Defining Your Campaign’s Objective
When you start your social media ad campaign, first of all, you need to clearly define the objectives for your chiropractic marketing. Simply put, you have to communicate to the platform where you are running the ad what you want to achieve with this ad campaign. Defining and setting clear goals can be quite challenging for beginners.
My advice? Stick to two key objectives: conversions or lead generation. If you’ve got a solid funnel or a well-designed website, go for conversions. Otherwise, keep it straightforward with lead generation as your main focus.
Setting the Campaign Budget
Once the objective of your campaign is set, the next important step involves setting a budget that helps you chase your goal effectively and efficiently. The meta platforms allow you to choose between a daily budget or a lifetime budget.
For instance, you might set a daily budget of $20, running over 30 days, or you can start smaller with just $5 per day to test the waters. Starting small and gradually scaling up is a wise approach, especially when exploring what works best for your practice.
Opting for a lifetime budget can offer better control over your spending, ensuring your ads are distributed evenly across the campaign duration. Setting a lifetime budget optimizes ad delivery during the hours your audience is most active as well as prevents unnecessary spending of your money during underperforming times.
Understanding Campaigns, Ad Sets, and Ads
Your campaign is the bedrock of your chiropractic marketing that supports your ad sets, and each ad set can have multiple ads. This structure is key for testing and experimenting with different ad variations. For example, you can have multiple lead generation ads with different colors, copy, and graphics to see which ones perform best.
Deciding Placement for Your Ad
The next step involves deciding the placement for your ads i.e., where you want your ads to appear. For instance, on Facebook, you can choose between automatic placement or manual selection. Both have their perks. With automatic placement, Facebook’s algorithm takes the reins, finding the best spots to generate leads and responses. The more freedom you give it, the better it can optimize. Or, you can also manually select the placement of your ads. The best option is to choose to have your ads appear on the feed since the feed tends to get more traction and engagement than other placement options.
Create Lead Generation Form
If your goal is lead generation, crafting an effective lead generation form is crucial. Let’s break down the key components to make sure your form drives results.
Start by selecting the right image. Ideally, you should select the same image that you used in your ad so that your audience can easily connect the dots and be familiar with your practice.
After the image, the next important thing that your audience will see is the copy of your ad. Therefore, it is imperative to use clear, compelling, and crisp copy. While writing the copy, avoid making wild guesses about what would resonate the most with your target audience; rather, opt for a systematic approach that would always guide you to write the best copy. A simple yet effective guide for writing your copy is the AIDA formula. This formula urges you to start your copy with something that captures the attention of your audience, sparks their interest, creates desire, and ultimately makes them take the desired action. By using this formula, you guide your audience through each stage, ultimately winning their confidence and prompting them to take your desired action.
Then comes your offer, which is the hook that draws people in. Make it something irresistible—a free consultation, an eBook, a discounted checkup, or an appealing package. Analyze previous offers that derived results, or create something new and fresh that may be appealing and valuable for your target audience. Nevertheless, your offer should be enticing enough to make your leads see value in it and sign up.
Lastly, you have to create a compelling call to action (CTA). This is your final attempt to motivate your leads to take action. I suggest refraining from using generic CTAs; rather opt for something well-defined and specific. For instance, instead of using “visit our website,” use an action-oriented CTA like “call our office to claim your discount voucher” or “sign up today to secure your discount.” This sort of CTA creates urgency as well as provides your leads with a specific direction as to what to do next.
