Creating those winning Facebook ads that are eye-stopping and effective is not just concerned with the image\/video and text used. It also depends on their correct placement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And, to get the best judgment about these placements, you must preview your ads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You ask how? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The answer is – the Tools!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tools have always been a helping hand in Facebook advertising. They help you save time, provide valuable insights, and ultimately improve ad campaign performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One such tool that you must always keep handy is – the Facebook ads preview tool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It helps you create mockups and preview them before actually running your ads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thankfully, Facebook provides free tools that you can easily opt for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Besides, there are third-party tools as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Firstly, let us go through the most widely used free tool provided by Facebook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Earlier, Facebook had a separate tool called Power Editor for previewing your ads, which was later integrated with the Ads Manager.<\/p>\n
Now Facebook ads manager is the single integrated tool to preview your ads.<\/p>\n
Ensure that you have a campaign and adset created, before previewing your ad.<\/p>\n
You can then follow the below steps to preview your unpublished ad in the creation and editing flow:<\/p>\n
Go to your ads Manager<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
Select ads<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
Select create\/edit<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
At the ad level, fill in your ad details ( ad copy and media)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
In the right-hand side column, you will see the ad preview. Click on the ‘See All Previews’,<\/b> or ‘Advanced ad Preview’<\/b> button to preview your ad in various placements supported by the ad format.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
In case you have published your ad and want to preview it, then follow these steps:<\/p>\n
Go to ads manager<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

Click to check the box next to the ad you want to preview.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
Select ‘Preview’<\/b> from the action bar above the main table.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Use the dropdown or arrow keys in the preview window to see your ad across different placements.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n You can place your Facebook ad in multiple placements like :<\/p>\n Newsfeed,<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Mobile,<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Stories,<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Reel,<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Search,<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Messages,<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Instagram<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Apps and sites<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Previewing your ad will show the results in these placements.<\/p>\n However, for some of the placements, you may not see any preview.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n Depending on the objectives you use, some placement previews are not available.<\/p>\n For example: If your campaign objective is to get more WhatsApp messages, you can’t preview Desktop News Feed.<\/p>\n As your objectives change, so do the previews.<\/p>\n When you select all previews, you get to see the ones available for smartphones as well. <\/p>\n But they may not give you the exact look and feel as on the smartphone. So, it is advisable to check the previews on the actual device.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n Previewing your ad on a smartphone is essential when the ad is designed keeping in mind smartphone users.<\/p>\n Follow these steps to preview your ad:<\/p>\n Select your Facebook ad, inside your Ads Manager.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Edit your ad, by selecting the more option (the three dots in a row button).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Select Preview and choose, send a notification to Facebook.
