Now, let’s delve into the essential Facebook KPIs that every performance marketer should track:

• Impressions: The number of times your ad is displayed on users’ screens. Impressions are a good indicator of ad reach, but remember, not all impressions translate to engagement.
• Reach: The unique number of users who saw your ad at least once. Reach provides a clearer picture of how many people your campaign is actually impacting.
• Frequency: The average number of times a user sees your ad. While some frequency is necessary for brand recognition, excessive frequency can lead to ad fatigue and user annoyance.
• Click-Through Rate (CTR): The percentage of people who see your ad and click on it. A high CTR indicates your ad is compelling and effectively captures user interest.
• Cost per Click (CPC): The average amount you pay each time someone clicks on your ad. Track CPC alongside CTR to ensure you’re acquiring clicks at a cost that aligns with your budget and ROI goals.
• Link Clicks: The total number of times users click on the link within your ad. Focus on link clicks when driving users to your website or landing page for further action.
• Website Traffic: The total number of website visits generated by your Facebook ad campaign. Use website analytics tools to understand user behavior once they arrive at your site.
• Cost per Acquisition (CPA): The average cost of acquiring a new customer through your Facebook ad campaign. This metric is crucial for understanding the cost-effectiveness of your campaigns in driving conversions.
• Conversion Rate: The percentage of users who see your ad and take a desired action, such as making a purchase or signing up for a newsletter. Track conversion rates to gauge how effectively your ad is driving results.
• Return on Ad Spend (ROAS): The revenue generated for every dollar spent on your Facebook advertising campaign. ROAS provides a clear picture of your campaign’s profitability and helps you assess its overall success.
