When setting up a Facebook ad campaign, the first thing you will be prompted to do is to choose your Campaign Objective. And why is this? Because above all, Facebook wants to know what you wish to achieve through advertising. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Facebook Ad Objectives<\/a> define the actions you, as an advertiser, want people to take after they see your ad. For example, if your advertising objective is engagement, you literally tell Facebook that you expect people to engage with your ad, while if your objective is conversions, you let Facebook know that the ad is intended to generate sales or leads.

Depending on what objective you choose, your ad\u2019s delivery optimization options<\/strong> and ad formats<\/strong> will change accordingly. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As of now, Facebook offers 11 objectives. They are not created equal and are categorized according to the stages in the buyer journey. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, before you even go about choosing your objective, you should consider your business goals. Here are 3 broad business goals or stages in the buyer journey that advertising objectives fall under:
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Awareness<\/strong> – objectives that spread the word about your business or brand, create interest among people, and attract them to your business. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consideration <\/strong>– objectives that get people to take an interest in your product or service and prompt them to find more information about it. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conversion <\/strong>– <\/strong>objectives that encourage the interested people to buy or use your product or service. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below you\u2019ll find all the objectives categorized by Awareness, Consideration and Conversion business goals, what each one is meant for and what optimization options and ad formats are available for each objective. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    When to use the Brand Awareness objective? <\/strong>The brand awareness Facebook ad objective is ideal when you want to introduce your brand to a broad audience, inform them and keep your brand in the forefront of people\u2019s attention. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    You don\u2019t expect people to engage with your brand or take any action. Facebook will show your ads to people who are more likely to recall your brand if they are asked about it within two days of seeing your ad. This objective works better for big brands who want to make a name for themselves, so you\u2019ll need broad audiences and a big budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
