Facebook Lead Ads vs. Landing Pages: What’s the Difference ?

When running lead generation campaigns, Facebook advertisers have two options: use the conversion campaign objective to send prospects to a dedicated landing page, or use the lead generation objective to convert leads on Facebook. To run effective ad campaigns on Facebook, it’s important to know the differences between these two methods and the results to expect.
Let’s cover the basics of Facebook Lead Ads and landing pages and the benefits to each.

Facebook Lead Ads
Facebook Lead Ads have been around for a couple of years and are not new, though many advertisers are still unsure of how to use them effectively.
Lead Ads can be found in a person’s news feed. When they scroll through, the ad pops up along with a call t action. When the person clicks on the CTA, a form opens up and the person fill, out their information. The info is submitted and the person becomes a lead.
Lead Ads are informative and provide users with:
·         A form to fill out
·         A description of your form
·         Questions to qualify leads
·         Your privacy policy
·         A review option
·         A thank you screen
The benefit to Lead Ads is that the user can convert without leaving Facebook or waiting for a new page to load. It’s fast, easy and streamlined, with just 6-8 touches needed. Not to mention, you get plenty of information to qualify your lead.

Facebook Landing Pages
An alternative to Lead Ads is landing pages. If your campaign goal is to acquire leads, you’ll need to send users to a landing page to fill out a form. Just like Lead Ads, you can ask the same form questions and qualify the lead  using the same information. The difference is that you direct the person to a landing page outside of Facebook.
Generally speaking, physically directing a user off site means longer wait times, more touches and more information. While this may seem to deter people from filling out your form, it can increase the quality of your leads. After all, they are waiting for the page to load and going through more touch points to convert.

Is There a Winner ?
In the end, there is no clear winner between Lead Ad campaigns and landing page campaigns. Lead Ads seem to result in more lead volume, whereas landing pages result in higher quality leads.
It does appear that Lead Ads are underutilized, probably because marketers are used to traditional conversion campaigns. So, if you haven’t given them a try yet, be sure to add Lead Ads to your social media marketing mix. You might be surprised by the results they deliver!

Why developers like to code at night

Why developers like to code at night If you ask most developers when they prefer to work, many will say their most productive hours are at night.  Some like to start in the evening and work till the early hours while others get up super early – say, 4 a.m. – to get most of the programming work done before the daily grind kicks in. This work habit may make many developers seem like oddballs and misfits. However, there are quite a few reasons why so many programmers prefer to work during the odd hours: The maker’s schedule According to Paul Graham, people who “produce stuff” tend to adhere to the maker’s schedule – they prefer to use time in units of a half-day or longer. In fact, most developers have the same preference. For one thing, developers work on large abstract systems and need the mental space to process a model in its entirety. Having their schedules sliced into 15- or 30-minute chunks for emails, meetings, phone calls, and interruptions from co-workers is simply counterpr

When your Google My Business listing becomes your lifeline

-
The recent days and weeks have been a blur as I’ve helped clients manage their online reputations amid a global pandemic that continues to inflict a heavy toll. Oftentimes Google My Business has been in the eye of the storm, with business turning to their GMB listings to notify people of sudden changes ranging from scaled back hours to temporary closures. Here are three truths that have emerged from this experience: 1.Your GMB listing is your lifeline Under normal circumstances, people rely on a GMB listing to get essential information such as store hours and customer reviews to learn more about a business’s location. During the coronavirus pandemic, the nature of those searches changed rapidly as consumer’s behaviour changed. “What are your hours?” became “Are you open while we shelter in place?” “What does your menu look like?” became “Do you offer curbside delivery?” Businesses needed to respond quickly especially in the early going when Google had not yet rolled out special f
