How does Facebook Advertising work?

Facebook Ads work by allowing you to target specific audiences based on demographics, personal interests, purchasing behavior, life events, and several other criteria. This approach differs greatly from Google Ads, which relies on targeting specific keywords, search terms and phrases that are entered by users on Google.
 

So do Facebook Ads work?

Fortunately, the answer is yes. Facebook advertising works incredibly well. You can capture leads and conversions by finding customers who will likely benefit from your service or product based on things they’re interested in and how they behave online.
 
When used correctly, Facebook advertising is a highly effective marketing tool that can generate leads and conversions for your business.
