Facebook Ad Campaigns for Electricians

Facebook advertising allows you to target audiences that may not have seen your post otherwise, while also increasing brand awareness and product awareness. In addition, Facebook ads are a great driver of micro-conversions, whether for sharing coupons, increasing email sign-ups, or funneling additional traffic to your website.

Facebook campaigns are low-cost to run and can be specifically targeted to the audience that you want to reach. At Blue Corona, our social media specialists develop baseline data to better determine which type of Facebook ads are producing the lowest cost per lead and the highest return on ad spend—allowing you to eliminate ineffective advertising and maximize results for your HVAC company

How Much Do Facebook Ads Cost?

The cost of Facebook ads are typically lower than on Google AdWords or Bing Ads, so if you’re looking for a cost-effective alternative to pay per click, Facebook advertising is a great place to start. There are a few main factors that influence the cost of your ads:

• Ad objective
• Ad format
• Bidding type and amount
• Audience
• Ad quality
• Your industry
• Your ad’s perceived relevance

Only a specially trained paid social media expert will be able to balance all these factors to produce the perfect balance of leads at a reasonable cost.

Facebook Retargeted Ads for Electrical Contractors

Want to know where the money is? Facebook retargeted ads. Retargeted customers are three times more likely to click on an ad than new customers. Why WOULDN’T you retarget ads to them?

You can retarget Facebook ads based on:

• Customer information you have (name, email, etc.)
• Which pages on your website prospects visit
• Which pages they do not visit
• When they visit those pages

Our paid social experts know how to combine remarketing factors to create high-impact lists. For example, we can target people who:

• Visited your website in the past 180 days, but haven’t come back to it in the last 30 days
• Visited your website in the last 24 hours
• Visited certain pages on your website (example: electrical Installations)
• Visited a specific page on your site (example: electrical installations), but not another specific page you wanted them to visit (example: contact us)
