What’s also very easy is to create an ad – even from within your Page. All you need to do is click on your Page’s profile image to get started. You will need to have a business address that Facebook will recognise for you, a radius that you would like to target, as well as an audience to target. You can include people who either live nearby, or have recently been near your business.

Your audience will be served ads with one of four different call-to-action buttons: Send Message, Call Now, Get Directions and Learn More. Local Awareness Ads are available in the US immediately but have been rolling out to other markets in the last few weeks. Within the next few months, any local business across the globe will be able to use them.
