Tracking the performance of your campaigns is crucial: it allows you to control your ad spend, but also to continuously improve your Facebook advertising device. So how do you do it?
First of all, here is a prerequisite: if you launch campaigns that aim to bring traffic to your website, don't forget to install the Facebook pixel, which allows you to track the actions of your audience after they have been exposed or clicked on your ads.
Then, you need to associate the right key performance metrics (KPI) to each campaign goal you had defined beforehand:
Also be sure to always measure the ROI of your campaigns, taking into account the total cost of your campaigns.
Do not hesitate to use Facebook's brand lift feature to make sure your ads are relevant. The idea is simple: your ads are served to an audience that you define, and this audience is then asked about things like ad recall, brand awareness and message association.
It’s a great way of knowing if your ads attracted your audience’s attention!
