Update 10/21/2019 The agency addressed the geotargeting earlier this month. In-State ads were using up the entire budget, depriving out-of-state. Minimum/maximum impressions were adjusted and out-of state ads are performing at benchmark, as are in-state,

Conclusions
Facebook ads promoting the Clinical Rehabilitation Counseling program ended their run on November 15, 2019.
The ads targeted adult audiences both in-state and out-of-state. After some initial hurdles with out-of-state ads not running due to budget allocation minimum and maximums, ads during October and the first half of November hit both geo-targets.
The CTR for both audiences averaged 0.4%, slightly below USM’s 0.45% cut-off. It appears the the CTR was stronger during the first month of the campaign.
Because the in-state ads were live for a longer period of time, they drove 60% more traffic to the landing page. Web traffic was consistent throughout the campaign.
