Hello. Do you have optimization for 1 day or 7 days? Are you running ads for conversion or traffic?

I've been running an e-commerce brand for atleast a year before Apple introduced the pixel killing IOS. Facebook seems to be having a very hard time finding buyers, our ads went from decent to costing over 40% more due to really bad conversions. Any insight into an issue to deal with the IOS update and the fb algo?

Do you think is worth create a community through Facebook ads? Let me explain better, I would use engagement campaign on viral articles and earn from Adsense (and of course invite engagers to like my page for build the community) do you think could be a good idea?

Yes, one option is to move traffic to instagram. Have you tried that?

Yes, you can get more subscribers very cheaply

7 days conversion.

As long as you are optimizing for 7 days, Facebook will show ads to everyone. You have to wait. Or set the optimization to 1 day

Just realized you still answer questions, thanks.
Quick question, how would you approach local services lead generation through facebook ads? to your knowledge is it profitable these days?
Business example - Locksmith/Garage Door/Carpet cleaning etc.
Currently generating leads in a blackhat way but looking to move on to a more sustainable approach.

Some of these items are not allowed on Facebook. It's profitable, but risky. We would try the lead form first .

Does Facebook flag
-Domain
-Creative
-Ad Copy
-Landing Page

You need to replace everything except the creative text. Facebook doesn't like similar data

@dontfarm If your profile is permanently banned and you make a new profile using the same information/identity and the new account has "suspicious activity" flag and asks for ID on personal ad account, will you pass the ID verification (even though your profile with same name/birthdate/identity has been permanently banned previously)? I'm using my real identity/name/photos.

Thanks so much for your help.

Hi, thank you for sharing your knowledge. Im going to start offering services like manual growth or dm services on instagram. Do I have to take into account any keyword or visual content so I don't get blocked from advertising? For example not to use words like organic followers? Is there any suggestion to know which campaign or content is not approved by facebook for this kind of services (not smm panels).
On the other hand, for lead generation is it preferable send leads to web / profile or DM (to generate a conversation).

Hypothetically, If I have a list of Instagram users, can I upload them to FB ads and target my ads on them?

 

[Mark Quadbang]

I have a Facebook ad running - I am targeting London in the UK only and also targeting only english language speakers. However I am finding that 95% of my engagement and leads are from eastern Europeans who can't speak english.
My question is: how do I exclude people from these countries as they are not who I am trying to target and there is no option to exclude countries in fb ad manager?
Thank you

Instagram ads or Facebook ads Which one is most beneficial?

Instagram ads or Facebook ads Which one is most beneficial?

depends on your niche, i'd say if you have younger audience go for ig, if you have older audience rather try fb.

Is it worth promoting adult/nootropics/weight loss products with the FB ads in 2020 or you get banned instantly? I am an affiliate for the manufacturers.

my experience is that you will get banned almost instantly... but you can use some strategies to make your accounts/campaigns last longer. e.g., you can send traffic to an advertorial before the sales page, and even to a simple safe redirection page before the advertorial.
It's less efficient in terms of getting traffic to the offer page, 'cause you'll inevitably loose some of the visitors in each step, but you can work that way without being blocked in 2-3 days (as already happened to me... )

Instagram ads or Facebook ads Which one is most beneficial?

it's basically the same, as you consider that you can run the same ads in both at the same time. it's just more space to annouce. at least when it comes to Brazil, it is usually like this: if your target audience has more money/is older, they will be on Facebook; if have less money/are younger, they will be on Instagram (or tiktok, now).
