Hi Ben! Thanks for this amazing strategy! Following your example, you created 8 ad sets with the same ad targeting (ideally a dynamic email list) and set a frequency cap of 1 impression/ 4 days. I have 2 questions: 1. What about ad set overlapping? Especially using CBO, your best performing ad sets are more likely to deliver ad impressions than the worse performing ones. 2. How do you make sure people see all your ads consistently? If you start all the ad sets the same day, these are all going to deliver ads today and in 4 days. Do you schedule them to start in different days to alternate which days ads are delivering? Thank you!

[@astronautsareactors9026]

did you start your campaign? I'd also like to know about staggering the ad sets and if thats best to avoid what you said, people seeing all the ads the day you post them. I'm thinking I'll stagger them by scheduling the ad sets to post 1 day apart from each other. I assume Ben meant that?

[@alantuttphotography]

This is essentially the strategy I use with my email list. Deliver value, show that you can help people just like them, then ask for the sale.

[@BenHeath]

Great video as always. You mentioned refreshing ad copy every 3 months if they are being reached once every 5 days with a particular ad. That means they’d see that same ad 18 times in 3 months. Is that too much? Is there a frequency per ad you aim for in an omnipresence campaign? Thoughts appreciated!

hi Ben, first of all thanks a lot. Your videos have been really helping me a lot. I have a small e-commerce business selling Fashion and Home Accessories. Could you please suggest if i should use engaged shoppers in targeting? Is it worth it? If yes then for what type of audience? broad interest audience or warm audience?

[@Matthewpollard]

Great videos mate! In the omnipresent strategy, you suggest awareness and in your old "FB ads for coaches" video you suggest engagement. I love this strategy, as we put out a ton of content. If you did the coaches video again, now years later, would you recommend awareness or engagement? I ask as engagement doesn't offer you the frequency cap like awareness does. We are thinking of doing 10 videos via your omnipresent strategy, to retarget, and 4 via the coaches strategy... then we will make the frequency 1 over 7 days... as that's 14 pieces of content. That's why I ask about the frequency cap on the engagement option. Thanks in advance for your advice.

[@BenHeath]

Thanks Matthew - good question and I would go with awareness now, for the exact reason you gave :)

[@rjanoling3197]

[@tpevehouse]

Is there a difference between doing this as an awareness objective vs engagement?

[@katieblount]

Hi Ben. I am running a conversion ad with 5 different audiences. I want to eventually create a lookalike audience. If I run my 5 ad sets within one campaign and then take that data into a lookalike audience, am I right in thinking that I won't really know which audience is doing better within the lookalike ad? But if I ran the 5 audiences separately and ran separate lookalike audiences, I would be able to collect the data separately and know exactly which lookalike audience was doing better and maybe even better tailor the advert towards each audience? Can you advise which method would be better? Or shed any light on these options? Am I correct in my understanding? Would I need separate custom conversions too? I am selling the same product in each audience. Thanks for your videos they have really helped me!

Hi Ben, this is genius! Thanks so much for the video. What kind of targeting would you use for a wedding videography company? We obviously only sell once to our clients and we don't have a large email list. Would a lookalike audience (1%) of all our past inquiries (and maybe excluding married couples in the interest section) work for an omnipresent content campaign? Thanks in advance!

[@froggyjosh]

Wow, you never got a reply? 😳

[@noraka636]

Golden like always! But how much will it cost to run all those Ad sets? What's your minimum recommendation?

[@BenHeath]

Great question - I’d start with one dollar per day per ad set. If your audience is small you’ll spend less than that. If you have a larger audience you’ll probably want to spend more

[@rahillmb]

Hi Ben. If I'm running ads for a Healthy Multigrain Bar. It is a startup, so the budgets are not very high. So what should be my short term goal and my long term goal? And also when im targeting an audience for such a product, should I layer my audience by narrowing it down? Would be really grateful if you can give me an example of layering an audience. Thanks

[@priyankshah6110]

Hey Ben, first of all the strategy you show is really nice and also I want to know how should I price my marketing services. Let's say that a client wants me to run their ads on Facebook so should I ask them to pay $1000 for my services and $500 for ad spend or should i ask them to pay $1500 and that covers all there cost. Pls reply....

[@BenHeath]

Thanks a lot - I would separate the two costs and make it clear otherwise your clients will always wonder.

[@GishoDinev]

Hey Ben, great stuff! Question - how do you measure the impact of the Reach optimized "omnipresence" campaign? Have you seen a boost in the performance of the other Conversion optimized RMKT campaigns after launching the Reach campaign? Thanks a lot!

[@BenHeath]

Thanks a lot. Yes that and you'll hear people tell you they've seen your ads everywhere.

[@יונתןזוהר]

Hi, ben thanks for the video. which kind of campaign do you suggest using in this long-term strategy? and is look-alike audience of people who purchased is good for this long term campaign? if it is a good audience, what is the size that you recommend? (country campaign, in my country there is about 7M people)

[@BenHeath]

I'd use a reach campaign and stick to a smallish audience. No more than 50,000 people and ideally they would be warm first - like an email list.

[@joelbennett3860]

Your math is incorrect. If, frequency cap is one (1) impression every four (4) days; and the Ad Set has eight (8) ads, then the result is two (2) impressions every four (4) days. That is not "two ads per day". Two (2) impressions every one (1) days is "two ads per day". But Ben - I liked the video and the strategy!

[@BenHeath]

Hi Joel - no you've got the structure wrong. I'm not using 1 ad set with 8 ads in it. I'm using 8 ad sets, with 1 ad in each. That means it's 1 1 impression per ad every 4 days. There are 8 eight ads, therefore you will on average generate 2 impressions each day. You would be right if I had the structure you mentioned, but that's not what I demonstrate here.

[@TonySchober]

Hey Ben, what’s the best real-time way of keeping your FB custom audience up to date with your email list? Just uploading your list doesn’t capture any new subscribers. Thoughts?

[@TonyEdgell]

Ben Heath thanks for a great video again! Why would you use this strategy and pay Facebook advertisement and not email your your customers what you put in the FB Ads?

[@BenHeath]

You are very welcome Tony. Great question and I do both. Email open rates are often small with spam filters, etc. So the majority of your audience won't see your content if you just use email.

[@christiancamilo]

[@HatemOfficial]

Hi Ben, great video.... Can i use this omnipresence strategy as a re-targeting campaign, of course side by side with the re targeting conversion campaign? To increase the number of times my re-targeted audience will see my ad, so the conversion campaign will be more effective????

[@BenHeath]

Yes for sure - in fact that's often how we use it.

[@HatemOfficial]

@@BenHeath Thank you so much, your answer is really very helpful.. Just one question: Which is the best: to use Reach objective or Traffic objective with this omnipresence strategy with my re-targeted audience???

[@totallytorontoart2462]

Does this technique work for selling really targeted wall art - $200 - $700 a pop - Toronto-centric only. If not, what should i be doing to warm that target market up - a Reach campaign. It is very targeted which I believe you said was the right audience for a reach campaign

[@BenHeath]

Just got to this one in the other video - I'd give it a go :)

[@beniaminz]

How do you test the creative in this strategy? Can you have in each adset 4 ads for testing, like you taught in your full funnel strategy? And how do you test the targeting? Do you use CBO?

[@BenHeath]

Great question. We don't test creative in the same way we would with a Direct To Offer campaign. We're usually looking at engagement levels to see how our audience responds to the content. But having every element dialed in is far less important when you are trying to generate tons of exposures over a significant period of time.

[@rosscoe444]

Hi thank you for the great video, I just have one question. You didn't go over daily budget on these?

[@BenHeath]

Thanks Ros. I'd use $1 per day per ad set to start with :)

[@Mr-R.R.]

@@BenHeath interested. Why that low?

[@lukakastelic_]

Hi Ben, thanks for the video. For this particular longterm retargeting campaign - is it better to have really small audience like 5000 people or is it better to have 10000 people or more? What do you recommend?

[@BenHeath]

I think smaller audiences are better. We will often use 10k-50k.

[@lukakastelic_]

@@BenHeath Thanks for your reply.

[@paulnam]

Hey Ben! Love your content! Its been so much help to me in recent months. What do you think about Facebook ad automation software that are available right now? (ie. EXOD.ai) Do you feel these software can replace Facebook advertising agencies as they claim?

[@BenHeath]

Hi Yoon, that's awesome. I haven't got a lot of experience with those but I haven't had great experiences to date.

[@gabrielbouchard8151]

Nice video that brought me another perspective from what I've been taught. Hence, I've got two questions for you: 1. How should we do our A/B testing in this structure? 2. How should we allocate our budget within those 4 different steps? Usually, I was told as a good practice to put it in the campaign level, but in this case would Facebook be enough intelligent to find the perfect fit of the money to spend between those 4 steps?

[@BenHeath]

Hi Gabriel, glad to hear it. 1) You can't really - you can see the difference between ad performance and optimise accordingly with future content though 2) With this strategy you would need to do so at the ad set level.

[@ninovalentino695]

What types of ads aez thes, just reach?

[@emmajones7974]

Hi Ben - is every objective a Reach campaign here? Even the ad sets that have the direct to offer call to action is a reach objective? This is where I'm stuck - I'm doing something similiar, where I'm retargeting ppl that have interacted with my conversion ads within 7 days- then sending them to 'omnipresence' ads, as they're already 'warm'. But I want to optimise for the conversion with this also. Is that possible? Thanks

[@BenHeath]

Yes we will use the reach objective for all the ad sets usually. If you wanted to use conversions or traffic for your call to action ads that wouldn't be the end of the world.

[@Kumar-rq9ro]

Thanks. This helps a lot. Had a query - In reach campaign, the space for primary text 'we recommend 125 characters or less' - will it then accept long form content ? Also, would you give a outbound link of any sort as tendency of people is to click thru?

[@BenHeath]

Hi Kumar, you can include longer text and I would usually include a link yes. Although it depends on your sales funnel.

[@Kumar-rq9ro]

@@BenHeath Thanks. Appreciate it.

[@cityfinances6587]

Is the a sequence for ads? Lets say the audience sees 2nd ad only when audience took an action on 1st ad. Or you launch all ad sets at the same time?

All ads at the same time :) They aren't conditional on people interacting with the first one for example.

[@joshfrye7837]

For this strategy is the any order to which the ads get shown to them? I understand the ads will only get shown by the timeframe you set but it seems to me the ads will be randomly shown?

[@beniaminz]

1. Do you think it is a good idea to have a prospecting campaign with 2-3 video ads and a retargeting omnipresence campaign with 10 video ads. When someone watches one of the prospecting ads, interact, of clicked on the link, they will see the retargeting ads. Or should i use only a omnipresence campaign? 2. Do i need to setup in the omnipresence campaign a custom audiece so everyone will see the other ads in the campaign?

[@BenHeath]

1) Yes but I would use a lead magnet campaign as your prospecting campaign. 2) We'd normally structure it to just target the lead magnet opt ins.

[@beniaminz]

@@BenHeath Why not target the people who dont opt in and only showed interest? Like interactions, clicks and video views?

[@steveniannelli2756]

is there a way to have them see the ads in a particular order using the reach campaign to follow a sequence or is it random only?

[@Mr-R.R.]

I think that's why he's segmenting the adsets. For instance, if you want them to see your intro value ads first, make sure to ad those ads to your more tof adsets (i.e. AN LLA from for website visitors or past purchasers.) You'd then show more testimonial for those that are already familiar with your brand (i.e. actual website visitors and video engagers) and so on. This how you can say least make sure that you are setting up your content to show to the right people because someone who hasn't visited your website, isn't going to be served a super detailed and in-the-know ad compared to someone who has first.

[@alexerre432]

How to avoid overlapping if you have multiple campaigns targeting the same audience and one of them is the omnipresent campaign?

[@BenHeath]

Hi Alex, if one of them is an omnipresence campaign don't worry about it :) The overlapping rules don't apply to those.

[@joerivanpoucke1563]

Hi Ben! What about the quality of the people you reach? I often find that people reached with the "Reach" objective lack in quality (both in terms of traffic and video views). I know that that is not the objective, but when using video - the client would want to know how many people are reaching e.g. 25% or 50%.

[@BenHeath]

That's a very valid concern and that's why I only really like to do this to a warm audience (like an email list) which means you can guarantee their quality to some extent. Or if I'm doing this to a cold audience it will usually be a local cold audience, in which case I'm trying to reach everyone.

[@joerivanpoucke1563]

@@BenHeath Alright, thanks! So let's say that I want to raise awareness around e.g. cyber security, reaching a cold audience of entrepreneurs; I should go with the Brand Awareness objective then?
