This level of professionalism and keen attention to detail will set you apart from others, impress your clients, and land you more contracts.

What is a Facebook Ads Strategy Proposal?

In a nutshell, a Facebook Ads strategy proposal is a pitch that lays out the different steps, methods, and details you plan on using to manage a client’s Facebook ad campaigns. This seeks to provide the client with a clear picture of what you intend to do and how you plan to achieve success.

Resources/Tools & Set up

• You will need access to our SOP library to perform the necessary steps.

Creating Facebook Ads Campaign Funnels

In an ideal scenario, your client should already have a Facebook funnel set up to help inform your ad campaigns. However, just in case he doesn’t have one yet, this means that the first step in the SOP is to lay out the funnel yourself.

We have a separate SOP that teaches you how to design a Facebook funnel to plan Facebook Ads campaigns.

Here is the link to the SOP.

Creating a Facebook Ads Account Structure

Once you have determined your Facebook funnel, the next step is to create a structure for your Facebook Ad account. This is also a crucial part of making a Facebook Ads strategy proposal. It seeks to help you map out your campaigns, ad sets, and ads.

We also have a separate SOP for this step.

Here is the link to the SOP.

Planning the Proposal

Once you have finished laying out the funnel and the ad account structure, you can then use this information to formulate your plan. In addition, you should also define the following elements of a Facebook Ads strategy proposal:

• The goals that your client wants to achieve in his Facebook ad campaigns

• The pain points that your client is currently experiencing

• The scope and limit of the work that you’re planning to do for the client are broken down into steps

• The project timeline

• The project budget

The Facebook Ads Strategy Proposal Template

Now that you have the different parts required to create a Facebook Ads strategy proposal, it’s time to put those elements together. We highly recommend using Google Docs to create your proposal. However, feel free to use other suitable platforms as well. You may follow the template below:

• The Title Page. This should contain the title “Facebook Ads Strategy Proposal”. You may then place the project name as the subtitle (if applicable). Don’t forget to indicate your name, company, business address, contact information, and website as well as the client’s name, company, business address, contact information, and website.

• The Cover Letter. The second page will contain the cover letter. It should say something like:

Dear (insert client’s name),

We appreciate your interest in our Facebook Ads marketing services for your company (insert client’s company). We can’t wait to start working with you!

You will be pleased to learn that (insert your company’s best achievements in Facebook marketing).

• The Overview. The next part of your proposal should clearly define what your objectives are and concisely summarize the steps and methods that you plan to do.

• The Challenges. Mention the different pain points that you have uncovered in your research and planning earlier. You may also explain how these issues arose and the potential issues that they can further cause in the future if they’re not immediately addressed.

• The Goals. Enumerate the different solutions you can offer the client. We recommend that these goals or objectives follow the S.M.A.R.T. format. This means that they should be specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and timely.

• The Scope and Limits of Work. This section should explain the different aspects that your services will cover.

For instance, will your team provide the content, graphics, and other visual elements needed for the ad campaigns? Or will the client be in charge of them instead? This is also a good place to mention any disclaimers, ad spend limits, and other terms that may impact the expectations of your client.

• The Timeline. We recommend creating detailed time tables that will define the different steps involved in your strategy, their detailed description, estimated durations, and deadlines.

• The Budget. Create a detailed table to show the breakdown of your proposed budget as well.

• What’s Next? This section is your call-to-action. This should indicate the next steps that your client should take to put this plan into action.

For instance, do you want them to contact you? If so, then you should indicate the right channels that you wish them to use. On the other hand, if you’re going to contact them, then indicate how long you’re giving them to review the proposal before you reach out to them again.
