Need a fanpage to run Facebook ads
Understanding the 3 popular types of Facebook ads:
– Basic Ads
Basic Facebook ads typically appear in the upper right corner of the desktop interface or under the “Add” section on the mobile interface. This type of ad has a small frame, including a headline (up to 25 characters), a description line (90 characters), and a cover image (100×72 pixels).
Businesses often choose basic ads to showcase product images to attract clicks to their Landing Page. Therefore, the images selected for advertising are usually very eye-catching and appealing.

– Sponsored Ads
Sponsored ads can appear in a small corner like basic ads but can also appear as a post in the Facebook news feed. This type of ad is similar to a fanpage post but is shown to more accounts by Facebook. To differentiate, the post will have the label “Sponsored”.

– Suggested Ads
As the name suggests, these ads are recommendations from Facebook and only appear in the viewer’s news feed. Typically, when you like a fanpage or watch a video on Facebook Watch, Facebook will suggest similar channels for you to follow. Suggested Facebook ads work on the same principle, but you pay Facebook to recommend your page to more people.
