When creating ads for your page there are two ways you can go about it. Two existing tools used for creation of ads are Power Editor and Facebook ads creator.

This is where Facebook’s ability to separate audience in to different categories is very useful for advertisers. Some of those categories are age, gender, location, education level etc. There are other ways to find the right audience for you as Facebook can create custom audiences based on advertiser’s uploaded information. Additionally you can use custom audiences to create lookalike audiences based on the demographics they share.
