Facebook Advertising explained in 2 minutes:
Our digital growth guide to scaling your business fast.
We start by developing your Customer Personas (know who to target), assessing your demographic and interest based targeting options (know how to reach them), then designing & writing high converting Facebook Ads in a variety of formats.
Your campaigns are built using best practice approach and aligned to your sales funnel. From REACH campaigns, to LEAD campaigns to SALES campaign. We then roll out a testing period to iterate through creative ideas and targeting approaches.
Once we’ve got a campaign driving positive ROI (return on investment), we switch gear to optimising early winners with continual refinement. As we improve, we safely and systematically scale up spend to drive more revenue.

Set goals for your business growth
We start by understanding your business objectives and setting relevant goals and KPIs for your business. Before we begin, you’ll know how many leads and conversions we are going after, and the target Cost per Lead or Acquisition we’re aiming to deliver to.
Zero in on the right target audience
What separates amatuer advertisers to the pros is often simply the research and planning phase. Here we create your Customer Avatar so that we agree who we are targeting.
Steal strategies already working
We then build your Market Map to give us an idea of what’s already working in your market. It’s far less risky to start by improving what’s already in play in the market, than throwing stuff against the wall and seeing what works. Like everything we do, we’re looking for the fastest, easiest way to build your business.
Campaign aligned to your funnel
You Facebook campaign will be aligned to your sales funnel needs. We’ll do the math using our Growth Planning model to identify which area is most profitable to spend resources on: REACH, LEADS, SALES. We will develop awareness campaigns to generate reach, and remarketing campaigns to maximise Leads and Sales.
Campaigns built using best practices
Drawing on industry best practices, we will create your campaign structure, targeting and creatives. A copywriter will be assigned to work on the messaging, our design team will deliver the images, and your Facebook Ads manager will setup the campaign in the Facebook Ads platform. We also ensure tracking is in place using the Facebook Pixel to track conversions on-site or landing pages, and build customer audiences for remarketing.
Test to find winning approaches
Once you’ve given the green light on the first round of creatives, we will begin split testing Ads and targeting approaches. It’s dependent on budget, however we will generally test 4-5 targeting approaches, with 3-4 Ad creative variations within each Ad Set. The test period is looking to get rapid feedback from the market as to which creative and targeting approach is most effective.
Track the results of tests to learn
Our goal is to learn fast. Each test tells us of a better way to reach our objectives and improve results over time. Your Facebook Ad Manager will keep a depository of tests and results so that we are all learning together.
Weekly and monthly reporting
You get 100% transparency over delivery and results with a weekly check-in on performance, and monthly in-depth reports.
Continual improvement on campaigns
We are committed to continually improving our clients’ campaigns. We conduct daily checks on all campaigns. Weekly targeting optimisations, budget optimisations and creative optimisations. Monthly we are rolling out new ads and testing their performance. Over time we are working hard to improve your performance.
Grow your results safely
Some clients want to grow quickly. Once we prove positive ROI on a campaign, we can then scale up the results (budget permitting). This phase comes with its own set of challenges, which we employ best practices to overcome.
Facebook can be a minefield for amateur advertisers. Maybe you've already tried your luck? Without regular training and staying abreast of constant changes, advertising on Facebook can quickly drain your budget, with little to show for it.
Facebook requires both expertise and constant attention to get the best results. Ad’s can perform well one month then dramatically drop in performance the next. So why not hand over the reigns so that our experts can squeeze every last conversion out of your budget?
We’ll design you an effective Facebook Advertising campaign which can be applied across your entire funnel:

A. We can manage your comments in which case we’d let you know if there was a specific comment that is best if you address directly.
Q. What are Facebook’s most effective advertising tools?
A. While there are many effective Ad tools in Facebook's arsenal, Facebook Custom Audiences are definitely one to test. This feature allows you to upload a list of your own customers to target (there are other options also). You can then create lookalike audiences based on this list. You can choose the size of a Lookalike Audience during the creation process. Smaller audiences more closely match your source audience.
Q. How long does it take to setup and implement a Facebook advertising campaign?
A. Believe it or not, the success of your Facebook advertising campaign can most easily be won or lost in the planning phase. It’s what separates the PROS from the amateurs. We spend the time necessary to build your Customer Personas, Market Map and Empathy Map to ensure we are talking to the right people, targeting the right people, and saying the right things to them. Then we build your campaigns and creatives. We allocate 2-4 weeks for the setup, depending on the complexity of the strategy.
Q. What is a typical Ad spend I will need to start seeing results?
A. You need a minimum of $5 per day per AdSet so based on this we can recommend what your starting budget should be.
Q. Can I target people who like my competitor on Facebook?
A. No you can’t target people who like your competitor but you can target people that likes a particular brand if they cross over with your target market. Also if a competitor's page show up as a targeted interested you can also target it as described on Facebook here.
Q. Does Facebook bill me directly for my Ad spend?
A. Correct, you’ll need to add your credit card to facebook before we can start your campaign.
