As mentioned above, using Facebook allows you to select your target customers very precisely, and custom targeting allows you to get as much data as possible including non-Facebook users. This means that you can promote your website directly to those customers who have been exposed to your product and are interested, which is far more effective than the kind of aimless promotion.

It should be noted that you must provide the required number so that Facebook can help you target your customers. Facebook’s recommendation is to have at least 100 people, otherwise no matching customers will be found because the scope is too small.

After completing the above steps, you can find the target customer group you need to promote.
