I've just started using Facebook Ads for my business.

But I'm having doubts. I'm actually feeling quite robbed right now.

Facebook tells me that so far the Ad has 47 website clicks. After checking my Google Analytics data, it is only showing 2 visits coming from Facebook.

For such a difference, either Facebook is telling me incorrect data or Google is telling me incorrect data. I'm leaning towards believing Facebook is telling me lies.

Anyone here has any experience with this? So far, the general consensus from what I've seen online is that most Facebook visits are from robots, which Google doesn't take into account. =/
 
I am a facebook user but I didn't use the facebook ad till now. So sorry I can't tell its use clearly. I will surely try this facebook ad and after that I will help you.
 
Facebook makes it easy to accidentally click on ads, I know using it I'll sometimes accidentally hit an ad, and then close out of it because I'm not interested in whatever they are advertising. Maybe Facebook counts clicks like that while Google doesn't?
