Facebook advertising means paid campaigns that Meta shows in the feed, Stories, Reels, Messenger and on partner apps. Facebook is no longer “the network for everyone”, but for many niches it remains an effective channel: it offers a broad adult audience, convenient lead forms, product catalogues and ads that open a chat. For services, B2B, education and online stores we almost always consider Facebook as part of the media plan together with Instagram advertising.
How a Facebook ads agency sets up campaigns
We start with an audit of your niche, competitors, funnel and the way your team handles enquiries. Then comes the technical foundation: Business Manager, the Meta Pixel, Conversions API, events and UTM tags. Without accurate events the algorithm optimises for clicks instead of leads. After that we build a campaign structure with cold, warm and retargeting audiences, prepare creative and copy for several hypotheses and launch. In the first weeks we drop weak ads, then we scale.
What Facebook ads are best for
- Lead generation: instant forms, click-to-message ads and landing pages;
- Online stores: catalogue and dynamic ads, win-back of shoppers;
- Apps: installs and in-app actions;
- Local businesses: reach around a point on the map;
- Education and expert services: webinars, registrations and consultations.
Lead forms or a landing page?
A lead form inside Facebook usually brings more enquiries at a lower price because people do not have to leave the app, but some of those contacts will be casual. A landing page generates fewer enquiries that are typically more considered. We test both, add qualifying questions to forms to filter out poor-fit contacts, and set up fast hand-off to your sales team, because a quick reply noticeably improves the share of leads that turn into customers.
Facebook ads for online stores
For stores we connect the product catalogue and the ViewContent, AddToCart and Purchase events, then run dynamic ads so every visitor sees the items they looked at. Separate campaigns handle repeat purchases and upsell. Beyond paid social, our e-commerce marketing service looks at the whole acquisition picture.
Click-to-message ads
For appointments, quotes and quick questions, ads that open a Messenger or WhatsApp chat can work better than a form. We prepare opening replies, qualifying questions and a hand-off rule so that chats are answered by a person who owns them.
How much do Facebook advertising services cost?
The cost has two parts: our management fee, which starts from $500 per month, and the ad budget you pay to Meta. Cost per click and per lead varies strongly with niche, competition and location, so we give a realistic forecast after a test launch. The fee is agreed before work starts, so you know your total spend.
Facebook, Google and SEO together
Paid social creates demand while Google Ads management captures people who are already searching, so in many niches the channels work better together. Ads do not directly change your search rankings, but they bring visitors and brand interest that also support organic growth.
