How To STEAL Customers From Competitors (with Facebook Ads)

[@BenHeath]

Thanks for watching guys! Let me know what you think in the comments :)

[@A89hilal]

Useless ، Facebook doesn't tell you the real reason why an ad has been shown to you .

[@aaronmcneil3941]

I've been watching all your videos and have been learning a lot. I have a question regarding color block testing for ad copy. There is a company that suggests you do this to make testing faster and cheaper. Will that not annoy people who've been served the ad and/or hurt your ad account?

[@flvflv4712]

hi Ben, you don't have a course on fb ads, it would be if you had one.

[@nissanyoneama]

This is not bullet proof. For some ads it shows the targeting and for some it doesn't. I have received an ad from my own campaign on one of my instagram accounts and it didn't show any targeting, despite the ad indeed having detailed targeting set up.

[@KomuFrank]

I will definitely check it out

[@harshitsoni5]

"why am i seeing this ad" and "searching within facebook for pages and groups related to competitors excluding them". using these two things we can literally get much better in advertising. that was smart.

[@TheMadAfrican1]

This is so useful for us artists and authors. Cause it isn't stealing tor us. It's just sharing.

[@MrCalifornicationSD]

Amazing practical examples. I've seen most of these ads myself, which made watching this video a great experience!

[@BenHeath]

Thank you very much :)

[@LIXIN-o5p]

Wow every time I watch your vids I learn something new

[@nirmalapathirana6401]

wow, I was lucky to watch this video, Thank you Ben

[@BenHeath]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@rajilal001]

This is wonderful video BenHeath..

[@BenHeath]

Thank you so much :)

Wow every time I watch your vids I learn something new. You are the best Ben! 🎉

[@BenHeath]

I appreciate that!

[@bryn711]

The true crime here is that Ben doesn't like music

[@BenHeath]

Hahaha - I do like music but I'm not into as a fan if that makes sense. Put some background music on sure, but I don't care who it is.

[@chrisisonadventures9784]

😂😂😂

[@christopherwilson]

I like the music level Ben keeps, it doesn't distract from the actual message.

[@suha_iqbal]

I'm the same as Ben haha!

[@meribaramidze]

thank youu for always providing important information 💕💕

[@BenHeath]

Happy to help :)

[@anangambarman4606]

Ben dropping them value bombs thanx a ton!!!

[@BenHeath]

Thanks for watching :)

[@tbd5082]

Should I target interest or go broad if I am starting to advertise in a new niche? Thanks 🙏

[@seanmysel5823]

Amazing video! You can also do this with ads on the right side of the screen. If you hover over the ads the three dots will appear and you can check the same info. Also works with refreshing your screen as well. Great job Ben!

[@BenHeath]

Thank you very much :)

[@AmiraCJ]

Thanks for the information... Really useful

[@chitdigital7057]

Great value as usual Ben! Cheers

[@BenHeath]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@davidlandy5310]

Ben, if you are marketing for a local service that is not in your locality, how can you see your competitors' ads if they only advertise locally?

[@BenHeath]

You could use a VPN to change your location

[@adriantan1731]

This is really helpful

[@BenHeath]

Glad to hear it :)

[@EcomTrue]

This video Is literally gold knowledge great way to observe strategies for dropshipping.

[@BenHeath]

Happy to help :)

[@chaimsem]

I find it very interesting how many people are going for very OPEN targeting, and instead doing their targeting on the ad level (ad content).

[@BenHeath]

Yep that is certainly a trend we're seeing.

[@HimanshuSingh088]

Ben, I have learned a lot from your Videos. If its not too much to ask, Can you please make a video on , as an agency how you add clients business manager assets to your business manager to run ads.. Please

[@BenHeath]

Thanks a lot :) Good suggestion

[@halitsanr4439]

Thank you for this valuable content !!!

[@shannonteague8063]

Your videos are awesome!

[@BenHeath]

Glad you think so :)

[@shannonteague8063]

@BenHeath just to let you know, whichever video it was where you said the ads should run for at least a week because some people need to see them at least 4 times. I followed your advice, and on the 7th day, I received my first sale and another again today (the 8th). Thank you so much!

[@johnisaac1246]

Thats huge,i have been checking out how to see my competitors ads in details, finally,Ben you have been helping me so far, But i still have a little question to ask, please 🙏 it will go a long way to help me the more, How do much do you charge your clients for ads management (am a Nigerian)

[@montsergirl]

Am I the only one that doesn’t see the Google ads?

[@youtubemaster4282]

What if my own personal tracking analytics don’t bring me the ads of the niche I’m trying to spy on? How do I find the ads of those companies already targeting my ideal customer avatar?

[@jpna8223]

Hi Ben! Thanks for always providing informational videos. Right now I have my own client and I'm about to run ads for them and get them clients, what are some things I should avoid to totally prevent my account from getting temporarily disabled or permanently banned?

[@BenHeath]

Thanks a lot :) There are tons of things. I’d recommend going through the advertiser policies

[@JayKay-jp6sv]

Flippin' genius! 🙂

[@abidhassan2541]

amazing man

[@shjws888]

What's the best and service to get my ads created? I'm currently using band of ads

[@CR7-r2f2e]

Amazing video i became waiting your videos from week to week my question here i am targeting eurape countries and usa and australia can i combine all these countries in sama adset i ment sama adset contain eurpe countries and usa and australia?? Thank you for every your legend

[@BenHeath]

Thanks for the kind words. I wouldn't include multiple languages in together, but otherwise yes.

[@soumajitmondal5624]

Amazing Content.

[@ahmedallali5327]

Ben bro, thank you for such valuable info... Is there a way to check when your competitors started actually running ads?

[@BenHeath]

Happy to help :) Yes you can in the Facebook Ads library. You can see when an ad was created.

[@deshishopper]

Well Ben. Thanks

[@DarleneKaspian]

Do you work with companies to create adds

[@armaghan2203]

Hey Ben, I want you help!!! I'm running ads for a pressure washing company and my client is asking for just commercial leads. Is it possible to get only commercial leads??

[@BenHeath]

Yeah sure - just state that in the ad copy.

[@armaghan2203]

@@BenHeath it will work with broad targeting as well or I'll have to go for detailed targeting?

[@satpal-singh]

Hi Ben, why shouldn't we be opening our competitors page & look for similar pages/groups only?

[@BenHeath]

If you do that then you are likely to be retargeted. You won’t then see the cold audiences they are targeting when their ads are served to you. Instead you will see that you are part of a retargeting audience.

[@1anchit]

For a local business, I have tried adding using location and then certain interests, as well as broad targetting meaning no interest specified. In both cases, very irrelevant, hopeless and fake people keep msging or clicking on ads. Website traffic also shows 1000s of clicks but on google analytics on wordpress dashboard, theres no such number. And 0 sales of any kind. How do we target rich people. I tried using terms like audi, reebok etc which rich people can afford, but still crowd attracted in india within 10 km radius is bad.

[@BenHeath]

Sounds like you are running the traffic objective? If so, that could be the problem.

[@1anchit]

@@BenHeath thank you for replying. I tried sales objective as well, there were 0 sales in 1 week from the ads. I tried to get richer crowd come to website by putting interests like audi, mercedes, reebok and so on, so that those crowd also come. But again nothing. Facebook likes objective worked. I got some likes from the ads, following your other video. I am unable to understand getting people (new customers).

[@austinb1097]

Reebok is a walmart brand lol

[@GemmaLongman-n4o]

I am seeing "you interacted with ads about baby supplies" and "you interacted with pages and posts about food services" and "you interacted with products related to clothing" - how do i setup these audiences? Thanks

[@BenHeath]

Those are the interests being targeted :)

[@ayoubbonois9359]

why i cant find shown interests ... did meta remove this feature ?

[@Elooxyoutube]

me too

[@chadgtr34]

does it work for french, german, italian region ?

[@BenHeath]

Sure :)

[@LanaSurnina]

Pure gold

[@BenHeath]

Thanks a lot :)

[@imustalkmediatv5618]

Please what app are you using to record

[@BenHeath]

I’m using cameras and it is put together by my editors :)

[@cartersmith8967]

But your competitor's ads wont appear on your page tho

[@adrian.kaczmarek]

Why are my local ads getting a high cpm with broad targeting

[@BenHeath]

What are your CPMs? I'd bet they'd be higher with narrower targeting.

[@nicolaschua7694]

Nice I used to do this when starting out

[@poweradspy]

Nice information. We are Similar

[@th-ji6bc]

But these are ads we see by chance. It's not necessary that I see my competitors ads. How can we find our competitors audience to target other than this strategy (by chave showing in our newsfeed)

[@BenHeath]

Your online activity will dictate what ads you are shown. It's not just chance. Therefore you can visit websites in your niche and those ads will likely pop up. It's not perfect but you'll usually be able to find some useful info if you put in the work.

[@LeoBranco]

AMAZING!

[@BenHeath]

Happy to help :)

[@HimanshuSingh088]

You are a genius

[@BenHeath]

Thanks a lot :)

[@JayKay-jp6sv]

Please, please make a video tutorial to help with setting up FB ads for those, like me, who are struggling/poor fiction authors... 😟

[@degolau8631]

No Brasil não ensinam isso, muito obrigado cara!

[@SarahDigit.]

Perfect

[@debjoydas7834]

You are GOAT

[@JasonCavallaro]

WOW!

[@TheFolkRevival]

I hear you often talk about being the cheapest in many of your videos, isn't that very dependent on what you are selling? If you are selling something very general and not offering anything unique I get your point, but building your business around being the cheapest seems like a bad strategy no?

[@BenHeath]

Yes it does depend what you are selling. The point here is to be better - not necessarily cheaper. If you offer the same level of quality, you can be better by being cheaper. If you want to charge the same price or more than your competitors then you need to offer something better.

[@TheFolkRevival]

@@BenHeath Thank you, makes sense!

[@mohammedAlmaaitah]

i didnt learn how to steal peoples audience

Old trick ?

[@benvideoeditor]

Holy

[@shubhamchavan-zm7nk]

This technique very old

[@BenHeath]

But that doesn't mean it doesn't work... And most of my audience wouldn't have known about it.

[@nithinsharma2766]

Ben you are targeting the entire world with your English so fast even faster than a Rocket, so you lost 75 percent of your customers because they never understood what your Rocket was añd skipped your video as your vedio was a noisy disterbànce for them

[@ODaughterofZionMinistries]

I’m having a big problem right now. Do you know that skammy marketing company that run’s fitness ads? The guy pretending he’s going to jump in the pool and he’s not a fitness instructor he’s the paid model. Well someone has recently done this in my niche. Pretending to be an expert in my niche. Pretending to have done seminars to thousand ms but the pictures they use are photoshopped. The guy is made up. They claim he’s written best sellers etc but when you google him only one crappy ghost written book on Amazon pops up that nobody has purchased. They are running over 150 ads filling up the newsfeed with crap. Also they used some content from one of my ads that has 29k engagements on it to call out my product without naming it and telling people they can have fast results guaranteed. The problem is it’s shoved my ads down and i NEVER guarantee results its impossible to do and the fastest way to go bankrupt. Not only that I really am an expert in my field. I went to university for 8 years and have 21 years of proven experience in what i do and the claims they are making in their ads are false. Not only that they have reviews on the business page and they all say it’s a scam these reviews are recent too. One said she signed up for a free offer and they sold her email and now gets absolutely spammed by 100s of people daily. Another said they bought the course they are selling and it’s not what they claim. The page has hardly any posts like nothing this year at all. They guy doesn’t exist. It’s a money making scam. They use fear and images from google of bran scans and tell people they are doing XYZ and giving themselves bran damage showing fake brain scans to prove their point. It’s disgusting. I have a HUGE following and very good ads and they’ve taken a lot of my content for their ads. Makes me mad so when i see their ads i report them but I don’t know what else to do.
