Facebook Advertising Objective: Clicks to Website

facebook-advertising-objective-clicks-to-website1

 

One of the many benefits of Facebook for businesses is the selection of objectives available for you to outline and achieve your advertising goals. If you want people to search for more information about your business, then you should choose “clicks to website” as your Facebook advertising objective. This is a practice well-known by the top Facebook ad agencies.

With this objective, you can direct customers to your website and encourage them to explore your content, familiarize themselves with your brand, and hopefully convert. Clicks-to-website ads typically include the following call-to-actions:

  • Book Now
  • Contact Us
  • Download
  • Learn More
  • Shop Now
  • Sign Up
  • Watch More
  • Apply Now

Like all other ad types on Facebook, clicks-to-website objective ads are not available for brands with prohibited items to sell on Facebook, so double-check that your ads will qualify. Additionally, clicks-to-website ads, as the name implies, are only useful for businesses that have a site of their own to direct traffic to. In other words, if you’re selling on Facebook Marketplace and not your own online store, these ads won’t be useful to you.

Which platforms support the clicks-to-website objective?

You can serve all click-to-website ads on Facebook (mobile, desktop, newsfeed, and right column) and Instagram’s platforms. When creating an ad in Ads Manager, you can choose where you want to serve your ads in the “Placements” section.

Which ad formats can I use with the clicks-to-website objective?

An ad with a click-to-website objective is eligible for the video, carousel, photo, canvas, and slideshow format. You can choose your format in the “Format” section when creating the ad.
