With this transition from visitor to lead, each user gives you valuable data that you can use to align your subsequent workflows.
Facebook Lead Ads skip all intermediate steps and forward the reader directly from a Facebook ad to a form. In this way, the workflows can be started faster and customers can be won.
But what are Facebook Lead Ads?
Facebook Lead Ads are a form of paid advertising on Facebook. By clicking on the offer, users immediately see a form with which they can use the offer. The following content can be offered, for example:
- request for further information
- Sign up for your company’s newsletter
- Download a white paper
- Arranging a personal appointment
The form is already filled out with the user’s personal data that he has shared with Facebook, such as name or email address. However, the pre-filled data can also be changed if the user so wishes. The feature makes input easier and faster. The reader is additionally motivated by the fact that it is easier to fill out and send off the form.
What is the potential of the ads?
Users are spending more and more time with their mobile devices, the smartphone is the most popular device for surfing. That is why the Facebook Lead Ads are also optimized for mobile devices. This allows the ads to be used from any location and increases the likelihood that users will fill out the forms and become leads.
With Facebook Leads Ads you can not only use the reach of Facebook, but also that of Instagram to attract new leads.
In addition, you can use the target group selection with the ads to reach exactly those users who match your persona and from whom you expect an interest in your company or your offer. This allows you to generate qualified leads directly.
The forms can be individually designed so that you can request specific information that is important to you. In this way you increase the attractiveness of the form for the user.
As soon as the lead is generated, it can be qualified using its data and assigned to existing workflows.
