The Facebook Ad Mistake That's Killing Your Business

Want to know the fastest way to burn through your ad budget?

Run Facebook ads like it's 2018...

I see it all the time. Business owners throwing money at Facebook ads thinking they can just "boost" their way to success.

Spoiler alert: It doesn't work that way anymore.

Here's what happened last month. A client comes to me, frustrated as hell. Been running Facebook ads for six months. Spent $15,000. Got maybe three leads total.

"Facebook ads don't work," he tells me. Wrong. Facebook ads work great. His STRATEGY sucked.

Want to know what he was doing wrong?

He was treating Facebook like a billboard. Just showing his ad to everyone and hoping someone would care. That's like shouting at strangers on the street and expecting them to buy from you.

Here's the thing about Facebook ads in 2025: It's all about the funnel.

You can't just blast people with "BUY MY STUFF" ads anymore. The algorithm hates it. Your audience hates it. Your wallet REALLY hates it.

You need to warm people up first.

Show them valuable content. Build trust. THEN ask for the sale.

My client? We completely restructured his approach. Started with value-driven content ads. Built custom audiences. Created a proper funnel.

Results after 30 days? 47 qualified leads. $3,200 in ad spend.

Same budget. Different strategy. Massive difference in results.

The moral of the story? Stop treating Facebook like a megaphone and start treating it like a conversation.

Your bank account will thank you.
