What are Facebook Ads?
Facebook Ads are paid advertisements delivered through Facebook and, where selected and eligible, other placements across Meta's advertising platforms. Businesses can use them to promote products, generate leads, increase awareness and encourage website conversions.
What is the difference between lead generation and sales campaigns?
Lead generation campaigns focus on collecting enquiries or contact details from potential customers. Sales campaigns focus on purchase-related actions or other conversion events that indicate buying activity. The most suitable objective depends on your business model and how customers convert.
Are Facebook Ads suitable for small businesses?
They can be suitable for small businesses that have a clearly defined audience, a relevant offer and a practical way to handle enquiries or fulfil orders. Campaign structure and budget should reflect the business's goals and capacity.
How much do Facebook Ads cost in Australia?
The cost varies according to audience demand, competition, creative, campaign objective and conversion performance. Your total investment may include advertising spend paid to Meta and a separate fee for campaign management or creative work. We recommend planning these costs separately.
How long does it take to see results from Facebook Ads?
Campaigns may begin generating engagement or enquiries soon after launch, but meaningful performance evaluation takes time and sufficient data. The timeline depends on your budget, audience, offer, sales cycle and conversion volume. Early results should be treated as learning signals rather than a guarantee of future performance.
Can Facebook Ads generate leads for service businesses?
Yes. Depending on the service and audience, campaigns can direct people to a website enquiry form, encourage booking requests or use eligible instant lead forms. Lead quality also depends on the offer, form design and follow-up process.
Do I need a website to run Facebook Ads?
Not always. Some lead campaigns can use eligible instant forms within Meta's platforms. However, a well-designed website can provide more detail, establish trust and support conversion tracking. The best setup depends on your campaign objective and customer journey.
How do you measure Facebook Ads performance?
We select metrics based on campaign goals. Lead campaigns may be assessed using lead volume, cost per lead and lead quality. Sales campaigns may use tracked purchases, conversion rate, cost per purchase and return on ad spend. Tracking setup and attribution limitations should be considered when interpreting results.
Can you retarget people who visited my website?
Where supported by the platform and subject to audience eligibility, consent requirements and applicable privacy rules, remarketing can help reconnect with previous website visitors or people who engaged with your business.
Can Facebook Ads work alongside SEO and Google Ads?
Yes. Facebook Ads can introduce your business to relevant audiences, while SEO helps people discover your website through organic search and Google Ads can reach users searching for particular products or services. Coordinating the channels can create a more connected marketing strategy.
