What to do when your Facebook ads aren’t working?

Are your Facebook ads not converting?

Maybe your audience is just not ready for your message…

Or they are busy and not checking their phones…

Or you might not have a good ad…

It’s hard to predict what your audience will respond to. You can make a very educated guess but until you put your ad out there, you won’t know if it works or not.

What do you do if you ad isn’t working?

  1. Restart. Try a new ad with a different angle for the same audience. Sometime the audience is ready but the ad isn’t quite right.
  2. Restructure your audience. It could be that the audience you are targeting is not a fit for what you are selling  even free training/ ebooks are products and you are selling people on taking their time to watch/ read your stuff) Change your audience and see if a different one is more responsive to your offer.

Tip: When you make these changes- duplicate the adset/ad so that you can have data you can use to compare.

I just did that with a client of mine. We thought we knew what to offer but when we tested 3 different ones we actually got really clear on what her audience really wanted. It pays to test!

You won’t know what will work until you put it out there. Put your stuff out there then look at the data and be willing to change what you need to.

How To Build A Bad Facebook Ad

Want to build the worst Facebook ad ever?

Here is exactly what to do:

1. Decide you are going to write an ad right this second because that’s what everyone else is doing 😛

2. Open up your ads manager and take a guess what type of campaign to run. Reach? Sure! Why not!

3. Select an audience using some guesswork: Male and Female, 25-55, worldwide, interested in ‘coaching’. DONE! 1,753321 is a great audience size, right?

4. Daily budget? $50

5. How long should you run that ad? FOREVER!

6. Image time: grab the first stock photo you see with people sitting around a computer.

You see where this i going, right? This ad is going to fail. Badly.

Why? 

Because it was rushed and there was no plan. Take the time to think through your campaign type, audience, photos, and of course text.

Do that and you are already ahead of most of the people running Facebook ads for their business right now.

Zuckerberg gets rich(er) every time you do this 😱

First off, I just need to get this off my chest. I share this with my newsletter peeps every few months but every.single.time I see an ad in the feed and then click over to the website and don’t see the Facebook pixel installed….I’m LIKE WHY, WHY? Why are you just handing over your hard-earned dollars to Zuckerberg like that? THERE ARE MORE FUN WAYS TO LOSE MONEY. Not to mention, less frustrating. Because who wants to pay $$ to get little to no results?

I even posted it on my Facebook profile.

 

Facebook pixel setup

Because I can’t stand the missed opportunity. When you have the pixel installed and then run ads…magic happens. You get to show up to people who ALREADY have visited your website but may have gotten distracted by other shiny objects before completing their signup/transaction/purchase.

Still with me?

Here is an example of a client retargeting ad campaign that I started a few days ago and the Facebook pixel had only been installed for 5 days when we got these results.

Facebook Ads For Events

Yes, that was 1.67 spent to generate 360 in sales. Do the math. That is a pretty EPIC return.

I’m not sharing this to pat myself on the back but rather to show you what is possible.

Now you’re probably thinking, HOW CAN I GET IN ON THIS ACTION? I’ve tried Facebook ads and they don’t work/are hard/always changing.

Start by installing the Facebook pixel. Not sure how? Watch this free training and get setup in minutes.

Once you’ve setup and installed the pixel, you can then setup Custom Audiences which you will use in retargeting ads.

Whether you are running ads in the next month or a few months from now, installing the Facebook pixel is key to lowering your ad costs and staying top of mind with potential customers.

Facebook Custom Website Audience

How To Setup A Facebook Custom Website Audience

In this video, I’m going to walk you through setting up a custom audience of website visitors.

Why is this valuable?

Re-target website visitors on Facebook
Stay top of mind
Market to a warm audience

To create a custom audience, you will need to setup the Facebook pixel on your website.

This small (but mighty) piece of code helps you target people who have already visited your website while on Facebook.  This lets you target people who are already familiar with your business and also track the success of your ads.
Consequently, you can
  • lower your cost per lead
  • bring in more leas
  • and increase the quality of those leads
