Facebook has become one of the most important platforms for digital marketing, and its advertising potential is hard to ignore. With more than 2.8 billion monthly active users still to this day, Facebook has the power to reach a vast and diverse audience, making it an ideal platform for businesses to advertise their products and services.
 
One of the most critical aspects of advertising on Facebook is writing effective ad copy. A well-crafted Facebook ad copy can entice potential customers, increase click-through rates, and generate more leads and conversions. But writing great ad copy isn't easy; it requires a thorough understanding of your target audience, a strong brand voice, and an excellent copywriting technique. Here are some tips to help you write better Facebook ad copy:

​Before writing any ad copy, it's crucial to know who you're writing for. Understanding your target audience is vital to crafting copy that resonates with them. To do this, consider their demographics, psychographics, interests, and pain points. Use Facebook's audience insights tool to gain valuable information about your target audience, including their age, gender, location, education, interests, and more.

​Your ad copy should always focus on the benefits of your product or service, rather than its features. Customers are more interested in how your product or service can solve their problems, meet their needs, and make their lives better. Highlight how your product or service can make their lives easier, save them money, or help them achieve their goals.

​Your Facebook ad copy should use persuasive language to encourage people to take action. Use words and phrases that create a sense of urgency or scarcity, such as "limited time offer," "don't miss out," or "while supplies last." Also, use emotional triggers that appeal to your target audience's desires and motivations, such as "feel confident," "enjoy more time," or "discover new possibilities."

​Facebook ads have limited space, so it's essential to keep your ad copy concise and to the point. Make sure your ad copy is easy to read and understand, with short sentences and paragraphs. Use bullet points or numbered lists to break up the text and make it more scannable. Also, make sure your ad copy is free of errors and typos.

​Social proof is a powerful tool that can help build trust and credibility with your target audience. Use customer reviews, testimonials, or ratings to show that other people have had a positive experience with your product or service. This can help convince potential customers to try your product or service.

​Your Facebook ad copy should always include a clear call-to-action (CTA) that tells your target audience what action you want them to take. Whether it's to buy your product, download your app, or sign up for your newsletter, make sure your CTA is clear and specific. Use action-oriented language, such as "buy now," "download for free," or "get started today."

​Finally, always test and refine your Facebook ad copy to see what works and what doesn't. A/B test different versions of your ad copy to see which one performs better. Experiment with different headlines, ad copy, images, and CTAs. Analyze your ad metrics, such as click-through rate, conversion rate, and cost per click, to see what changes have the most significant impact.

​In conclusion, writing effective Facebook ad copy requires a deep understanding of your target audience, a persuasive writing style, and a clear call-to-action. By following these tips and continually testing and refining your ad copy, you can create ads that capture your market's attention, and persuade them to take action!

Stop Spending Money On Wasted Clicks, and Utilize The Areas That Convert…

If you are using Google Analytics and are running Facebook Ads, you are going to want to pay attention to this blog.  If you are targeting a specific country like the United States their are areas in which are not converting like they should.  

After you read this blog you will no longer be wasting any more money on clicks that are not getting you conversions.  

Location Targeting

Before you do this, you’re going to want to have some conversion goals set up first.  Click here to learn how to create conversion goals in Google Analytics.  

-  Log in your Google Analytics, and click on Geo - Location.  

-  Click on United States, (or your specific country).
-  Then sort the conversions from most to least.

Now that you have a clear picture on which specific states are converting, and which specific cities are providing you the conversions you want.  You can now run campaigns only targeting those areas and increase your ROI.  

California, and New York are my top converting states this year.  I can run separate ads sets to these states and maximize my ROI by targeting specific the cities in these areas that are converting the highest!  

I can target the other states with lower budgets.  

Starting to make sense?  

Maximize your ROI by investing heavily into the locations that are producing you the highest Return.  

I made a short video for you to show you exactly how I applied this. 

Device Targeting
 
If you are targeting users from Facebook Ads, it may be important to know which devices are converting your leads into customers.  

In Google Analytics click where it says  Technology - Browser & OS

In the image above, I have a view of which browsers are giving me the most conversions.  

One other thing is, I can review browsers or even devices that are giving me High Bounce Rates.  
This is HUGE!!!   This tells you how mobile friendly your website really is...

It's true.  We've been acquiring leads for some of our clients at cheap at $1.  It use to be more expensive before but I guess because of the IOS changes Facebook has been working on optimizing their platform better to support lead forms.  

I think it is a good opportunity to focus on your creative lead form ad and also leverage the platform.  

Just keep in mind because they are signing up on the form you need to have a solid backend system in place and don't let your hard earned spent money on leads fall through the cracks.  

I created a quick video that shows you how to create a zap so that when leads sign up you can input them into a system to send the lead automated email and text reminders.

1.  Lets Start With Targeting...

Who you are targeting is important because it has to be relevant to the audience in general.  In the example below we are targeting BMW Owners through Facebook's Behavior Targeting Feature, of men who are over 40.
This targeting helped us figure out that men who are over 40 generally are our ideal customers who have a deeper passion about taking care of their car.

3.  Your Landing Page Copy

In the example below notice how the landing page headline matches exactly the Facebook Ad headline.

For the description I took out a minor part of the landing page copy and post it in the Ad Description box.  
Landing Page Image
The image is by far one of the most important things on the page next to the headline.  The image matches the Facebook Ad image and also shows the user exactly what they are going to be reading about.  

Landing Page Headline 
The headline is exactly the benefit to the user who reads.  In our case the "7 things they need to know about their BMW" is our headline.  

Bullet Points
The bullet points goes straight into the 7 things one by one.  Each one being very specific to needs of the user.  Educating them in the things they need to know, and how to take care of their car.

Call To Action  
The user who lands on our page can get some useful information about how to take better car of their BMW.  One of the last few things we talk about in the landing page is insurance.  Therefore our Call To Action message is for them to download our Free Auto Insurance Checklist that we are willing to giveaway in exchange for an email.  

As long as your Lead Magnet or hook offer is relevant to the posts they are reading you are going to see an increase in conversions.  

Download Our Landing Page Checklist and increase your conversions.

Something to Consider
I was on the phone with Sarah, she is our Facebook Ad's Rep in Austin.   She told us that Facebook rewards Ads that are more content and information relevant.  I have seen this in our ad results.  the Cost Per Website Clicks are relatively so lower than any other ad we have written.

People love to get useful relevant information!  This builds your brand, and gives you authority.  
Isn't it better to build trust, then later on sale your products or services only to those who are interested?
