Q

How does Facebook optimize for the “Website Purchases” ads?

A

Facebook will optimize your ad by using data to identify audiences who are most likely to buy your product or service. It will help determine the best path to generate a sale based on your website traffic and other factors. If Facebook is unable to determine who is making purchases yet due to a lack of data, it will show your ad to people who have looked at your products or have placed items in their cart. Once there is enough data collected for your business, FB will be able to optimize your ad for purchases.

Q

How are CPM, CTR, and CPC related?

A

Important stats to know to understand the success of your Impressions Ads.

CPM: Cost per thousand ad displays.
CTR: Click Through Rate: what percentage of people saw the ad and actually clicked through per 1000?
CPC: What was the cost then of each of those clicks?

CPM = $X spent per 1000 ad displays
CTR = % of 1000 actually clicked
CPC = CTR (%) x CPM ($X)

Real example:
CPM = $5 ($5 spent to show ad 1000 times)
CTR = 1% (so 10 people clicked out of 1000 times ad was shown)
CPC = (clicks x $5) = $0.50 spent to get 10 clicks total.

Creating a separate Landing Page per Ad will help you assess the success of Traffic Campaign Objectives even post-iOS14 changes. This is why: Each link click (Conversion) on your landing page will be attributable to your Ad, since all traffic came from there because the landing page is unique to the ad and not advertised anywhere else.

Great way to measure Traffic Conversions to a landing page without relying on post-iOS 14 data.

89
Q

What is the aim of the “Engagement Objective”?

A

You want people to interact with your post in the following ways:

  1. engage with your page (Page Likes)
  2. engage with your post (Post Engagement)
  3. respond to your events (Event Responses)
90
Q

How do you measure the success of an Engagement Campaign Objective?

A

measured via:

  • post engagement (Shows the # of people reacting to, commenting on, or sharing the ad)
  • claiming an offer
  • viewing a photo or video
  • clicking on a link
  • page Likes
  • FB event responses
91
Q

What objective should you choose if you want:

Event Responses, Post Engagement, Page Likes ?

A

You should choose the Engagement Campaign Objective which is a Consideration Objective.

92
Q

What are potential benefit differences for Brand Awareness and Reach campaigns?

A

BRAND AWARENESS: campaigns will be shown to people who FB calculates will be most likely to remember your ad after two days (Ad Recall Lift). This could be good if you are trying to establish top of mind before making a pitch.

REACH: campaigns will be shown to as many people as possible in the Target Audience you specify + combined with the frequency you specify. This would be a great way to try to get your ad in front of as many people as possible in either a custom audience of people who already know about you, or people in a specific niche you want to reach (without causing ad fatigue).

93
Q

What two factors help you choose a campaign budget?

A
  1. What result you are trying to achieve.

2. How much it will cost to drive a result.

94
Q

What is the difference between REVENUE and PROFIT?

A

Revenue is the amount of money that comes IN.

Profit is the amount of income OVER the product cost.

So if REVENUE is $100, but the product cost $20 to make, then your PROFIT is $80.

95
Q

How should you use consideration of Revenue and Profit when creating your Advertising Budget?

A

Know how much actual profit you will make from your revenue, and only spend UNDER that amount of Profit.

If you spend more than the amount of PROFIT from your ads, you’ll actually be LOSING money.

if you have $100 in revenue, but only earn $80 in profit. You must spend LESS than $80 to make sure you’re really earning a profit ( and then ad spend still has to come out of this, so it’s not yet your ACTUAL PROFIT until you factor in ad spend).

You can’t spend the entire revenue, because that eats into product cost/overhead.

96
Q

What is your ACTUAL PROFIT?

A

Profit - Ad Spend = Actual Profit.

Ex: $80 - $60 ad spend = $20 profit

So if your target revenue is $100 and your product costs $20 to make, your profit = $80, but if you spend $40 on ads, then your ACTUAL PROFIT is $40.

ACTUAL PROFIT. ACTUAL PROFIT. ACTUAL PROFIT!

97
Q

WHAT IS THE IMPORTANT BOTTOM LINE?

A

ACTUAL PROFIT!

Revenue - overhead - ad spend = Actual profit

$100 - $20 - $40 = $40

98
Q

Rule of Thirds to decide how much to spend on ads to keep your business growing:

A

Maximum Campaign Budget = Revenue / 3

Spend no more than 1/3 of your revenue on your campaign budget.

99
Q

How do you know for sure if your campaign budget is enough for your goal?

A

You need to start with a small test budget and monitor your campaign slowly.

100
Q

How do you figure out a budget for a campaign?

A
  1. Pick revenue goal = $2K
  2. Know how many people out of 100 buy from your website = 1
  3. Know how much each buyer spends on average = $37
  4. $2K / $37 = 54. 54 x 100 = 5400 people that you need to come onto your website to have 54 conversions to = $2K in revenue.
  5. You shouldn’t spend more than 1/3 of your revenue on ads. $667.
  6. How much does that mean you can spend PER PERSON landing on your website? And is that enough to achieve the revenue goals you have?
  7. Create a small test campaign to get an idea of how much clicks cost and how well they convert into results. 8. With this data you can have an idea of how much you need to spend to achieve your revenue results.
101
Q

Budget Setting Options (2 levels of options):

A
  1. at Campaign Level OR

2. set individual Ad Set Levels

A

FB uses machine learning to dynamically allocates your ad budget across Ad Sets based on performance.
- puts more money on the Ad Sets that are performing better.
(alternate option would be setting budgets at the Ad Set Level yourself).

  • CBO might mean that 90% of your budget goes to one Ad Set because it’s converting more efficiently.
  • you have to toggle this CBO setting to ON for Facebook to use it.
104

  • the actual amount spent can vary slightly day to day.
  • FB may spend up to 25% MORE than your Daily Budget if they see potential for more opportunities, or spend less.
  • But over all it averages out to your daily budget.
107
Q

“Lifetime Budget” =

A
  • how much you’re willing to spend for the entire campaign time.

110
Q

What’s a benefit of “Lowest Cost” campaign bid strategy for newbies?

By the end of your campaign, you’ll have a good idea of a general range for what it will cost you to get a specific action. This info gives you a ballpark for how much it costs you to get the results you’re aiming for. Armed with this information will help you be more accurate with planning future campaign budgets and funnel marketing allocations.

111
Q

Facebook may be able to reach fewer low cost actions because of the constraints.

112
Q

What are the 3 Bid Types Facebook has for Ad Campaigns?

A
  1. Lowest Cost
  2. Cost Cap
  3. Bid Cap
113
Q

Cost Cap Bid Strategy?

A
  • Allows you to set an average amount that you are willing to spend per action and FB will strive to stay around that amount for each action by going after the cheaper actions first and then if there are enough of them, also going after some more expensive actions.
  • FB may not spend your entire budget.
  • By the end your average spend per action will be AT or BELOW the Cost Control you set.
  • Great for when you want Cost Efficiency (and maybe after you have some idea of what your average benchmark actions cost because you’ve already run a lowest cost campaign)
114
Q

What. is your average called in Cost Cap bid auction style?

A

It’s called “Cost Control”

115
Q

What is “Cost Control”?

A

Cost Control is the amount of money you defined as the average for FB to aim to stick to for amount spent per desired action specified in your “Cost Cap” bid auction strategy for your campaign.

116
Q

What is a good reason to use Cost Cap?

A

When you want to maximize Cost Efficiency by keeping things around a certain price, but then averaging out to BELOW or AT that cost per action.

(Probably works best if you already have an idea of average cost per action because you’ve already run a Lowest Cost campaign and have an idea of the ballpark your actions cost you).

117
Q

Bid Cap:

A

Limits what FB can bid in every single auction. FB will never bid over that amount for any desired action.

this could be good if you know that an action is worth $10 to you and you never want to spend a penny more so that each action is always likely to be valuable to you.

118
Q

what is the setting you choose for Bid Cap?

A

You choose the “Bid Control” and that is the amount that you are not willing to spend beyond.

119
Q

What is the Bid Control?

A

The Bid Control is the amount that you are willing to spend per action but not a penny more for the “Bid Cap” campaign option.

No actions will cost a penny more than the Bid Control.

120
Q

What is prioritized in Lowest Cost Campaign Bid Strategy?

126
Q

Ad Delivery “Learning” phase; what does it mean?

A

It means your ad is in learning mode, Performance is less stable during this period and metrics are usually worse until Learning mode ends. FB is optimizing your ad for delivery.

A

After 50 optimization events.

128
Q

What if you don’t get 50 optimization events?

A

129
Q

What does “Learning Limited” mean under Delivery?

It means that FB didn’t receive enough optimization events to exit the Learning Phase. (unlikely to receive 50 optimization events since your last edit).

This indicates your budget isn’t being spent effectively.

130
Q

How to fix “Learning Limited Ad Sets”?

A
  • combine ad sets and campaigns
  • target a larger audience
  • change to automatic placements as a way to increase your audience size
  • raise your budget so it’s significant enough to receive 50 optimization events per week
