In this video, Luke explains what Facebook Lead Ads & Conversion Ads are and what makes them effective in reaching potential customers.
Facebook lead and conversion ads use Facebook’s machine learning and AI technology to learn what audiences are more responsive and more likely to complete your most desired action (MDA). This means your ads are displayed to people who are more likely to be interested in what you’re selling, and in turn, improve the effectiveness of your ads.
To begin with, you tell Facebook what MDA you would like people to complete, this could include submitting a form, making a purchase or requesting a quote. After some time and people have completed the MDA, Facebook will find people who fit a similar profile to those who have already completed your MDA and target them.
Whilst we have had a lot of success with these types of ads for our customers, it’s not for everyone. We have seen certain types of business have more success than others.
