Nowadays, Facebook offers multiple ways to engage with your target. Not only that, Facebook personalizes every ad for every customer, automatically.
It will deliver a customized image and text to each person depending on their individual likes/ behaviors. (Provided multiple image types and texts have been included as part of the ad creatives).
How does this work? Facebook will show the type of image to each person depending on their personal likes and behaviors. For example, if Vincent typically is more responsive to video ads, the Facebook algorithm will show him the video version of your ad. Likewise for Sally- she will see the single image version because that’s what she engages with most.
In a similar fashion, Facebook will show different text (both primary and headline) to each person depending on what is known about their likes, behaviors, etc.

The goal of an ad is to attract a specific group of people and get them to click it. The visuals make the ad appealing, and the copy convinces them this is the product or solution they need right now.
The key to optimizing your ads is to create appealing visuals and words that speak to your target audience. We’ve gone into detail below about what you can do to help your ads be the best they can be.
The image is the very first thing someone sees when scrolling in their social media feed. This is your first (and maybe only) chance to immediately capture the attention of your audience.
For example, Facebook ads with contrasting color combinations often have a higher CTR (click-through-rate). Ads high in contrast stand out in a crowded feed (i.e. green background with RED text)
Avoid putting too much text on the image (aim for no more than 20%)
Use color (and filters) to grab attention
Use high-resolution images
Include your logo to promote your brand
Show people using your product or service
Simple, effective, and streamlined Messaging- FOCUS your message
Highlight social proof like testimonials
Stick to vertical or square video
Keep your videos short: 15 seconds or less
Get clear about your goals- don’t try to include everything
Design for sound off
Capture attention quickly: make the first 3 seconds the most compelling
Feature your product/ brand message/logo within the first 5 seconds.
Accompany with compelling copy (and a beautiful thumbnail)
Make it a pleasure to watch
Typically best to use for more information about 1 topic/ course
**Card order does not matter.** FB algorithm personalizes to each person showing the most appropriate card first and also optimizes to show the best performing card first.
If order of the cards is important to keep as is, then you must be clear about that. We will turn off the optimization in that case.
Try to have a theme where possible. Makes your messaging easier to understand
Follow Single Image best practices
Example:
Since the majority of your audience are engaging with social media on mobile devices, it’s vital to keep your ad body text short, appealing, and to the point.
Do you know that mobile accounted for 79% of social media site visits in the U.S. in 2019? (It is no doubt higher by now). That figure rises when it comes to the U.K. where 98% of social media users access via mobile devices. If you want to engage these people, keep it short!
Facebook’s own research finds that brief posts see higher engagement and CTRs. Engagement increases as posts get shorter. There is no limit on post length, but posts with 120-139 characters were 13.3% more engaging than posts with 140-159 characters.
Then, talk to them (not “at” them) and talk like them to make your ad relatable and convincing.
The primary body text only needs to be a teaser that makes readers want to click to learn more. Give your body copy a single goal, and stick to it. Focus on the value you’re offering.
Tips:
👉Target the benefit or pain point and ask a question
👉 Include the specific dates or location
The overall campaign goal is to create interest without including all of the details. If a reader needs to wade through a lot of text to reach the call-to-action button, they’re less likely to click on it.
That bears repeating— the more text they have to read, they are LESS LIKELY to click.
Make the most out of your ad copy…write for your customer! Deliver only the most important information and leave the rest of the story to be told on your landing pages. Shorter ad copy means there's less information for a reader to process.
Less is more!
The headline text can work together with the image as something that will make the audience want to Stop Scrolling. People are most likely to act on your ad's headline even before they read the rest of the ad copy.
👉Keep headlines short- between 25-40 characters
👉The 3 C's to writing effective, short Facebook ad headlines:

For optimal conversion, the landing page where the ad is directed should reinforce the message in the ad. Your landing page should be high-quality and offer value to your audience to help them make the decision to convert.
👉Some actions to consider:
When choosing a click-through URL, ask yourself: What is the main goal of your ad campaign? If it’s to generate overall interest or promote registrations, be sure to include an option for people to leave their email address so you can contact them with more information.
In order to effectively measure the results of your campaign, it is crucial to use a tracking link.
This will allow you to see exactly how many visitors reach your landing page or register for an event through a specific ad retargeting campaign. You can easily create a custom tracking link through Campaign URL Builder.
A custom URL enables you to measure campaigns in Google Analytics or other web analytics services. If you need help getting Google Analytics set up for your site, please reach out to our Customer Success team.
In general, tracking links are a quick and simple way of monitoring webpage traffic and the success of different campaigns.
Many elements can affect conversion—industry, campaign optimization, timing, creative quality, etc.
If you find a lot of people are viewing your ads but few are clicking on them, then there may be issues with:
