SEO Glossary: Facebook Advertising

In a nutshell: What is Facebook advertising?

With the help of Facebook Advertising, it is possible to place advertisements on the Facebook network. Advertisers have the option of creating ads for their own Facebook pages or external websites.

What is Facebook Advertising?

Facebook Advertising allows private users and companies to create targeted advertisements. These are paid advertisements with special targeting. This means that the ads are aimed at a specific target group (for example, male users between the ages of 30 and 50).

 

The aim of Facebook Advertising ads is to obtain certain actions.

 

These include:

 

 

Facebook and Instagram (where the ads are also displayed) now have almost 2-3 billion users. Reason enough to target people here with your own ads. Facebook Advertising offers various options.

How does Facebook advertising work?

If interested parties want to use Facebook Advertising and place ads on the network, they need a private Facebook profile or business account. A special business account is also possible, but this must first be applied for. With a business account, advertisers receive personal support.

 

Basically, advertisers only have to complete three steps to place ads on Facebook:

 

  • Design of an advertisement (form and content)
  • Targeting (definition of a specific target group. Example: gender, age, place of residence and interests).
  • Determination of the daily budget and corresponding bid proposals

 

Advertisers have the option of booking their advertising with two billing models:

 

  • CPC (Cost per Click)
  • CPM (Cost per Mille)
  • How high the click price is depends on the CLICK RATE. The better the click rate, the lower the price usually is.

 

How can online store operators use remarketing?

Without having to go to great technical lengths, online store operators can use well-known providers such as the REMARKETING TOOL FROM GOOGLE-ADWORDS remarketing tool. Bing also offers such a tool.

 

To do this, a corresponding tag is simply integrated into the source code of all store pages. Cookies then track user behavior so that the ads are displayed accordingly in the network.

 

In the settings of the Remarketing-tool, it is now possible to make individual fine adjustments. For example, certain interest groups can be selected here to receive a corresponding advertisement.
