Q & A

What is the main strategy for quickly testing a Facebook Ads campaign?

The strategy involves creating a campaign with two audiences and a maximum of three ads per audience. This method minimizes testing while ensuring quick results by focusing on the most efficient ads for each audience.

Why is it important to refine and avoid targeting too broad an audience in Facebook Ads campaigns?

Refining the target audience ensures that the campaign focuses on users who are most likely to convert, reducing wasted ad spend. It helps avoid targeting segments that may not be relevant to the business, especially when working with a limited budget.

What should an advertiser do when their Facebook Ads campaign has one ad that performs much better than the others?

The advertiser should keep the underperforming ads running, even if they have minimal budgets, to allow for the possibility that the top-performing ad may eventually underperform. This provides a backup in case the top ad stops performing well.

What advice is given when dealing with Facebook Ads’ automatic optimization suggestions?

The advice is to ignore Facebook's automatic optimization suggestions, as they might not align with the campaign's goals or performance. It's more beneficial to follow a tested strategy based on one's own experience and analysis.

What is the risk of increasing the budget on a campaign recommended by Facebook Ads, even if costs are high?

Increasing the budget could exacerbate inefficiencies, leading to higher costs without improving the campaign's overall performance. It's crucial to assess the campaign's profitability before scaling the budget.

What is the importance of building a solid foundation before scaling a Facebook Ads campaign?

Building a solid foundation involves testing and identifying the best-performing ads, ensuring that the campaign is profitable before scaling up. This approach helps avoid wasting budget and improves the chances of successful scaling.

When should an advertiser stop following Facebook's recommendations and trust their own knowledge?

An advertiser should trust their own knowledge when Facebook's recommendations are inconsistent with their campaign goals or when they observe that the suggested changes negatively affect performance. Continuing to follow personal strategies that align with the campaign's objectives is key.

How can advertisers efficiently optimize campaigns with limited budgets?

Advertisers can optimize campaigns by focusing on a narrow, well-defined audience, cutting out ineffective segments, and testing only the most promising ads. Once a profitable base is established, they can scale and test more without risking wasted spend.

Why is it considered dangerous to rely on a single ad in a Campaign Budget Optimization (CBO) setup?

Relying on a single ad is risky because if that ad stops performing well, there’s nothing else to take over its place. It’s better to have multiple ads running, even with minimal budgets, to maintain flexibility and stability in the campaign.

What kind of support does J7 Academy provide for Facebook Ads advertisers and agencies?

J7 Academy offers resources and training for media buyers, freelancers, agencies, and advertisers. It provides insights into Facebook Ads strategies and even offers advice from industry experts like Antoine Gagnier for agencies looking to optimize their business model.
