  2. Preview your ad to see how it will appear to your target audience.

  3. Once you are satisfied, click on the "Confirm" or "Launch" button to start your Facebook ad campaign.

Step 6: Monitor and Optimize Your Campaign

  1. Regularly check the performance of your ad campaign through Facebook Ads Manager. Analyze metrics such as reach, impressions, click-through rates, and conversions.

  3. Experiment with different ad formats, placements, and messaging to find the winning combination that generates the best results.
