The Best Facebook Ad Targeting Methods

By Adam Khan


Purchasing ads on Facebook is a great way to find new customers. Facebook is the most popular social networks, which means your existing customers and a large number of potential customers use Facebook on a daily basis. It is important to use the right strategies to target your audience on Facebook.



Facebook uses information shared by users to create categories. You can choose the categories you want to reach out to based on age, gender, interests, language or geographic location. You can for instance target users within a certain area, who belong to a specific age group and have Spanish selected as the display language for Facebook. You can also select categories based on interests if you can define your audience in function of their hobbies or the topics they care about.

Facebook will give you the possibility to choose the audience you want to target with your ads or with your sponsored posts. You can choose more than one category but keep in mind that the number of people who see your ad depends on the budget you set for your campaign. If you have a limited budget, use as many filters as possible to define a smaller target audience instead of choosing broader categories to find more potential customers.

The categories are based on age, geographic location, gender or interests. The geographic location feature is a great way to target a local audience. You can also define your niche based on their age or their interests. In the advanced targeting feature, you will get the possibility to target your users depending on the display language they have chosen for Facebook. You can for instance target an English-speaking audience or a Spanish-speaking group so you can display an ad in their language.

Take the time to define your target audience so you can get better results from your Facebook marketing campaign. Check the results on a regular basis to make sure you are efficiently engaging users with your campaign.
