Paid Social in the UK

16 articles in Paid Social.

Paid social means advertising on platforms where people scroll rather than search, such as Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn. You choose who sees the ad, so it can create demand before anyone has typed a query. For small businesses it works well when the offer is clear, the creative is real and follow-up is quick.

Common questions

When does paid social make sense for a small business? expand_more
It makes sense when your service is easy to show or explain, or when you want to reach people before they search. It also supports repeat work and seasonal offers. Pair it with search ads if your customers often need help urgently.
How do I stop my ads annoying people? expand_more
Cap how often the same person sees your ads, exclude people who have already booked and rotate your creative. Build audiences from recent visitors, not from everyone who ever clicked. Watch comments for early signs of irritation.
Which social platform should I use? expand_more
Choose by where your buyers spend time and what they are doing there. Facebook and Instagram suit local consumer services, while LinkedIn suits business buyers with longer sales cycles. Start with one, learn from the results and then expand.
