Facebook advertising isn’t child’s play. It’s ridiculously expensive and can give you a minor heart attack if it fails to bring a reasonable Return on Investment (ROI). But running a Facebook campaign can be <\/span>daunting <\/span><\/i>if you don’t have much experience in digital marketing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And that\u2019s why I’ve prepared this guide to walk you through Facebook ads marketing and its relevant information, like how Facebook can deceive you, the importance of calculating ROI, ways to measure it, and much more.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How other metrics might mislead you?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Facebook offers tremendous help in creating a customer persona using basic demographic information of your target audience. However, considering the gigantic ocean of Facebook marketing, that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Before you even know it, Facebook misleads you with superficial metrics like click-through rate, likes, comments, shares, and tags. And if you only look at the surface, you’ll fail to understand the primary purpose of Facebook advertising campaigns \u2013 ROI.<\/span><\/p>\n

Think about it. What’s the point of getting 500+ likes and 1500+ comments on a Facebook post if your ad spend doesn’t break even, let alone make a profit after an insanely high ad spend? Check out the following image. It shows engagement, but nowhere does it predict our brand’s ROI.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Insert a screenshot of any of YOUR Facebook ads here.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now you see the point?<\/span><\/p>\n

The fundamental aspect of any business is its bottom line. Everything else comes second and serves as <\/span>a connector<\/span><\/i> to help achieve a goal.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But here’s the catch. Facebook engagement isn’t completely useless. For example, if you’re targeting 50+ conservative men, you can create content by better understanding their interests, pains, and desires that directly <\/span>speak <\/span><\/i>to them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In this case, smart marketers (like you) should know that older folks are skeptical about the internet, especially online shopping. So, it’s one thing to engage them on Facebook, but another to drive an action out of them to increase the ROAS \u2013 Return On Ad Spend (more on it later).<\/span><\/p>\n

But why is ROI the most important metric for Facebook Ads?<\/b><\/h2>\n

To get a deeper understanding of your Facebook ads ROI, it’s imperative to think beyond the social impact to know how much revenue your business generates from old customers and newly acquired leads.<\/span><\/p>\n

And rightfully so; as a marketer or a business owner, you should analyze your sales funnel and track Facebook ROI to know which ads are performing well. Then you can double down on them to carry out effective lead generation to boost your sales and conversion rates.<\/span><\/p>\n

So if you don’t calculate <\/span>the most important<\/span><\/i> metric \u2013 Facebook ads ROI \u2013 you won’t possibly know if an ad is worth spending money on or if you need to cut back.<\/span><\/p>\n

How to calculate Facebook Ads ROI?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Great question.<\/span><\/p>\n

At first, it may look as simple as subtracting the Facebook ad spend from the total revenue generated, but it’s a little more complex than that because you have to consider numerous factors. There are many ways to measure ROI on Facebook ad spending. However, I find the following method the most convincing because:<\/span><\/p>\n
