Umm 125 dollars for reaching 470 people? They have to be joking right?

Best answer
I have to assume your location made your audience size way too small. You also spent $21. 45, not $125. Still not good, but given the audience size that’s the most they could squeeze out of your budget. Stop boosting like this and enlist some help

There has to be something wrong with your ad. Did you start with 5 dollars per day? Its best to grow slow and scale up, and not going full force from start. Also, ad test different audiences and see which brings you lowest conversion. Test split identical ads where you just change the image, same copy and see what facebook prefers. Then attach to that image, and test again different ads with everything identical except the headline. Once you found The Ad, search for the audience. Use demographics insight of the last ads and see what gender/age converted and aim for them Ps. Always use behavior "engaged shopper" if you want to aim for people with compulsive buyer behavior

Oh also the campaign objective! Thats very important. I always use pixel conversion objective. Those are the best cause you build your audience over time

This is a full on rookie ad The boosting feature here isn’t the biggest issue. Your whole ad set up is - firstly the audience seems to be one location (don’t know how small but seems to be micro judging by the reach maybe 1/2km) then you’ve also got no interests and I’m guessing your ad is full of text or a really bad creative + your ad copy is also most likely poor. + your boost isn’t optimised for reach or engagement it’s optimised for messages. Facebook doesn’t like ads with bad user experience. The reason I suspect all of this is the fact that you didn’t even know how much you actually spent on the ad even though it’s written right there

Good day, I noticed you've actually spent $21. 45 and not $100 as stated. Probably you mixed it up and still that's not a good C. R. I THINK YOU RESTRICTED YOUR GEOGRAPHICAL ZONE TO A RELATIVELY LOW POPULATION WHILE CREATING THE PROMOTION. I'LL RECOMMEND YOU CHOOSE A WIDER RANGE OF POPULATION OR BETTER STILL NOT TO GET YOU CONFUSED YOU LEAVE IT ORGANICALLY TO FACEBOOK TO SELECT FOR YOU. HAVE A GREAT DAY

You spent $21. 45 which is still high unless you are selling insurance or something.
