Meta Ads

Frequent alterations to your Meta/Facebook ads can hinder performance as Meta creates a learning model of your top customers. After 50 conversions, a precise model is built that effectively finds more customers. However, changes to budget, ad set targeting, ad creative, or ad's URL reset campaign learnings. Instead, duplicate the campaign, apply changes to the new one, and deactivate the old one once the new one is operational. Patience is key to let Meta utilize its machine learning powers.

Meta's default attribution is 7-day click and 1-day view. Click attribution, which records an ad click, can be tracked and verified by 3rd-party platforms. In contrast, view attribution takes credit for a purchase even if the ad was only viewed, not clicked. The 1-day view can't be verified due to inaccessible Meta's impression logs and pixel data. It's crucial to separate it from the 7-d click for accurate attribution and use 1-day view as a reference only.
