Facebook and Instagram ads in Lucknow
Lucknow loves its food, its chikankari and its traditions, and is growing fast in new areas like Gomti Nagar. Good ads here are warm, polite and local, which suits the city's famous tehzeeb.
Targeting Lucknow the right way
- Old city vs new city: Aminabad, Chowk and Hazratganj for traditional shopping and food; Gomti Nagar, Indira Nagar and Aliganj for newer homes, cafés, gyms and clinics.
- Name the area and landmark in the ad: "near Kapoorthala crossing", "Gomti Nagar Extension".
