What is a Facebook Ads Funnel?
A Facebook Ads Funnel is a step-by-step process that takes a cold audience (people who’ve never heard of you) and moves them towards becoming clients.
- Instead of expecting someone to “book now” after seeing one ad, you nurture them through a journey of awareness, interest, and action.

For one of our medspa clients, we built a 3-stage funnel that generated:
Goal: Get on their radar.
Best Ad Types:
- Engaging video explaining a problem your audience has
- Educational carousel posts
- “Soft offers” (e.g., free consultation, tips guide)
- Lookalike Audiences (based on past clients)
- Local targeting by ZIP code
- Interests related to your services
Goal: Re-engage people who interacted with TOF ads but didn’t convert.
Best Ad Types:
- Retargeting ads with testimonials or case studies
- Limited-time service offers
- Lead forms offering a discount or bonus for booking now
- Retarget video views (25%+), page visitors, and IG engagers
- Exclude people who already booked
Goal: Get the booking.
Best Ad Types:
- Direct-response ads with strong CTAs (Book Now, Claim Offer)
- Ads emphasizing scarcity (limited slots this week)
- WhatsApp or Messenger click-to-chat ads for fast booking
- Warm leads who clicked links, engaged, but didn’t complete booking
- Abandoned lead forms
- Landing Pages — Never send BOF traffic to a homepage. Use service-specific landing pages with a clear offer.
- CRM Integration — Capture leads into your CRM for follow-up sequences.
- Automated Follow-Ups — SMS, email, WhatsApp reminders to push leads towards booking.
- Pixel Tracking — Set up conversion events to optimize campaigns effectively.
- Expecting cold audiences to “Book Now”
- Sending paid traffic to Instagram profiles
- Not retargeting video viewers or website visitors
- Ignoring follow-up automation (no SMS/email sequences)
- Not having a structured offer ladder (TOF → MOF → BOF)
For one of our medspa clients, we built a 3-stage funnel that generated:
- 600+ monthly new clients
- CPL under $4
- 24% landing page conversion rate
- Automated reactivation flows that brought back past clients without manual outreach
