Understanding Facebook Offline Conversions understanding-facebook-offline-conversions

Facebook Lead Ads campaigns generate leads and send them to Marketo for use in marketing campaigns. However, without visibility into offline conversions, the Facebook advertiser can’t know which ads are most effective. Here’s an example.

NOTE
Example
Facebook Lead Ads runs three ads.
  • Ad 1 generates 20 leads
  • Ad 2 generates 30 leads
  • Ad 3 generates 50 leads
Based on these numbers alone, Ad 3 seems the most effective.
However, when looking at data on the Marketo side, a different story develops.
  • Ad 1 generates 10 sales
  • Ad 3 generates 2 sales
That means that Ad 1, despite generating fewer leads, had a 50 percent success rate, while Ad 3 was hardly effective at all.
Without offline conversions, the advertiser would probably invest more money in Ad 3. With offline conversion data, the advertiser will more likely invest in Ad 1.

You can set up Facebook Offline Conversions to send offline ad performance to Facebook.

  1. Make sure your Facebook LaunchPoint integration is up-to-date.
  2. Map stages in your Revenue Cycle Model to offline conversion stages on Facebook.
  3. When a Facebook Lead is generated from a Facebook Lead Ad and reaches a mapped stage, Marketo sends offline conversion data back to Facebook several times a day via a secure, automated API. The data appears in the Facebook Ads Manager Report.
