Note
Definition

A/B testing (also called split testing) is a method of comparing two or more versions of an ad to see which performs better. The audience is divided into groups, with each group seeing a different version. Results are then measured to identify the winning variation, helping advertisers make decisions based on real performance data instead of assumptions.

A/B testing is one of the most effective ways to improve Meta Ads. It allows advertisers to compare variations and use real data instead of guesswork.

What can be tested:

  • Audiences: Lookalike vs. interest-based to find higher converters;
  • Creatives: video vs. carousel vs. static images. Test headlines, CTAs, colors;
  • Placements: Stories vs. Feed vs. Marketplace vs. Messenger. Automatic placements can reveal high-performing channels.

After your test runs, you'll analyze the results and optimize your campaign by scaling up the winning variation and pausing or tweaking the others. This ongoing process not only boosts performance, but also ensures that your ads stay relevant, engaging, and cost-effective over time.

By regularly running A/B tests, you can refine your strategy with confidence, improve return on ad spend (ROAS), and make every decision backed by real performance data.
