FACEBOOK & INSTAGRAM ADVERTISING

Meta Ads

With over 44 million Facebook users and 34 million Instagram users in the UK alone, Meta is the most dominant social media platform. It also has the most extensive audience targeting capabilities. This powerful combination means that any brand can target niche audiences and drive results at every stage of the funnel; increasing reach, generating engagement and driving conversions. 

Meta’s powerful lookalike audiences can help you reach new audiences who are most likely to be interested in your business by finding those similar to your best existing customers.

Meta Ads allow you to target many different placements through one ad platform, including news feed, stories, marketplace and messenger using a variety of ad types including single image, carousel and video. This means your content can be in front of your audience across the entire platform. Our Meta experts build bespoke strategies which utilise the best-performing placements, for example using carousel ads for eCommerce brands to display a range of products, brands or ranges, or using videos to skyrocket reach, engage users and boost brand awareness.

When managed correctly, advertisers can achieve significant brand exposure by reaching a large audience and with a lower cost due to Meta’s model of CPM (cost per thousand impressions) – unlike Google or Microsoft Ads where advertisers are charged per click or engagement.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • What is Meta?

    Meta is the parent company of various social media platforms, including Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Oculus. Formerly known as Facebook, Inc., Meta rebranded in October 2021 to reflect its broader vision of building a “metaverse” — a virtual reality space where people can interact, work, play, and create in a digital environment. Meta’s platforms are used by billions of people worldwide for social networking, messaging, photo and video sharing, virtual reality experiences, and more.

  • Do I need to be active organically on Facebook and Instagram?

    While paid ads on Facebook and Instagram are essential for reaching specific marketing objectives, maintaining an active organic presence complements and enhances your paid efforts. By engaging with your audience organically, you build trust, credibility, and loyalty, which can positively impact the performance of your paid ads and contribute to long-term success.

  • How long does it take to start seeing results on Meta?

    While there’s no fixed timeline for seeing results from Meta ads, it’s common to start observing some initial outcomes within the first few days to weeks of launching your campaigns. However, achieving significant and sustainable results typically requires ongoing optimisation, testing, and refinement over time. By setting realistic expectations, monitoring performance closely, and adapting your strategies as needed, you can maximise the effectiveness of your Meta ad campaigns.

  • Where do people see ads from Meta/Facebook?

    Ads managed through Meta Ads Manager, formerly known as Facebook Ads Manager, are visible across Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, and the Audience Network – a network of mobile apps partnered with Meta for advertising. These platforms provide over 20 placement options, allowing ads to appear in various formats and locations. For instance, an Instagram Reels ad differs significantly from a Facebook Marketplace ad.

  • What is the Facebook Pixel?

    The Facebook Pixel is a piece of code that advertisers can add to their website to track user interactions and conversions from their Meta ads. It helps optimise ad delivery and retarget website visitors with relevant ads.
