Instead of promoting your ad to random Facebook users, you should go for the ones who are interested in the types of products or services offered by you. You can segment your audience by age, gender, demographics, geographic location, etc. This will make targeting much more easy for you.

4. Use conversion tracking to see the results of ads:
Like any other marketing tool, Facebook advertising is measured by the ROI earned. That’s why you need results from every single ad running. Usually Facebook doesn’t track the conversions, but you can use tracking software to measure results.
