Your Facebook marketing is performing worse than you think
Your Facebook marketing is performing worse than you thinkThe most typical failure is to think that conversions in Ads Manager are conversions from your Facebook advertising. This is not true and here's why.I write about growth and startups. If you want to continue reading, subscribe to the newsletter. In this post, I open the most common failure that people do when it comes to running Facebook ads and how to avoid it. Purchased reported in the Facebook Ads editor are not purchases from your Facebook AdsI talked about conversion tracking in my previous post in more detail. That conversion tracking is the way most people judge the performance of their advertising. It’s taking data from your website and matching it on Facebook in order to tell you how many orders did you get from the ads. A quick look to check incrementalityIf most of your conversions are coming from people who have never visited your website, you have a better chance that your advertising is incremental. You can trust that the conversions that you see on Facebook Ads manager are more likely conversions that happen because of your Facebook marketing. But either way looking just the ratio of conversions coming from retargeting vs. prospecting is just an opening for further analysis. The first failure - No segmentationNot having any segmentation of your audience at all. You have broad targeting with no segmentation for people who have already visited your website. If you split the campaign into retargeting a campaign and prospecting a campaign, you might be shocked to see how many of the reported conversions are coming from the retargeting side. Hopefully seeing this makes you question the incrementality of your campaign. The second failure - Only retargeting and thinking it’s incrementalYou have a little budget or you just want to use the money where it’s most efficient and thus you have only retargeting campaign. It looks like it’s getting a lot of conversions and with a very good-looking cost per acquisition. You are happy with the advertising that you do. How avoid the failures and find out if your advertising is going to waste or not?For this, there is actually a very simple solution in place. What you want to do is to test out how many conversions would you get, even if you shut down a specific campaign of yours. If you liked this post from Jalopinion, why not share it? |
