Because of your channel, my monthly sales are now 5 figures. I study your videos and apply EVERYTHING you suggest. You've never led me wrong. Thank you so much!!
As usual, you will learn something watching Ben's videos. No nonsense intro's and annoying music. Straight into the content, speaks quickly, dispenses useful advice and ends with a cheeky but polite CTA near the end which no one can argue with. Love your work! Thanks for these.
Wow.. you`re a goat for this. I was struggling trying to figure out what interest to target and you literally gave the sauce away to find what others are targeting. Thank you for that. Hoping many blessings come your way!!!
As a real estate agent, I've been wondering if there's a way to target the audience based on their social status. I know the question sounds dumb but if there really is or if it's possible then it would help a lot in sorting out what type of property and price to offer to them😅😅
Ben..you talk like pro.! I hope you can help with the following issue..my you tube ads said not eligible(This campaign is pending) so I don t know what to fix
Very good ben heath i am from Pakistan learn alot from you and recommend your channel to many friends.thanks i believe your channel is best for fb ads.
Great insights to able to see the targeting options competitors are using for an ad, would be even more helpful if you could see if the ad is actually successful!
Hi Jen, thanks a lot. You can't guarantee it, but you can work it out to some extent using Facebook's ad library. Here's a video that explains a lot more: ruclips.net/video/_QSYCBtf2c8/видео.html
Hey Ben, Currently i'm running ads for a water bottle company. The water bottles can keep you liquid cold in 24 hours. I have a hard time making results for them. Do you have any advice?
I am seeing "you interacted with ads about baby supplies" and "you interacted with pages and posts about food services" and "you interacted with products related to clothing" - how do i setup these audiences? Thanks
That's awesome Ben. New Subscriber here. If I am trying to find clients as a thyroid coach, how can I find my target audience is what I am confused. I don't see any interests in detailed targeting or suggestions.
Hi There... Im Era. 🙋♀😀 If you don't mind, I want to ask you a question. usually I have ads ok. but since week two, the ads have been very slow. In fact, I have a high daily budget. any advice from you? I would really appreciate if you could give me an opinion.
Thanks for the video! I am not living in any of Big 4 countries and I when I click on Why am I seeing this ad it only shows my age, gender and English as some reasons. SO I cannot see any interest :( maybe because they are already doing broad targeting? Any advice on this?
HEY TEACHER .... SOLE MY PROBLEM TO DAY ..... THANKS ALOT SHIRING FOR YOUR KNOWLEDGE . NO BODY DIDN'T DELL THIS VALUABLE INFORMATION... AGAIN THANX & IKNOW ENGLISH LITTLE BIT ANY ..... MISTAKE HER SRY FOR THAT ❤❤❤❤
Hi Ben, great stuff here. Question, Is this FB only? You mention IG but when I click the dots it pulls up "about this account" and "about ig ads" thanks
I didn't know any of this information so thank you so much! . My question is does this considered replacement of "Audience insight" which was discontinued last month? Also I wonder if there is any method where I can access "Page Likes" tab which used to show page likes by categories.
You are very welcome :) This can help with the loss of Audience Insights but does not replace it. I'm not impressed with Facebook's Insights tool which they have replaced it with. I have a video coming out next about how to find targeting options without Audience Insights. I think you'll find that very helpful.
I have a question I have a campaign and it is for call only I saw my ad on Facebook I click at the button call and I spoke to someone at result on Facebook didn’t account it as 1 lead or conversion whyyyy???
Hey Ben, any advice on how to target audiences when it comes to Housing and other types of business which require category declaration, as FB dramatically limits detailed targeting for those? Thanks for the amazing content you provide btw 😊👌
Hers an interesting question for you. Say your competitor sells multiple products for beauty and runs an add for shampoo but runs an add for a blow dryer in a different add. Is there a way to copy the same audience criteria in one of the ads instead of their whole audience?
Whatever you see is their targeting for that specific ad - it could be different for other campaigns, ads, etc. You aren't being shown their whole targeting set up.
What does "Your ads may be based on other advertiser choices, your profile and activities - such as websites that you visit and ads that you interact with - as well as other information not listed here" mean? Could it be retargeting? And what information could not be listed?
Success of your Advertisement is totally based on network the ad generate. It is not totally based on audience alone! If your audience can bring in a better network and a meaningful engagement your ad will perform well!
@@BenHeath my answer is in simple English Language as that it's depend on network it generates from various factors. If you don't understand how the cookies work in Facebook server, and how Facebook respond to it, you can't run the ad and generate your network. More over the unrealistic cookies indication is the reality that Facebook discontinued Facebook Audience Insight. We do ads as well for customers all over the world... Impulse customer category target always works fine with us that bring more opportunities than a specific segmentation.
What if I wanna see the audience of a video that did not come up on my feed. Because I paste the link of a video I wanna check the audience and the option ''Why am I seeing this ad'' is not coming up on my screen. Is there an another way to check the audience ? Thank you !
I really enjoy your videos. I offer a real estate service as an investor who does fix n flips and buys rentals. Is there a way to hyper target my audience and work around the special housing category?
I can't find any of my competitors ads though. I can only find their ad in the ad library and this option isn't available. I must not be in their market, but I want to see their ads show up
Hey Ben, great vid always! Quick Q - I'm selling high-priced items on my site and only sell a handful a week. I'm using CBO, so when you say 'pause the worst performers', does this mean pausing the ones that FB gave the least budget to (as opposed to any other metric)? Sometimes I'll have a sale or two from one ad/ad set even though FB gives another ad/ad set with no sales much more budget...
Thanks a lot :) Great question. I classify the worst performers by using cost per conversion only. If Facebook hasn't given something much budget I will give it more time. At some point it will get enough budget for you to be able to make the call on whether it produces a quality cost per conversion.
@@BenHeath Hey ben, follow up question: wouldn't it be smarter to have ABO for prospecting campaigns to give all ad sets an equal chance to perform and then cut and scale as we see fit? But definitely CBO for retargeting, omnipresence etc
It depends if you are willing to sacrifice short term performance to have greater certainty over the best performing options. With CBO you usually still get the answers as to which options perform best - but you don't spend as much on the underperforming options.
Thanks Ben, now just to complicate matters further, I'm getting under 10x conversions per week, so am using the 'add to cart' conversion objective...should I base the cost per conversion off this or the cost per purchase? I'm getting plenty of added to carts, which is at least a decent sample size/has more statistical significance
You'll have to wait until you have more video viewers I'm afraid. You need 100+ that have watched 95% or more in that case. You could also try dropping the percentage of video watched.
Lovely insight, thanks Ben. Question - do you have to wait for the ad to appear in your timeline to view the 'Why am I...' section? Or can you find it within FB somehow? Keep up the good work!
you can get your competitors ad in your news feed just after doing similar products on facebook for 1 or 2 days and start doing ATC and will definitely gonna get these ads in your feed, PLAY WITH SYSTEM !
Hi Ben, Thanks for the video! Do you know a way to differentiate between the level of interest that a person has? For example person A might follow few dog pages and dog product brands but person B was just browsing a dog website 10mins ago looking to buy dog products. They both have 'Dog product interests' but how can you really target person B who is a much better prospect? Thank you
Good question. You can't work that out as an advertiser but Facebook is very much aware of that. As a result they will deliver ads to the person that is in the market first. If you pick a random niche and browse a few websites then head back to Facebook or Instagram you'll see that happen really quickly.
Hi ben thankyou for the video 🙂 never knew i can stalk my competitor through such a simple process but i have a question my competitor is trying to reach out people aged from 25 and older does this mean they are only targeting with age without including any interest or behaviour ? because in most of the cases from my few competitor i can only see that they are trying to reach out only through age 🤔 please let me know this might be a big help thanks once again
You are very welcome. Yes that's right - if you can't see any detailed targeting or info about lookalike or custom audiences then they are most likely using open targeting with age parameters set. Hope that helps :)
Funny thing, I can't see this nearly as detailed in Europe (or Denmark). I see age and and primary location Denmark and otherwise FB just tells me: "Your personalised ads may be based on other advertiser choices, your profile and activities - such as websites that you visit and ads that you interact with - as well as other information not listed here." then it just shows me generally about targeting on Facebook

Do I have to like the pages or just go to the pages and spend time looking at pictures and videos?

The Ads library is also a great option
Yes Facebook's ads library will show you people's ads but not their targeting options. Using both techniques is part of our research process
So helpful!!!
Glad you think so :)
Are you able to do this from fb ad library? or is there a way to get the ad from ad library to your feed?
You aren't I'm afraid. The ad library is very useful for seeing the ads but not for working out targeting.
Hey Ben, any advice on how to target audiences when it comes to Housing and other types of business which require category declaration, as FB dramatically limits detailed targeting for those? Thanks for the amazing content you provide btw 😊👌
Most of the time you just have to go with broad targeting - I'm planning to release a video on this at some point soon though.
imo just target broad or you can target specific audience then also run a broad ad set then see if which one is effective
Is there a way to advertise to users that click on a competitor's website? Via Google ads?
Amazing! Thank you! Any way to find the same info through FB Ad Library when we don't receive a competitor's ad in our feed?
Thanks Lisa. There isn't I'm afraid. We usually use this method in conjunction with Ads Library for competitor research.

Hi Ben,
How to choose people who interacted with my pervious fb page , and who watched my videos
Thanks
Hi Ahmed, you will need to add that page to your BM and then create a custom audience from those people in your ad account
Funny thing, I can't see this nearly as detailed in Europe (or Denmark).

It works in Denmark also. I think it maybe could be due to the advertisers going broad without any specific interests.
How can I make my competitor’s page (sponsored) appear on my news feed?
Go to your competitors websites and click on a few products. You’ll see ads in a few minutes on fb.
Thanks Ben, great value! How can i make this work if i'm not a target for my competitors? Different interests & country.
how come the "goal" is totally different when you're creating ad using mobile phone?
I don't do anything Facebook Ads Manager related on a mobile. I'd recommend using your computer.
