and understand yourself as a website owner. It is
because of this I wish to show to you a few lessons that I have learnt about
Facebook Ads. Why Facebook ads? Because Social media is essential to Digital
SEO Marketing, and because there are plenty of factors about Facebook Ads that
I wished I knew when I first began investing with them.
Lesson # 1 - Location, Location, location - Don't waste your money
If you have made a Facebook ad before you
would know that you need to select a location. So if you are a local Australia
Business then you will want to set the location to Australia. It just makes
good sense, right?
But what some people overlook is that they
choose by default the option for "Everyone in this Location".
So I wish to reveal to you what that
actually means.-- 'everyone in this location' means each person in whose
Facebook says that they are actually in Australia will be possibly targeted by
your ad. This is pretty specific, but still broad enough to where you may be
wasting money.
People often don't realise, but that
'everyone' button is actually a drop down option, and from there you can chose
whether you want people who reside in Australia, or even just people visiting.
So depending on your local business, you
may want to be targeting people that are visiting or even on holiday in Australia.
By selecting the option for this you can make sure you are reaching the
specific people that will hopefully be engaging with your business, and
therefore get a better engagement rate on your investment.
But what it also means that if you just
keep choosing 'everyone in this location' then you are by default wasting a
number of your ad's reach on people that are just visiting.
So always remember this option exists, and
have a think about what options are likely to benefit your business.
Lesson # 2 - Image v Text
This is the main thing that I really needed
to remember when first starting off. Facebook Ads must contain less than 20 %
text, it is Facebook's way of making sure your ads actually are not being too
obtrusive and annoying, so you will need to make certain that you have a nice
image in your ad and your font isn't too large.
One thing that I generally use is the grid
tool. It is provided by Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/ads/tools/text_overlay.
And it will give you an indication of just how much text you are working with
in the ad.
So be sure to keep this in mind and your
ads will have more success, and less automatic rejection by Facebook.
Lesson # 3 - Mobile platforms are key
When selecting your platform, don't fall
into the trap of selecting just the desktop version. As we all are probably
aware, the majority of Facebook users are young, and younger clients basically
only use mobile devices. Recent figures from Facebook indicate that almost 50 %
of users under the age of 35 only use a mobile device to access Facebook.
Now, it really does rely on your audience,
but regardless of whether you are aiming at an older demographic, most will
still have mobile devices capable of using Facebook, so don't overlook this
possibility.
What this means is just because you may be
on a laptop when you make and edit an ad, don't fall into the trap of assuming
that people will be seeing your ad on a desktop too. This means make sure you
look to make sure the ad works for mobile in the preview, and you explore the
amount of ads you want aimed completely to 'mobile.
Perhaps these few suggestions and pieces of
advice will help you to save some effort, time, and even some money when it
comes to Facebook ads and your Internet Marketing efforts in Australia.
