These 5 tips for uncovering quality leads through Facebook will set you on the right path to social media marketing success.
Monitor the Entire Sales Process
You need to think holistically to get the most out of your Facebook lead ads. By looking at the bigger picture, you are able to identify weaknesses in your entire sales process. If any aspect of your sales funnel is unsatisfactory from a user perspective, you’ll lose potential conversions along the way.
It’s important to stay objective when thinking about Facebook lead ads. Try and detach yourself emotionally from your business to work out if the value proposition you are offering is truly appealing.
Tweak and Track Your Targeting Efforts
If at first you don’t succeed, try and try again. Thankfully, Facebook provides detailed tracking tools that allow you to see potential improvements and where exactly you’re going wrong.
One tweaking tactic that often pays dividends is adding qualifiers – structuring the provided fields by asking for something specific such as a preferred budget can result in higher quality leads.
Ensure Your Facebook Lead Ads Ask the Right Questions
One question too many or an information request that makes users feel uncomfortable can seriously damage your conversion rates. Think about the information that you would feel comfortable in supplying before asking others to do the same.
Facebook themselves have provided some handy custom questions you can use, depending on the industry you’re targeting and the end goal you have in mind.
Make Use of Context Cards
Context cards are a great way to provide more detail and improve the perception of your lead ads. For those who don’t know, context cards are an additional page that shows up after clicking on a lead ad, but before a signup page appears.
The specifications you see on a context card are different to the original lead ad – you can add additional text that explains the benefits of signing up, write a different headline up to a max of 45 characters and customise your call-to-action button with up to 30 characters.
Consumers want to know as much as possible about the legitimacy of your business before signing up, and context cards are an effective way to alleviate such fears.
Use Lookalike Audience to Find New Customers
Lookalike Audience is a useful Facebook feature that allows you to target people who are likely to be interested in your business, based on their similarity to your existing customers.
To take advantage of the feature you’ll need to choose a source audience, provide your pixel data and mobile app data to allow Facebook to find lookalikes. The feature is customisable depending on your intention, and can be a helpful way to uncover new customers based on previous habits and demographic data.
