Anyone responsible for managing paid media campaigns.

The Steps:

1. Define Your Campaign Objective:

• Clearly identify the primary goal you want to achieve with your campaign. This will help you choose the most appropriate Facebook objective (e.g., brand awareness, website traffic, conversions).

2. Target Audience Selection:

• Meticulously define the audience segments you want your campaign to reach. Consider demographics, interests, and behaviors to ensure your message resonates with the right people.

3. Plan Your Campaign Structure:

• Map out your campaign structure within your existing Facebook Ads account. This includes identifying campaigns, ad sets, and individual ads, along with the necessary creative assets (images, copy, etc.). Utilize the Facebook Ads Campaign Planner spreadsheet or a similar tool for optimal organization.
• Special Note: If you’ve already completed a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) and have a current Facebook Ads Campaign Planner spreadsheet, use and update that existing document instead of creating a new one.

4. Naming Conventions:

• Utilize the Naming Convention Generator to create clear and consistent names for your campaigns, ad sets, and individual ads.
• Special Note: Update your Facebook Ads Campaign Planner spreadsheet with the generated names for each campaign element.

5. Campaign Implementation in Ads Manager:

• Leverage your Facebook Ads Campaign Planner spreadsheet as a blueprint to build and launch your campaigns within the Facebook Ads Manager platform.
