Meta is currently testing a new feature called Value optimization, which focuses on optimizing Return On Ad Spend (ROAS) based on profit margins rather than just product value. Traditionally, Meta's optimization for Value aimed to maximize ROAS based on the sales value of products, which does not account for the actual profit after considering business costs.
In this testing phase, advertisers can provide profit information through the Conversions API, allowing Meta to prioritize driving ROAS based on profit instead of merely the purchase amount. For instance, selling a $20 product might yield better profits than a $30 product, depending on the associated costs. This feature is still in testing but has the potential to significantly benefit advertisers by aligning ad spend with actual profitability.
