Keep It Tidy

There are 4 Levels to an Ad.

1. The Account - One billing source.  The example I use is that the ad account is like a filing cabinet.

2. The Campaign. The objective of the ad.  You cannot have more than one objective within a campaign.  For example, if your objective is to generate Page Likes, you can't create an ad to send people to your website with the campaign.  Using the filing cabinet analogy, the Campaign is like a drawer in the cabinet.

3. Ad Sets. This is where we manage the budget for our Ads.  It is also where we specific the Audience for our Ads.  The Adset is like a folder found in the drawer of our filing cabinet.

4. Ads.  This is where the creative of the ad is made.  You create the text and image of the Ad for example.  An Ad is like a piece of paper within the folder within the drawer within the filing cabinet.

The URL you’ll be sending them too.
This is your Ad text. You need to sell people on why they should do what you want them to do.
The Link Description stays with the post. If someone shares it for example, your post text won’t travel with it, but the link description will. Make sure you give a short summary of what’s at the destination URL.
The headline will be large and bold, but you should still say something catchy.
The Display Link is an instruction. It’s a message to the people about what action you want them to take. It reinforces your Call to Action (CTA).
Pick an Image. One at a time. You should have access to your Free Stock Images via this option. Don’t forget to reposition to make the photo look right in the feed.
