Pluses and Minuses of Advertising on Social Media and Facebook

Pro: Facebook's Advantage Over Search Engines: No Search Needed

The primary benefit Facebook offers In Hastings On Hudson is its capability to get to prospects that are not proactively looking for what you offer. This does not necessarily mean they will not be interested. It simply means they aren't actively performing a search when they view your advertisement. However, they probably were hoping to find something such as what you offer quite recently.

The search engines are limited to individuals in fact searching. A person may be considering an attorney, but if they aren't performing a search for one, those marketing in Google Adwords do not appear in front of that prospect.

Pro: Facebook is Wonderful for Getting to Local Markets

• Are you an attorney? Physician? Home repair business? A restaurant or merchant?
• For any business who does business regionally In Hastings On Hudson Facebook is a great method to reach your target audience.
• We can focus on your prospects in numerous ways.
• Only wish to reach women 35-65 in a couple of zip codes? Not an issue!
• Want to have a special offer on Mondays? We are able to do that.

The appeal of Facebook is the capacity to target. You can run a small marketing campaign that behaves in huge ways, simply by concentrating on the right prospects, in the right market, with the right message.

In general, Facebook advertising is less pricey than Google and the other engines and reaches a different group of people than SEO on Long Island. They cost less per click. If you are opting to pay per ad impression (spending money on advertisements to be shown, rather than paying for clicks), that is likely to come in less expensive as well.

However, in our experience, clicks from Facebook vs. Google tend to be of a lower quality. It isn't that there is a problem with Facebook. Rather, the user is in a different state of mind.

Users from Google just performed a search (for example "personal injury attorneys in XYZ"). It is clear what they need, and they're browsing because they have a real need. They tend to convert from surfer to qualified prospect at a greater rate, since they have a need that they need to satisfy (finding legal help).

In contrast, an ad on Facebook might capture someone's attention. They may or may not be proactively shopping for an attorney, but still have the need.

For these reasons, Facebook visitors often convert at a lower rate than search engine visitors... which is OK for the reasons you will learn about next.

Whether Facebook is a "good deal" for your marketing budget really will depend on the numbers.

Suppose Google clicks are $12 and Facebook actions are $1. Which of these is superior? It depends.

• If 5% of Google actions convert, that's $200+ for a new customer.
• If 1% of Facebook actions convert, that's $100 for a new customer - great!
• But of only 0.2% of Facebook actions convert, that's $500+ for a new customer - ouch!

The point is... there isn't any "right answer." It will depend on your marketing campaign, your offer, and how the market reacts to you. The "correct answer" is to test, adjust, and test yet again.
