This way you can target customers on Facebook when they are near your local business.
How Facebook Local Awareness Ads Work
When you are running Facebook local awareness ads and someone is near your business based on the ad targeting demographics you set, when they go on Facebook, they should see the Facebook Ads that you are running.
Right now there are two types of call-to-action buttons you can use to connect your business with your local audience.
Call now
When someone clicks the “call now” button in your Facebook Ad, their mobile device will call your business.
Get directions
If you are using the “get directions” button, when someone clicks this button, it will launch their maps application and direct them to your business.
What’s great about Facebook local awareness ads is that you can set these up in minutes right on your Facebook Page.
