Facebook Ads Targeting Strategies

By Adam Khan


Facebook is an amazing marketing tool. Besides creating a page for your brand, you can have your ads featured on the social platform to reach out to new potential clients. Getting your ads featured on Facebook is an important investment, which is why you need to make sure your audience is properly targeted.



Facebook uses information shared by users to create categories. You can choose the categories you want to reach out to based on age, gender, interests, language or geographic location. You can for instance target users within a certain area, who belong to a specific age group and have Spanish selected as the display language for Facebook. You can also select categories based on interests if you can define your audience in function of their hobbies or the topics they care about.

Facebook users fill out their profiles with information about themselves. This information is then used to create categories of users. You can choose from many categories when publishing your ads but keep in mind that these categories are based on the information shared by Facebook users. If your target audience is not likely to use Facebook often enough to completely fill out their profile, you might have a hard time finding categories that correspond to your audience.

You can create ads or sponsored posts that will take Facebook users to your homepage, to a specific page of your site or to your Facebook page. Taking users to your homepage is a great way to engage new potential customers. Linking your ads to a specific page of your site is ideal if your ads or sponsored posts are about a discount or a product. Taking users to your official Facebook page will help you get more likes and strengthen your presence on Facebook but make sure your ads are not displayed to users who already liked your page.

These tips will help you get the most out of your Facebook advertising campaign. Keep track of the results to make sure you are targeting the right groups.
