Facebooks newest ad format “Local Ads” are a great way to reach people when they’re near your business, whether that means walking distance or a few miles. But there is one big problem. The ads are not measurable. Facebook cannot provide ROI numbers. So how does a business know if the ads are working to grow revenues? How do you calculate the Life Time Value of customers who are acquired because of Facebook Ads?

We released a Local Ads app on Clover to solve this problem, and can now prove that your Facebook ad campaign really makes people walk into your store and buy stuff. We do this by analyzing purchasing patterns and matching them to your Facebook advertising. You will know if your Facebook ad spend is bringing you valuable customers. It is simple to get started. Connect your Facebook page to our app and create ads in our app. It is very simple – set a budget, choose a photo and then create an engaging offer for the people in your area. We will push the ad to Facebook, and provide the coupon tracking code for Facebook to distribute to customers in your neighborhood. And, we do the rest to prove (or disprove) if the ads are working.
