Of all the social media platforms, Facebook is the one that often gets touted as a decreasing way for people to connect. But a closer look at the reach of Facebook shows otherwise, proving that this way of connecting continues to retain and grow its reach—particularly when it comes to creating custom audiences.
Current estimates place the number of advertisers at about 2 million. That’s 2 million different companies competing for people and clicks and sales. The Facebook activity of current users may also point to the number of reasons why marketers increasingly turn to this social media platform. The click-through rate on Facebook campaigns shows phenomenal growth—over 266 percent—particularly when it comes to videos. Photos come in second.
In addition, one-third of Facebook advertising budgets are now focused on video. Those statistics show the power and potential for advertisers to target their campaigns based on browsing history and habits, which is essential to creating a custom audience.
In order to do that, though, it’s important to understand the metrics that you can use from Facebook.
Those include:
- Figuring out who your website traffic visitors really are
- When they’ve visited
- Where they visited from
These audience insights can help you to understand how your Facebook audience is connected to you and what their demographics are, as well as their activity both on Facebook and the Internet.

As you can see, when you advertise to Facebook custom audiences, you're not just blindly throwing money at Facebook Ads by advertising to people who aren't familiar with your brand, hoping that someone will click your ad and make a purchase.
Instead, you're advertising to people who have expressed an interest at one time, which should help to improve your overall conversions and help you attract the right people to check out your content or your products.
