Can An Online Marketing Firm Focus On Facebook & Its Possible Ad Changes?

By Robert Sutter


To say that social media has shifted in order to become more centered on ads, as opposed to anything else, would be putting it mildly. Facebook, for instance, seems to have certain ads that are curated for the purpose of appealing to those who have peculiar interests. Is it possible, though, that Facebook is going to change so that it starts to look like the ads that one might be able to find on Google? Here are some points that an online marketing firm will be able to bring your attention towards.

Mashable posted an article about a new piece of technology developed by Kenshoo Social, an ad tech company partnered with Facebook. The technology in question, though in its beta stage, entails a new way for ads to be curated. Basically, it would be able to determine the sites that you click on through various search engines, Google and Bing included. This is where keywords can be looked into. As a result, more fitting ads can be brought to anyone's attention.

For those who are lost as to what exactly this means, take this example into consideration. What if you go onto Bing and decide to search for "televisions" before clicking on an online retailer that specializes in entertainment? When you log onto Facebook again, there is a good chance that there will be ads featuring websites that you will be able to buy TVs from. When you go about searches on Bing, or any search engine for that matter, advertisements on Facebook will be tailored to them.

Even though companies were previously able to target consumers based on their most visited websites and interests listed on social media, any online marketing firm can see that Kenshoo Social's approach is more keyword-oriented. To say that keywords are crucial would be an understatement and firms like fishbat would be able to agree. The ability to pick up on keywords utilized was not available for those in marketing, as the article made mention of. What this means is that advertising can become that much broader.

Is it possible that this method can be used in order to help consumers in the long term? I believe it to be true, especially when consumers now have the opportunity to be presented with fewer ads that are irrelevant to them and more that actually speak out to their interests. For reasons like these, marketers should make it a point to incorporate this sort of technology in the long term. If this product is utilized in the proper way, I have no doubt that both companies and consumers will benefit.
