@RobPerry_ Same here. Meta keeps adding Advantage+ creative enhancements as default-on, and API launches inherit them unless the tool sends explicit opt-outs. Worth asking your launch tool to add those flags, and spot-check one ad per batch in preview until then.
@joshua_oko9922 Classic. Quick fix I'd try: take their top 3 features and rewrite each as the result the customer actually gets, then run each as its own static with that outcome as the headline. You find out fast which promise moves people.
@KrisAdIntel Makes sense, UK rules on supplement health claims are way stricter. Brands that still run there usually lean on statics built around taste, routine or reviews instead of performance claims. Curious if any of the 6 had UK ads going that route.
@AndrewAllsop Solid setup. One thing I'd add for B2B: test plain statics that call out the job title and one specific pain right in the headline. Generic "grow your pipeline" ads get cheap clicks from the wrong people. Specific ones cost more per click but way less per qualified lead.
@SachinKankane Been there. For games, optimize for an in-app event like tutorial complete or level 3 instead of just installs, and test 5-6 creatives that show real gameplay in the first second. Cheap installs who never play teach Meta to find more of the same.
Meta advertisers: do you test new static ads in a separate ABO testing campaign and move winners over, or drop them straight into your main CBO? Curious which finds winners faster without messing up your scaling campaign.
@Mat_mgb@finkd@MetaforBusiness@boztank Rollouts like this usually go account by account, so there's not much to do but wait. Meanwhile I'd use the backup account to build and test your workflows on a small budget, so you can just switch them over to the main account the day it lands.
@harryeduard_dtc Normal for day 2, Meta front-loads spend while it's still learning. If that clip is still eating budget with weak CTR by day 3, just turn it off so the rest get a fair share. One ad hogging spend early doesn't mean the others lost.
@passportsss Big one. If refunds spike after a new ad goes live, check that ad first. The creative that oversells usually has the best CTR and the worst refund rate. Tagging orders by ad with UTMs makes it obvious which promise to dial back.
@unfazedrakib Agree. Easiest way to keep those tests clean: change one thing at a time. Same hook with three different executions, then the winning execution with three hooks. Otherwise when one wins you can't tell what actually did it.
@bengoogleads Same goes for Meta. Launch your BFCM creatives a couple weeks early in a separate testing campaign, so the winners already have data when promo week hits instead of every new ad starting from zero in the priciest auction of the year.
Static ad tip: name every creative by what it's testing, like hook_format_offer (painpoint_review_20off). After a month you can sort Ads Manager and see which angles actually win, instead of guessing from a pile of files called final_v3.
@holmisthename Love how simple that is. For newsletter funnels on Meta, plain statics with one specific line from a past issue often beat polished promos. Pull your 5 best lines, run each as its own static, and keep whatever brings the cheapest subscribers.
@TomBenattar Ouch. 1,200 visits and zero signups usually means the campaign was optimizing for clicks, and Meta finds you exactly that. Check the pixel actually fires on signup, then rerun on a leads or sales objective with signup as the goal.
@creativebyjosh Agree. Better interview test: hand them your top 5 ads and ask why each one worked and what 3 ads they'd make next. Or pay for a small trial batch and run it against your control. You learn way more than from a screenshot.
@mrsamnouri Good framing. For the demo side, don't assume it has to be video. A before/after static or one frame showing the result often does the job, and you can test 10 of those for the cost of one shoot before picking which demo to film.
Worth knowing: Ads Manager's breakdown by age and gender works on static ads too. If one creative crushes with women 45+ and flops with 18-24, that's not a bad ad, it's a clue. Build your next batch of statics around the people already buying.
@ibrid_solutions Usually is. For clinics, the quickest fix I've seen is putting the price or next open slot right in the ad, then sending clicks to click-to-WhatsApp instead of a slow website. People who click already know what it costs, so far more of them actually book.
@AdDadRyanW Agreed. My rule before calling a creative a winner: it has to beat the account's average cost per purchase across at least 2 ad sets or 2 weeks. One lucky week on one ad set proves almost nothing.
@gman_dev Big time saver. Just make it apply a strict naming convention to every ad it creates, like angle_format_hook_date. Then figuring out which angles actually win takes seconds instead of an afternoon in a spreadsheet.
