Set up a Facebook Ad Campaign in 16 Steps

Facebook ads are paid messages from businesses that are written in their voice and help reach the people who matter most to them. Advertisers create campaigns that have specific goals and they create ads within those campaigns to help them reach those objectives.

Follow these simple steps to commence your first Facebook ad campaign.

1. Create a campaign in Ads Manager.
2. Select the Reach objective.
3. Enter your Campaign Name and click Continue.
4. Set your Audience and location targeting. Adjust the radius around the location with the slider and Choose to include or exclude people who live in or are visiting that area.
5. Select Add Locations in bulk if you are targeting multiple locations for your campaign and don’t want to enter a long list of addresses.
6. Enter any Detailed Targeting that you want.
7. Choose your Placements.

If you select Automatic Placements, your ad delivery will be optimized across Facebook, Instagram and Audience Network.

You can also select Edit Placements to manually choose your own.
