Recently one of my clients requested information about Facebook Marketing Tools, which I thought may be useful to share. Several of these tools are free or offer free trials, so you can try them to find out what’s going to work best for your brand.

It's important to note that each tool below has advantages and disadvantages and therefore, the one that is best for you will depend on your primary goals and personal preferences.

1. Facebook Power Editor
   The folks at Facebook designed this free marketing tool specifically for sophisticated advertisers who are managing multiple campaigns and ads. If you’re frustrated with the limitations of the standard Facebook Ads interface, this is for you!
   
   With Power Editor, you can quickly build and duplicate campaigns, ad sets and ads. It allows you to edit all of your ad sets within the same window, making it easy to adjust granular details like copy variations, placement targeting and conversion tracking. Once you’ve created all of your campaigns, you can set them live at the same time and they’re typically approved within minutes. All in all, this is a seamless process that helps you get multiple new Facebook ads into production way more efficiently than you can in Ad Manager.
   
   
2. Headline Analyzer
   Marketers know that a post’s headline can make or break its performance. We take painstaking efforts to create eye-catching, compelling headlines for blog posts and ad copy, and would be crazy not to do the same for Facebook shares! The problem is, it can be tough to predict what headlines will work best for your audience—that’s where Coschedule’s Headline Analyzer comes in handy.
   
   Once you’ve brainstormed a potential headline, plug it into this tool. It’ll spit out an overall score for your headline, along with a detailed assessment of its structure, character count, sentiment and previews of what it would look like in email subject lines and ad copy. Perhaps the most valuable aspect of this tool is the link provided in each section that offers tips, examples and case studies.
   
   If you’re not a natural wordsmith, this is the Facebook tool for you. It teaches you everything you need to know to craft headlines like the best of the content marketers!

5. Google Analytics is mainly a tool to track web traffic, but if you aren’t using it in conjunction with your Facebook marketing campaign, you’re missing out.

It’s perfect for uncovering your true ROI and determining the effectiveness of your website layout.
