Facebook Ads for Small Businesses: Where to Start

A simple framework for choosing an objective, audience, offer, and measurement plan.

Before choosing an ad format, define the business action you want. A focused campaign begins with a specific audience, a useful offer, and a page that makes the next step easy.

Choose one campaign objective

Do not ask one campaign to build awareness, generate leads, and close sales simultaneously. Choose the most valuable next action for this stage of the customer journey.

Build the message around the customer

Lead with a problem the audience recognizes and a useful outcome they care about. Keep claims realistic and explain what happens after they click.

Review quality as well as cost

A low cost per lead can be misleading if the inquiries are irrelevant. Review lead quality, response rate, and progress toward a sale together.
