In plain English
Everything is built in three levels: campaign, ad set, ad. The objective sits at the top, audience and budget in the middle, creative at the bottom.
Its reporting is more useful than most people use. Breakdowns by placement, age, device and time reveal where budget is going and which parts of it are working.
What to know
Three levels
Campaign, ad set, ad.
Objective at the top
It governs how delivery optimises.
Breakdowns matter
Placement and demographic splits show what is working.
Changes reset learning
Every significant edit restarts the learning phase.
Why it matters
Most account improvements come from reading breakdowns rather than from new campaigns. The data showing which placement wastes budget is already there.
Common mistakes
×Never using breakdown reports.
×Editing live ad sets frequently, resetting learning.
×Too many ad sets splitting budget too thinly.
×Objective chosen without understanding what it optimises.
FAQs
