What are three ways to optimize your ads?
Introduction
It’s no surprise that many advertisers use the same approach to optimize their ads. However, this can be a risky method of optimization. If you’re not careful, it could lead to an unnecessary increase in your overall ad spend and a decrease in performance over time. The best way to make sure your ads are optimized properly is by using each of these three methods:
Use the right ad creative
The first way to optimize your ads is by using the right ad creative. A good rule of thumb is to use images that are relevant to your business and test different creatives to see which ones work best. You can also use a call-to-action (CTA) in your ads, such as “Call now” or “Get started.”
Make sure you have compelling headlines and offers that will get people’s attention!
Use the right targeting method for your business goals
The second way to optimize your ads is by choosing the right targeting method for your business goals. There are five different types of targeting:
- Location
- Demographic
- Interests (including topics, categories and behaviors)
- Lookalike audiences (a subset of demographic) This is best for brand awareness and reach because it allows you to reach people who resemble those who have already purchased from you on Facebook or its partners’ websites.
Make sure you’re getting the most out of your budget with smart bidding and ad scheduling
Bidding is another crucial element to ad optimization. You want to make sure you’re getting the most out of your budget, so it’s important to set up smart bidding strategies that are specific to your goals.
If you’re looking for more clicks or conversions (and not necessarily both), consider using manual CPC bidding rather than automatic cost-per-click (CPC) bidding, which will maximize reach at any cost. If you want less expensive clicks but are okay with sacrificing some clicks in order to keep costs down, try decreasing the max bid amount or decreasing bids by certain percentages during off hours when there aren’t many people online–this way, Google won’t spend as much money on ads that aren’t performing well for you.
If conversion tracking has been enabled for an ad group and no conversion data has been recorded yet:
- The first impression data from those impressions counts toward this threshold until there is enough historical impression data from those ads within this ad group; then only newly served impressions count toward this threshold going forward until there is enough historical impression data from all ads within this ad group.*

You can use the following tools:
- Ad preview and diagnose – This tool helps you understand how your ads look on different devices and how much it costs for each click. You can also see how many impressions, clicks, conversions and cost-per-action (CPA) you’ve gotten from each version of an ad so far.
- Keyword planner – This tool helps you plan where to advertise by letting you know what phrases people are searching for on Google or YouTube at any given time of day or night–and where those searches are coming from geographically speaking!
