This week weāre diving a little deeper into Campaign Budget Optimization....and looking at how to effectively test your ads when first getting them started with CBO.
Iām sharing what Iāve learned about split testing your ads using CBO, and how to get the most out of your testing phase so that you can ensure you get clear data on all the ads you want to test! Which can be tricky to do when Facebook is deciding where your budget is spent!
But even with CBO allocating budget automatically for you, itās still possible to run controlled, split tests to see which ads are performing best.....before you scale!
So listen in to my top tips on how to effectively structure and run your ad campaigns when you're in testing phase and using CBO.
What Iāve learned from using CBO for the last 12 months (instead of putting it off until the last minute). Some important things to know about the testing phase of your ads when using CBO. How using CBO differs at ad set level, and how to perform split testing now that things have changed.

Hey there! Welcome back to another episode of Ads That Convert! This week Iāll be discussing with you why using cookie cutter templates, copy and strategy could be holding you back from experiencing your ads true potential.
Does your audience engage with your ads? Or do they tend to scroll by them without doing anything? If they do engage, do they buy? Or do they drop off half way through the process, never to be heard from again?
If youāre experiencing issues, the problem could be the formula youāve been given. Not all audiences are alike, and sometimes we forget that when it comes to sales and creating ads! Not to worry though, Iāll help you figure out what will work for your audience, and it starts right here with this episode.
Why your audience may not respond to your ads the exact same way as someone else's The importance of knowing how YOUR customer feels about engaging with your funnels and processes Why you shouldn't be afraid to test things out once youāve learned the foundational framework of running a successful ad campaign.Get the Free Training!

Cost per lead is a metric that stresses a lot of people out when they're running Facebook ads. Much like obsessing over the numbers on a scale, discouraging people from losing weight, obsessing over your cost per lead might discourage you from going in on an ad strategy that will have huge results.
Iām taking a moment this week to dive into why cost per lead isn't the only metric you should be focusing on, and how to devise a strategy based on actual data, rather than just feeling out whether or not the cost is ātoo highā.
The more knowledge and data you have, the more informed decisions you can make, so click play and letās get you the information you need to rock your next series of ads!
Why overcoming the fear of spending money on Facebook ads is crucial to making decisions and running a successful campaign. Much in the same way you can focus on the wrong numbers in weight loss, itās also true with Facebook ads! What numbers should you be measuring your cost per lead against?Register for my brand new, Facebook ads training: https://lizmelville.com/training

Iāve been diligently working hard on some of my clients launches, and noticed two sneaky little changes that Facebook has made that I almost missed!
I spend a great deal of my time in Facebookās Ads Manager, and so If I nearly missed them, then you might miss them too!
The first is a small change within the lookalike audience section of the Ads Manager. Nothing major, but still great to know about since it will most certainly impact the performance of your ads and how you would normally go about choosing audiences.
The other is a change I noticed in the Connection Targeting area of Ads Manager, and where Facebook is shifting what they want to prioritize and what they consider to be important.
While neither change will derail your campaigns completely if you miss them, youāll be much better served by paying attention to them, so click play, tune in and figure out how to best serve your ads for the rest of 2020!
What is a lookalike audience and what's changed recently in how you set them up What's changing with how you target your Facebook page likes.....and what it means for the future!Join the Facebook Community

It's all part of Facebook's plans to tighten up on ad approval in order to ensure quality ads are being served to the proper audiences.

5 of the most common reason why ads will be rejected.
What to do when youāve put in all of the work, you feel like you've complied with ad policy, and you still get disapproved?
You'll catch more flies with honey than vinegar when it comes to dealing with Facebook about your rejected ad!
