This article will offer tips specific to running Meta Ads on Facebook or Instagram.
Many small businesses invest in paid social without a clear strategy or structure. The good news? You can start seeing improvement with just a few focused changes.
Start by optimizing your creatives. Strong visuals are everything in social advertising. Ask yourself: is the creative scroll-stopping, on-brand, and relevant to your audience? If not, test different formats like carousels, short-form videos, or simple, bold static images to see what gets the most traction.
Messaging goes hand-in-hand with the creatives. Make sure your copy is clear, concise, and tailored to user intent. Strong headlines and direct calls-to-action (CTA's) can significantly boost engagement. Align your message with what your audience wants to see, not just what you want to say.
Next, refine your targeting. Revisit your audience settings and make sure you're reaching people who are most likely to take action. Narrowing your audience or experimenting with custom and lookalike segments can often lead to stronger performance without increasing your spend.
Don’t forget the post-click experience. If someone lands on your website or form, what happens next? Make sure your landing page is focused on one specific goal, whether it’s signing up, making a purchase, or downloading something valuable. And also aim for a mobile-friendly and quick-loading experience too!
Finally, review your tracking setup. Use the Meta Pixel to capture meaningful actions like purchases, form submissions, or key page views. If you’re measuring what matters, you will know what’s working.
When it comes to social ads on Meta, these small adjustments can go a long way.
