Meta offers powerful and precise ad targeting options through Meta Ads Manager , which goes far beyond the basic features of Facebook and Instagram boosts.
1. Difference between Boosts and Meta Ads Manager:
• Boosts:
• Simple to use, ideal for beginners.
• Limited in advanced targeting options and advertising objectives.
• Used primarily to increase visibility and interactions on a specific post (likes, comments, shares).
• Not always optimized for more strategic goals, like conversions or sales.
• Meta Ads Manager:
• A complete platform to manage and analyze all your advertising campaigns.
• Offers advanced targeting, performance tracking and optimization options.
• Allows you to choose specific goals (traffic, conversions, app installs, etc.) and integrate ads across multiple platforms (Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, WhatsApp, etc.).
• Ideal for high-impact campaigns with a measurable return on investment (ROI).
2. Targeting options in Meta Ads Manager:
1. Custom Audiences:
• Create audiences based on your own data, such as:
• Contact list from your CRM.
• Traffic to your website thanks to the Meta Pixel.
• Users who have interacted with your posts or Meta pages.
• Advantage: Ideal for remarketing, targeting people who already know your business.
2. Lookalike Audiences:
• Uses your existing audiences to identify new, similar users.
• Example: If you have a list of loyal customers, Meta Ads Manager can find people with similar characteristics.
• Advantage: Increases your chances of conversion with already pre-qualified audiences.
3. Demographic targeting:
• Based on criteria such as age, gender, language, marital status, or even profession.
• Example: A clothing brand may target women aged 25 to 34 who are interested in fashion.
4. Geographic targeting:
• Target users in specific regions, ranging from a neighborhood to an entire country.
• Example: A local business can focus its ads within a 10 km radius of its store.
5. Behavioral targeting:
• Based on users’ interests, behaviors and purchasing habits.
• Example: A travel agency can target users who have recently searched for flights or hotels.
