What You'll Learn
- Setting up Meta campaigns: Ads Manager > Create > choose objective
- Turn OFF: Multi-Advertiser Ads, Audience Advantage Plus, "Reach beyond targeting" option
- Each ad set needs its own budget — never share budgets across ad sets
- Age targeting: set 64 as the maximum (65+ rarely scroll social media)
- Placement rules — what to keep ON and what to turn OFF (see detailed list)
- Detailed targeting: use specific interests, behaviors, and for B2B use "Business Page Admins"
- Lead forms: 2FA standard, conditional logic standard, no intros
- Retargeting setup: custom audiences from website visitors, pixel setup, purchase tracking
- Using Meta Pixel Helper and TagHound extensions to verify pixel installation
- Domain verification on Meta via GHL or WordPress
- For reels/animated only: go to Ad Set > Placement Controls, keep only "Stories and Reels" on
Always turn off Threads, Messenger Stories, and Search Results. For still images, also turn off Reels in-stream ads. Only keep: Facebook Feed, Instagram Feed, Instagram Explore, Explore Home, and Stories & Reels.
