Setting Budgets and Bidding for Success
Managing budgets and bidding effectively prevents overspending and helps scale profitable campaigns.
Budget Types:
- Daily Budget: steady daily spend;
- Lifetime Budget: flexible. Meta allocates more on high-performing days.
Budget Optimization:
- Campaign Budget Optimization (CBO / Advantage Plus): distributes budget across ad sets automatically. Good for testing, less for long-term control.
Bidding Strategies:
- Lowest Cost (Highest Volume): maximizes results within budget;
- Cost Cap (Bid Cap): keeps cost per result under a set amount (e.g., $5 per lead).
Scaling Strategy:
- Test multiple ad sets with small budgets ($3β$5 each);
- After ~5 days, analyze metrics (CPC, CPR, ROAS);
- Scale vertically: raise budget by 20β30% every 3β5 days;
- Scale horizontally: duplicate ad sets with new audiences/creatives.
High ad Frequency can mean ad fatigue and usually means a good time to refresh creatives or switch audiences.
1. What is the main advantage of using a Lifetime Budget over a Daily Budget?
2. If you want to avoid paying more than $3 per lead, which bidding strategy should you choose?
3. What's a smart way to scale a high-performing ad set?
