I used to spend an hour a day staring at Ads Manager. Refreshing.
Panicking. Launching new campaigns just to feel like I was doing something.
The problem wasn't my creative. It wasn't my budget. It was that I had no system.
Here's the two-campaign structure that changed everything for me:
Campaign 1: Testing: Ad set budget optimization, cold traffic only. You're not scaling here. You're collecting data and finding what works.
Campaign 2:Scaling: Advantage Plus, CBO, all warm audiences. Once something proves itself in testing, you move it here and let Meta do the heavy lifting.
That's it. Two campaigns. 10 minutes a day.
Save this so you have it the next time you're about to panic-launch.
