Facebook is still very much alive, despite what people like to say at conferences. For the right businesses, Facebook ad campaigns remain a solid way to reach people based on what they care about, how they behave, and what they’ve already interacted with.
Broad targeting used to work. It doesn’t anymore. Effective campaigns depend on understanding how users scroll, pause, ignore, or engage. Visuals matter. Copy matters. Placement matters. Sometimes more than budget, honestly.
Meta advertising services give access to detailed data, not vanity numbers. You can see what’s driving action and what’s just burning impressions. That insight is what allows campaigns to evolve instead of going stale.
Retargeting plays a quiet but powerful role here. People rarely convert the first time. Reconnecting with users who already showed interest often brings the best return, even if it feels less flashy.
Social advertising shifts constantly. Algorithms change. Audiences get tired of seeing the same thing. Regular review keeps focused on real engagement, not empty clicks that feel good on a report but go nowhere.
