Facebook advertising – how au fait are you really?

December 18, 2013

Having a firm grasp of Facebook advertising mechanics is a must when it comes to social media marketing. Any creative campaign can be turbocharged by way of Facebook ads, assuming they are managed effectively and optimised in real-time.

But Facebook doesn’t always make it easy for marketeers to get started, especially since they regularly make changes and tweaks to their advertising platform. But don’t be afraid – once you’ve got a good grasp of the basic ins and outs of the platform, you’ll be on your way. The tricky part is getting your head around the lingo and core elements involved.

I rather like the below infographic, which is a lovely little glossary of Facebook advertising terms. Remember: Don’t let the lingo put you off, it’s all straightforward really.

That’s why social feels harder, it’s no longer a click machine, it’s an answer surface. Ofcom shows AI summaries are now common in search results, and YouTube remains the UK’s biggest social utility by reach and time spent. If your story is inconsistent, your evidence is scattered, or your customer proof is buried, lurkers can’t do the job of trusting you for you.
