Best Practices

Guidelines for launching, testing and scaling campaigns.

Budget Guidelines

  • At least $5/day per ad set for Leads, $10/day for Sales.
  • CBO with at least $100/day works well for 8-12 ad sets.
  • Wait until the ad set leaves the learning phase (about 50 results within a week) before judging it.

Testing Strategy

  • Start with 3-5 creative variants per campaign.
  • Test one variable at a time (creative, headline, audience) so you know what moved the result.
  • Use separate ad sets for clean A/B tests so each variable gets its own budget.
  • Review performance breakdowns by age, gender, platform, and device to see what works.

Creative Best Practices

  • Prepare videos in more than one aspect ratio: 4:5 or 1:1 (Feed), 9:16 (Stories/Reels), 16:9 (In-stream).
  • Use 3-5 headline variants and 2-3 primary text variants per creative.
  • Include a clear call-to-action that matches your objective.
  • Refresh creatives every 2-4 weeks to avoid fatigue. Watch frequency and CTR trends on the Performance Dashboard.

Scaling Winners

  • Find your top-performing ads on the Performance Dashboard and raise their budget gradually.
  • When a creative performs well, duplicate it with slight variations to extend its life.
  • Check performance weekly to spot trends and early signs of fatigue.
  • Use the AI copilot in Claude, ChatGPT or Perplexity to pull insights and compare campaign performance.

Organization Tips

  • Use clear naming conventions to keep campaigns organized in both Adsap and Meta Ads Manager.
  • Save recurring settings as an Ad Template for quick reuse.
  • Reuse a Meta saved audience you have tested before to speed up new campaign setup.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Wrong objective: Do not use Traffic when you want conversions. Use Sales or Leads.
  • Mismatched result metric: Do not set your result metric to something different from your actual goal.
  • Editing during learning: Do not change campaigns during the learning phase (first ~50 conversions).
  • Forgetting to activate: Adsap publishes every campaign paused by default. Activate them from the performance dashboard or the AI Copilot after publishing.
