Stop Letting Meta Pick Your Winning Ad

Nick Cao • July 23, 2025

Think Meta always puts more budget behind your best performing ad?

Think again.

Just because one ad is getting the lowest CPA doesn’t mean Meta will scale it.

In fact, it often doesn’t.

Here’s why:

βœ… Meta optimises based on early signals, not actual results
βœ… It favours ad delivery “stability” over cost efficiency
βœ… The auction system rewards what wins cheaply, not necessarily what converts best
βœ… Once an ad gains early traction, Meta keeps feeding it, even if a stronger performer is sitting right next to it

Instead, try:

πŸ”₯ Isolating one ad per ad set
🎯 Keep audience targeting identical
πŸ’° Assign equal ABO budgets
πŸ“Š Let the data speak. Clean, unbiased and actionable

The result?

Real insight. Real winners. No algorithmic guesswork.

Give it a try, if you're not already.
