  Facebook is a leader on Social Media Platforms as far as user engagement is concerned. Even if there is a decrease in organic reach for businesses due to huge user engagement on the internet, Facebook Ads not only help you a lot to increase your brand awareness but also to increase traffic with lead generations and get conversions eventually with more relevance.
