Understand the structure

Meta advertising is commonly organized into campaigns, ad sets and ads. The campaign defines the broader objective, while ad sets handle audience, placements, budget or schedule settings and the ads contain the creative.

Define one objective

Start by deciding whether the campaign is intended to generate enquiries, website traffic, sales or another measurable action. A single clear objective makes testing easier.

Use appropriate creative

Images and videos should match the offer and landing page. Make the message understandable without relying on exaggerated claims.

Test methodically

Change one meaningful variable at a time when possible. Compare results using the same measurement window and avoid making decisions from tiny data samples.

Respect platform rules

Advertising policies apply to creative, targeting, landing pages and restricted content. Check current Meta policies before launching campaigns.
