Businesses with Multiple Locations Can Target Users

One of the updates that Facebook made to its local awareness ads is allowing businesses with multiple locations to target users to specific sites. You could set up the ad to automatically change the city name to the city of the user's location. This feature is very convenient for businesses that have multiple locations or serve several areas.

Improves Ad Targeting via Local Insights

Facebook's local insights feature allows businesses to improve ad targeting by providing business owners with important demographic details. Some of the demographic information local insights shares with you is age, gender, and whether or not the user is a resident or tourist. With local insights, you can also target users within a close proximity of your store.

Easier to Reach Out to Your Target Audience

Local awareness ads make it easier for you to reach out to your target audience on Facebook. Not only do they allow you to target users from different locations, but they conveniently offer "call now" and "get directions" buttons for easier conversions. When users only have to tap a button to call you or find directions to your store, they are more likely to visit.
