Website traffic

This might be your goal if your organisation wants to:

  • People to learn more about your organisation and programmes
  • Constituents or supporters to learn more about your services
  • Supporters and potential voters to learn more about your stance on issues as a candidate
  • To communicate more information than can reasonably fit within a post or ad

How to set up your campaign:

1. Go to Ads Manager and click the green Create button.

2. Choose the traffic objective

3. Special ad categories: Select Social issues, elections or politics if your ad falls into one of these categories.

4. Set your budget and schedule. Make sure that you choose the highest volume for your bidding and select the right type of budget (e.g. daily vs lifetime) for your campaign.

5. Select the website conversion location

6. Set your performance goal to maximise number of link clicks or landing page views, if you have the pixel set up.

7. Define your audience with broad targeting using as few filters as possible.

Here are some of the audiences you have available:

  • Core

  • Custom

  • Lookalike

8. Select Advantage+ placements

9. Develop your ad creative, using a mix of video and static images.

10. Edit your ad copy, publish and you've finished!
