Should You Run Ads to Grow Facebook Page Likes or Buy Likes?
This can be a controversial issue among marketers and business owners. One side argues that the fastest way to increase Page likes is simply to buy them in bulk. The other supports running ads: although slower, ads let you reach and control the potential customer audience you want to like your Page.
In this article, Optimus will help you compare the advantages, disadvantages and effects of running like ads versus buying likes for your Page. You can then make a decision that fits your marketing goals and strategy.
Note: This article only covers paid ways to increase likes. It does not discuss investing in content quality to grow likes organically.

I. Facebook Page like ads
1. What are Facebook Page like ads?
Facebook Page like ads are a Facebook ad format designed to reach and attract more users to like your Page.
2. Advantages and disadvantages of running Facebook Page like ads
- Advantages:
Likes from Facebook ads are more likely to come from real user accounts: These people may genuinely care about your content and click to like your Page. They could also become potential customers.
Better reach among your target audience: Advertising lets you define your customer audience based on specific behaviors and interests and run ads to reach people who may be interested in your products or services.
For customers who have liked your Page, you can create a remarketing audience of Page likers and run ad campaigns to these exact people, creating strong sales opportunities.
A business identifies its potential customer audience and runs ads to grow Page likes. As a result, its Page gains a large following, becomes more popular and attracts more potential customers' attention. New followers also engage actively with the Page's content, helping it grow and strengthening Page engagement over the long term.
- Disadvantages: Page likes will not grow as rapidly as when you buy them. To get likes from real customers, you need to optimize your content so users get value from following your Page and decide to like it.
Of course, you will also pay to run ads so your content reaches users. The cost per like can vary depending on the market, products, services and many other factors.
II. Buying Facebook Page likes
1. What does buying Facebook Page likes mean?
Buying Facebook Page likes means quickly purchasing followers (likes) for a Page through services or tools provided by third parties.
By buying likes, a Page gains a large following in a short time, creating an impression of a high follower count and user interest.
2. How like-buying services work
You choose Company A's like-growth service at 2,500,000 VND, with a KPI of adding 15,000 likes to your Page in 24 hours >> After paying for the service, your Page does not need to do anything yet gains the full 15,000 likes specified in the KPI.
3. Advantages and disadvantages of buying Facebook Page likes
- Advantages: The number of Page likes grows quickly, especially for a newly created Page.
- Disadvantages:
Those Page likes may come from fake rather than real users (accounts created solely to like pages), and the number of likes will gradually fall later as Facebook moderates those accounts.
When you want to remarket to your Page's likers and followers, order conversion rates may be low and selling may be difficult. If the accounts liking your Page turn out to be fake, the chances of them making a real purchase are very low.
Buying Page likes may violate Facebook's policies and lead to serious consequences, such as lower sales or restricted Page features.
Overall, buying Page likes is a quick way to increase a Page's follower count at the start. However, it may come with limitations and potential risks that buyers need to understand beforehand.
Like sellers are now gradually improving the quality of their Page-like user packages. However, because Optimus runs ads, we cannot fully vouch for the quality of the users liking Pages through these providers.
