How to Make Facebook Ads Profitable

"How much do we need to spend on Facebook ads to be profitable?"

‍

This is the number one most common issue I hear brands mention during the sales process.

‍

While you can't guarantee results or predict the future (Zuck's algorithm/platform has a mind of its own), you can use historical data to understand the likelihood of profitability.

‍

At Brighter Click, we've created a paid media profitability calculator to guide this conversation using historical data.

‍

Tl;dr

Use the last 90 or 180-day data to see the current likelihood of profitability.

More importantly, uncover the bottlenecks in the funnel.

‍

➝ If CTR is low and CPM/CPC is high, check the ad frequency. It's likely the ad creative is fatiguing.

➝ Analyze the landing page view percentage; a low figure might indicate a slow load speed.

➝ If CTR is high and the add-to-cart rate is low, the ad creative may not align with the landing page, and/or the landing page messaging needs refinement.

➝ Poor checkout-initiated progression may mean technical issues, a complex checkout process, or a lack of trust signals.

➝ Good ad KPIs and website conversion rate but low ROA? Check the AOV and COGs.
