Reading Time: 2 minutes

For FACEBOOK

The test will fail if most of the budget was not invested in campaigns optimized for conversions.

For GOOGLE

The test will fail if most of the budget was not invested in campaigns optimized for target CPA or target ROAS.

a) Facebook

Step 1: CAMPAIGN OBJECTIVE

When creating a new campaign, make sure to optimize for conversions.

⚠️ Note: Once you create your campaign you can’t change the chosen campaign objective. So if you’re running a campaign with a different objective, make sure to create a new one that optimizes for conversions.

ℹ️ Campaign objective – Your campaign objective should align with your overall business goals.

Step 2: OPTIMIZATION FOR AD DELIVERY

⚠️Don’t forget to match the ad delivery method to your campaign objective!

ℹ️ Optimization for ad delivery – Facebook ads delivery optimization is used to help Facebook understand your ad campaign’s goals. Basically, you’re telling Facebook’s algorithms what your anticipated results are and who should see your ads.

→ After you created your campaign, head over to the ad set level. 

→ Scroll down until you see the optimization for the ad delivery section. (image below)

→ choose CONVERSIONS – Facebook will deliver your ads to the people who are most likely to convert (purchase) after seeing your ad.

b) Google

ℹ️ TARGET CPA –helps you drive as many conversions as possible at the target cost per action (CPA) you set.

ℹ️ TARGET ROAS – helps you get more conversion value or revenue at the target return-on-ad-spend (ROAS) you set.

When you set a target ROAS or CPA, this essentially tells Google,  “Find me people who are most likely to convert.”
