The last and final step to creating the right ad for you is the appearance of your ad. What do you want your ad to look like? Think back to your original objective. Facebook will present you with different designs based on your primary objective so you are not entirely on your own.

Once your ad is up and running the best thing to do is to keep an eye on it using the Facebook Ad Manager and your marketing software. This is the best way to track your ads and find out what works and what may need tweaking in the future.
