If I only want to spend $15 total over a week's time and get the maximum number of likes possible for by FB business page, what are the best settings for my ad?

I've seen tons of different answers on WF, but none are consistent. I'm looking for a surefire way to do this.

Currently I'm testing an ad out targeting three niches (all within the religious community.) I capped my spending at $1 a day for 8 days just to get a read on things. I tried to customize my approach to get impressions, but after 6000+ unique impressions, I still had zero new likes.

So I just switched to FB's default option which tries to get as many likes as possible for me using their settings.

If that works, great. But I know many of you are FB ad wizards with better solutions.

    optimize for likes, choose Indonesia, Egypt, Malaysia, Pakistan as locations, choose targeted keywords, optimize your image and text till you find the best image and text. This gets me around 1k likes per$. After you get 10k likes and having found the best ad, you should change your targeting to the one you really want and go either for CPC or com -whatever works for you

      So I shouldn't target U.S. first? Okay, thanks!

        Hi PBMax

        US likes tend to be far more expensive than those from the countries markhimeb mentioned

        It depends what your target audience is. If you simply want to attract traffic from anywhere, go for Indonesia, Egypt, etc. as you should be able to get these likes for less than 1 cent each depending on your niche. If you want US customers, you're probably looking closer to 5 cents up to 20 cents and above

          This is what my ad targets and I'm averaging $.14 per like...
          • who live in one of the countries: Ireland, Malaysia, Pakistan, Israel, Indonesia, Egypt or Iraq
          • who like #God, daily bible devotions, #Christianity, #Religion, #Bible, #Jesus or #Holy Spirit
          • who are not already connected to Bible Actionables
          My FB page is a Bible devotional page, so maybe that's more popular and costs more?

    15$ over a week is not a great budget and i am not talking about money but i am talking about results. You can't test many things so find what is best for you.

    The best thing you can do is create 5 ads for the same thing but different images and descriptions and see which one converts best and keep this as your "winner" and continue full on with it

      I really just wanted to see how fast I could get my 25 likes to change my page URL, but with a limit of $8 with default FB settings to maximize my likes should yield me:

      8 / (.13) = 61 likes over the week

      I like my ad's picture, but you're saying I should create several that will be rotated (I had the option to upload images for this campaign) and see which one converts the best?

          UPDATE from my top performing ad:

          2778 likes and only $2.87 spent so far, and that's four days in.

          That's $.001 per like.
