Developing a Facebook Ads Strategy

You’re ready to create your Facebook ad plan after you’ve linked your digital advertising with your overall marketing strategy. To get you started, here’s a template:

What are your objectives? Setting specific and quantifiable objectives will make optimization simpler in the long run.

Facebook advertising should be an important part of your restaurant’s development strategy since they provide access to millions of prospective consumers.

Creating Restaurant Facebook Ads

After you’ve decided on your Facebook ad approach, it’s time to get creative. This approach may scare consumers, leading them to abandon Facebook advertising entirely. Don’t be concerned! We’re here to assist, and you’ll be amazed at how simple it is to create Facebook advertisements.

Step 1: Establish a Facebook Business Page.

You must have a Facebook Business account to utilize Facebook advertising for restaurants. You must also connect this account to a personal Facebook profile. So, if you don’t already have one, now is the time to start. Do you have no idea how to build a company profile for your restaurant?

Step 2: Launch a Campaign

Facebook advertisements are divided into many layers, including campaigns, ad sets, and the actual ads.

When you establish a campaign, you will be prompted to choose a goal. There are now 11 choices; we’ll go through some of the finest for restaurant marketing.

Traffic in the Store

The most often utilized marketing goal for restaurants is store traffic. By choosing this target, you are aiming to increase in-store traffic to your website.

Brand Recognition

Brand Awareness is another option you may explore. While this may not immediately generate in-store traffic, it can increase visits over time by bringing prospective consumers to your restaurant’s attention.

Reach

When you choose the Reach goal, your advertisements will be optimized to reach as many people as possible within the audience you choose. When compared to other objectives, reach is the most wide. The Facebook algorithm will try to display your ad to as many individuals as possible who are relevant to your targeting.

Traffic

By choosing the Traffic goal, Facebook will set its algorithm to drive as many people as possible to your website’s webpage. You may utilize this technique if you’re running a campaign with an offer on a website or online menu.

You’ll also need to enter your campaign budget. You may choose Daily for the amount you want to pay each day or Lifetime for the total amount you want to pay for the length (life) of the campaign.

Step 3: Give Your Campaign a Name

Give your campaign a distinct name so that it can be identified. Some companies may develop several campaigns based on various goals, thus names will assist you in distinguishing them.

Step 4: Give Your Ad Set a Name

As previously stated, your advertisements may be organized into three tiers. Ad sets are the building blocks of campaigns. Ad sets are groupings (sets) of various advertisements. Because you may apply various audiences to different ad sets, it’s a good idea to give them titles that help you understand both the goal and the target of that specific ad set.

Step 5: Give Your Ad a Name

When establishing a campaign, you won’t be able to go on unless you give your ad a name. Don’t be too concerned about this since you may alter it before finishing the campaign. If necessary, you may use a “placeholder” name until you’ve come up with a better one.

When it comes time to name your ad, give it a name that defines it. For example, “French Fries–Blue Background” is a dependable ad name. This term describes the ad’s subject matter as well as its creative approach. These particulars will assist you later in optimizing it.

So far, here’s how our campaign could look:

NOTE: Before you can continue building your campaign with the Shop Traffic goal, you must first set up your store location.

Step 6: Select Your Audience

If you have a marketing plan for your restaurant, you most likely have a target consumer in mind. If not, read this article to learn how to identify your target market. Facebook enables you to target these people based on a variety of factors.

When you’re in the ad set settings, you may utilize custom targeting to choose who sees your advertisements. The audience overview tab may be found here.

Let’s go a little further to see what choices are accessible. Choose New, then Custom Audience. The following popup should appear:

If you have a customer list or have the Facebook Pixel placed on your website, you may target individuals (or people who look like them) using the Website or Customer List settings.

Please keep in mind that if you don’t have any data or customer lists, click “Cancel” to create a new audience based on Facebook user demographics.

You should be returned to the previous screen. Hover over Detailed Targeting and choose Edit to better target your audience.

I’ve narrowed down a group of parents of all genders between the ages of 40 and 50 who live within 25 miles of Louisville, Kentucky who are interested in fast food or fast-casual businesses. I think these individuals will come to my restaurant (and hopefully their children as well!).

On the right side of your screen, you’ll also see the anticipated daily reach. This statistic indicates how many people Facebook expects to view your ad depending on the targeting you choose. In this case, Facebook anticipates that between 1,600 and 4,600 people will see my ad. There are many targeting choices available, so experiment to discover what works best for your business.

Step7: Design Your Ads

The last stage in developing your Facebook ad strategy is to design the advertisements themselves. Begin by clicking Create+ on the Ads tab of the Facebook Ads Manager. You will then be able to name your ad and upload your graphics. Consider the following example.

Your advertisement would appear like the one below. Because we want to attract visitors to our website, we utilized the See Menu call to action (CTA) button in this case. This choice would be different if the Store Visit goal was used.

That’s all! After you’ve published your ad and activated your campaign, it should appear in the Facebook newsfeeds of your newly-targeted audience within a few hours. Following the publication of your advertisements, the Facebook system will evaluate them to verify that they satisfy the criteria. If your advertisements are rejected, Facebook will explain why so you can improve them.

Measuring Advertising Outcomes

After your advertisements have been running for at least one week, you should evaluate their performance to see if they are generating money for your business. This study may be challenging, particularly if the Store Traffic goal is used. However, there are a few things you may look at to see how your advertisements are working.

Examine Store Traffic

Have you seen an increase in traffic to your restaurant for no obvious reason other than your new Facebook advertising campaign? You may reasonably infer that this traffic is a consequence of the advertisement. Because this is still a “guess,” some businesses will only credit a part of this traffic to Facebook. For example, if your shops experience a 32% increase in traffic, some businesses may only credit 50% of that to Facebook advertising. This dynamic is known as attribution, or determining what caused the rise in traffic to your business.

Facebook as a Performance Metric

Facebook has its own set of performance measurement tools. You may examine the amount of clicks, comments, or likes on your advertisements to see which are the most effective. Because of Facebook’s algorithm, advertisements with more clicks and likes are more likely to be displayed.

Improving the ROI of Your Restaurant Ads

You may use these methods to improve your ROI after evaluating how your advertisements are working.

Examine Your Targeting

If your advertisements aren’t doing as well as you expected, you might reconsider your targeting. Your poor performance may be the result of a mismatch between your restaurant and its intended clientele. For example, if you own a high-end fine dining establishment, you should definitely avoid marketing to moms and dads with children since they are not your ideal client.

An improper setup is another frequent error when it comes to targeting. Because there are so many possible options, you should double-check your targeting before posting your ad package. It may be the incorrect place (there’s a Louisville Colorado, too!) or it could be aimed towards a different language. You may also try broadening your age range to maximize the number of ad impressions for your campaign.

I hope you have now overcome with this useful article. You can share it with your friends.
