Digital SEO Marketing Sydney - Facebook Ads Lessons to increase your Impact



Digital SEO Marketing Sydney is not as simple as creating a website there are of many different Digital SEO Marketing concepts to try and understand yourself as a website owner. It is for this reason I wish to show to you a few lessons that I have learnt about Facebook Ads. Why Facebook ads? Because Social media is critical to Digital SEO Marketing, and because there are so many matters about Facebook Ads that I wished I knew when I initially started investing with them.

Lesson # 1 - 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, many Facebook users are young, and younger markets basically only use mobile devices. Recent figures from Facebook show that almost 50 % of users under the age of 35 only use a mobile device to access Facebook.

Now, it really does depend upon your audience, but even though 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 produce 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 ensure that you look to make sure the ad works for mobile in the preview, and you explore the quantity of ads you want aimed totally to 'mobile.

Lesson # 2 - Image v Text

This is something that I really needed to remember when first starting. Facebook Ads must contain below 20 % text, it is Facebook's way of making sure your ads actually are not being too obtrusive and annoying, so you should ensure that 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 using in the ad.

So be confident to keep this in mind and your ads will have more results, and less automatic rejection by Facebook.

Lesson # 3 - 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 Sydney Business then you will want to set the location to Sydney. It just makes sense, right?

But what lots of folks overlook is that they choose by default the option for "Everyone in this Location".

So I wish to explain to you what that actually means. - 'everyone in this location' means every single person in whose Facebook says that they are actually in Sydney will be possibly targeted by your ad. This is pretty specific, and yet 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 if you want people who live in Sydney, or even just people visiting.

So depending on your small business, you may prefer to be targeting people that are visiting or even on holiday in Sydney. 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 effort.

But what it also means that if you just keep picking 'everyone in this location' then you are by default wasting some of your ad's reach on people that are just visiting.

So don't forget this option exists, and have a think about what options are likely to benefit your business.

Ideally these few ideas and pieces of advice will help you to save some effort, time, and even a bit of money when it comes to Facebook ads and your Internet Marketing attempts in Sydney.
