Mixing targeting, etc… within an ad set makes it difficult to:
- Understand why one ad performs better than another
- Compare the performance of one audience vs. another
- Determine the optimal placement & bidding strategy
- Allocate different budgets to different audiences, etc…
- Predict the delivery you can get for a specific budget
Current settings make it difficult to test & optimize

Organize ad sets by audience
Optimize creativeAn ad will now be defined solely by your creative. Create a small variety of ads so our system can optimize ad delivery across variations in images, links, video or text.
You will now define your audience at the ad set level so you can more effectively determine the most responsive audience and minimize your ad sets from competing against each other for impressions for the same audience.
Delivery predictabilityMoving targeting, placement and bidding to the same level as budget allows delivery to become more predictable for a specific budget.

perform. Create a small variety of ads with variations in
creative so our system can optimize delivery across the
variations in images, video, text or links.
You can have no more than
50 non-deleted ads per ad set.
