Looking at the above criteria will allow basic guidelines for you to improve your landing page and ad to increase conversion significantly. And, viola! As long as you’ve followed best practices for setting up a Facebook ad and have chosen the best possible audience that your landing page ad will be shown to, you’ll be rolling in the conversions.
