Meta Ads Setup

  • Business Manager with admin access.
  • Pixel (Meta Pixel) and Conversions API (CAPI) access.
  • Conversion definitions and consent mode setup.
  1. Create campaigns by objective: Leads, Sales, Traffic (avoid mixed objectives).
  2. Ad sets: segment by geo/audience; keep broad audiences where possible.
  3. Ads: 3–5 creatives per ad set; include primary text variants and hooks.
  4. Install Pixel and enable CAPI; deduplicate via event_id.
  5. Map standard events (Lead, Purchase) with required parameters.
  6. Verify events in Events Manager; resolve any signal loss or consent warnings.
  7. Set budgets and placements; start with Advantage+ placements unless constrained.
  • Events firing once with correct parameters and high event match quality.
  • Learning phase exits within a reasonable time (spend and stability).
  • Event mismatch: verify schema and dedup keys.
  • High CPA: test creatives, audience, and landing page speed.
  • Rejected ads: fix policy conflicts (text, claims, restricted categories).
  • Setup: 1–2 hours. Impact: reliable baseline structure and attribution.
