Meta Ads Reference (MBA DM)

Classroom rule: mock plan in Ads Manager unless real spend is approved.

Structure

  1. Campaign — objective (Traffic / Leads / Sales)
  2. Ad set — audience, budget, placements, schedule
  3. Ad — creative + copy + CTA

Audiences

Type Best for
Core Cold reach (demo, location, interests)
Custom Retarget site visitors, engagers, customer lists
Lookalike Scale from best customers / high-quality leads

Geo tip: start tight (Kathmandu + Lalitpur) before “All Nepal.”

Creative checklist

  • Scroll-stopping visual concept described (even if wireframe)
  • Primary text: problem → proof → CTA
  • Headline punchy; CTA specific (“Book repair”, “Get quote”)
  • A/B: one variable (creative or primary text)
  • Policy-safe: no sensational health/finance claims; no personal-attribute copy

WhatsApp (Nepal-friendly)

Optional but encouraged for service SMEs:

  • Landing page button: click-to-chat with pre-filled message, or
  • Instant forms that hand off to WhatsApp for booking

Still keep the sandbox URL for SEO and Week 7 measurement.
