Put together a Facebook marketing plan that won’t be obsolete in 2 years time—we’ve been doing this for 10 years, since the very beginning of Facebook ads.
Not get caught off-guard by changes Facebook is making, since we’ll cover Facebook’s long-term strategy with video, bots, analytics, content curation, and automation.
Be well-versed in all 9 primary business objectives and ad types you can create—we are not covering premium ads that are for TV and brand awareness. But we will cover retail, parent-child, and global pages, which are enterprise topics.
You’ll walk away with all the tools that pro-level Facebook advertisers use and be able to actually use them, even if your budget is a dollar a day, you’re not an engineer, and Facebook ads is just one of many responsibilities you carry. By breaking the management and optimization of Facebook into checklists, execution becomes a series of small, relatively simple steps that you can delegate if you wish. These tools are free and include:
- Facebook Pixel Helper—to troubleshoot conversion and tracking
- Facebook Audience Manager—to build and tune custom audiences, saved audiences, and lookalikes.
- CrowdTangle—to monitor for social proof, so you can boost the good things others say about you.
- Ads Manager (desktop and app)—so you know when to manage Facebook ads on the go versus when to sit down and make bulk changes.
- Facebook Analytics—understand which metrics are important, especially as it relates to video ads, Facebook lead ads, and attribution.
- Instant Articles (including Canvas), so you can load pages instantly and integrate with Google AMP.
