Cost caps are fine and allow you to scale easily at your target ROAS when implemented correctly. Set a low cost cap on your TOFU (1-2X), a slightly higher one on your MOFU, and then run your BOFU at 20% budget with no cost cap and your blended ROAS should fall within your goal. There is no better way to achieve consistent performance than with a cost cap especially if you have an unlimited budget.
When do you set the cost cap? Like after you’ve trained the pixel for a while ? Can I use the cost cap with a new account and pixel??
@@mrmarkl328 I train the pixel with 15-20 conversions in 30 days. More is better but it can get really expensive if you have a high AOV. Depending on your AOV, $100 CPA is good for top of funnel. Don't be surprised if your daily spend drops significantly for the next couple weeks as the system tries to hit the target. It will bounce back and start spending efficiently once it accrues enough data. Patience is key. Cost cap with new account could work if you don't set it too low. Try $100 CPA on your top of funnel and leave it unrestricted no bid cap on the 30 day bottom of funnel visitors with a smaller budget (20%). This is what works for me. Eventually, all of your campaigns should be running on a cost cap or tROAS once you are pushing enough sales volume. This is the easiest way to run FB ads and if you set everything right you will be able to scale as much as you want while making a profit.
Great video.. I don't ever set caps. Have you ever seen a campaign that was at $1.75 to $3.00 a click consistently and then one day is at $8 a click eating up almost all of the budget before 12noon? For an example, I have a $1000 a day budget, and at 10am $800 is spent! I have lots of times where I'd get the clicks, and little sales, but never seen this before where it would eat my budget so fast either and very little sales. 0 changes were made to the campaign and the ads, etc... Never seen this before, has it happened to you? if so, do you just ride the wave?
Another great video! You're seriously the number #1 source of Facebook Ads information on TH-cam! I have a question, when starting a new conversion campaign, how much money should you have spent with no or little landing page views/link clicks, before it's an indicator of the campaign not being successful? I know you got to give it some time, but I got a new conversion campaign with 10 pounds spent and no link clicks. Thank you so much!
Thank you very much :)
I've got a great video on that here: th-cam.com/video/YwAE2M0jbkk/w-d-xo.html
As always a very good content coming from a real expert on his field whom have real results (successful ones)test multiple strategy .thank you so much for you generosity Ben heath 👍👍👍keep up the GREAT work👏👏👏
Thank you very much Christian :)
Thanks for sharing valuable content
BEN, How we are going to repay you for such great knowledge you provide.
Haha - best way is to become a member of my channel :) That also comes with added perks. You can find out more info here: th-cam.com/video/NMfPtypNfeE/w-d-xo.html
Hey Ben, I think the next video should be about targeting expansion, which Facebook has announced will be a default feature starting Sept 21
Good idea Omar
Thanks for this great video. It's realy helpful to me.
Happy to help :)
I normally run the campaigns on lowest cost but when I check on them during the day if CPR rises i just pause the adsets and switch it back on at midnight , like you said in the UK especially when it is sunny on Saturdays that normally come with with bad results because people are out drinking or at the beach but when I turn on the campaign on a Sunday it gets a positive CPR
That's an interesting approach. I think you want to be careful adjusting on that sort of timeframe and delivery mechanisms could be interrupted. But if it's working for you now - no need to change it.
thanks Ben, i guess its not updated anymore. Cost cap now called Cost per result?
Can you please tell me how i can enable fb ads cost control, which is grayed out and i can not put any amount in there. thank you so much
I make and A/B test with minimal price and cost cap. With a cost cap I have more conversion and as a results at a lower price. It was like 20-30% of difference.
The one thing if you turn to a cost cap from minimal price it will automatically send it to learning phase one again/(
Sorry, made*
Did you set a cost cap after a month of running the ads after the data was gathered
If I run my ad for 1.5 month, spent 550 usd, got around 1000 page visits, 200 add to carts, around 40 sales, etc., would it be reasonable to try this cost cap? Some days I get 2-3 sales, and that’s super cool. But some days it’s 0 sales.
When you have a mature campaign, and you want to add a cost cap, do you suggest adding the cost cap into the existing campaign? or duplicating the campaign and then adding cost cap?
I love the video as always. Thank you for the great explanation👍🙂
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hey ben how are you ben is there any update going on with Facebook
Seeing sudden decline in results.
Buddy
Just an hour back I launched a campaign with cost caps. And I think at the same time you uploaded this video. What a conincidence. Lol
Funny timing :)
@@BenHeath wow I'm back to get more idea on this topic. Good to see I already had watched this video earlier. Lol.
Btw, thanks Ben. Really appreciatete you. Your videos have so much of knowledge and value. :)
Hi Ben, Appreciate your video.
I started a new campaign with cost cap. My desired cost cap is $10. The ads aren't spending. So I have increased to $15. I see a slight increase in spent but that doesn't make any difference. Could you please suggest why could be the reason why my campaigns aren't spening.
Thanks
Have you ever tried using cost cap with a super high cost? Does it work like the old bully method by showing the ad to the premium buyers?
Yes and from what I can see it usually makes no difference at all.
What if we keep CBO turned off and apply cost cap on ABO level. Would that be a better approach ?
You still run into the same issues with that set up. Your delivery process and therefore optimization is interrupted.
Then is it better have a bigger budget? my cost per purchase is around 5.5 euros to 6 euros, budget is 100e day. I wont to fix it about 4.5euros per purches. is it good strategi to put cost contol on 10eruos and higer budget?
Hi ben, I have a question, have you ever experienced cost per concessions higher than the cost cap you set? I thought it supposed to control the cost not to go higher than what we set.
Hey Ben, when setting cost cap based on average cost per purchase, do you mean in the campaign level or the ad level? (I'm testing a campaign where I get really high cost per purchase in the campaign level but when you go look into the individual ads, the cost per purchase of the ads that converted are much much lower)
Hi Sheena, that depends if you are using CBO or ABO - either way the advice is the same :)
Hi Ben, thanks for the excellent video. Very educational. I was paying attention to what you mentioned about cost control, and what you say makes perfect sense, but what if I'm running this campaign for the first time with cost control? What would be my limit if I don't have anything to compare with? What is the limit I should start with? I'm running a conversions campaign to a quiz funnel to get Dental Implants leads. Appreciate your input on this. Thanks.
You are very welcome Fedor :)
The simple answer is that I wouldn't start a new campaign with a cost control. I would instead start with smaller budgets and establish a base line cost first.
Hi Ben, had a quick question. Recently had an ad set exit learning limited and performance has dropped in comparison to being in learning limited. It’s been in the active phase now for 3-4 days. Any suggestions with this as I thought performance would pick up. Thank you.
That's probably just a coincidence and you've hit naturally fluctuation at the time that your ad set exited the learning phase. I'd give it more time and see if the costs come back down.
Hello Ben ! Amazing video as usual :)
Small question, when we put a custom audience in an ad set inside a CBO campaign for example ( let's say it's Facebook page engagers , or likers or whichever other custom audience )
At the time that audience was created , let's say the FB page engagers were 5000 people, we made a LLA from that as well etc... and we ran the campaign for a month.
After those 30 days , the Facebook page engagers are way more then 5000 , does that custom audience and it's LLA , get automatically updated ? or will we have to manually go make a new audience and then re-make a duplicated ad-set to put said bigger audience.
Thank you so much I know I have been asking much lately, but I trust your judgement highly.
Thank you very much.
Yes both the custom and lookalike audience will update automatically in that scenario. The time where that won't happen is if you upload a list and don't update it.
you are a fucking G thank you very much fo the info
Happy to help :)
Great video Ben. I've been using Cost Caps lately and have done well, but never spent anywhere near my budget. I have my budget set at $5000 per day and it barely spends $300 per day. I find it hard to believe it can only get me 10-15 conversions per day out of millions of users. Any thoughts on how to get it to scale? It's been running for nearly 10 days and while the results have been consistent, it will never spend. Also, would you advise removing the cost cap during holiday advertising due to the increased rate of conversions?
Hi Jayme, thanks a lot :)
That happens very often with cost caps. The best approach is often to increase or remove the cost cap - but you will want to reduce your budget significantly first - otherwise that sort of budget increase will result in a massive spike in cost per conversion.
Facebook will be able to generate many more conversions than that per day but not necessarily within the cost per conversion you have set as your cap - that's what's going on here.
Hi Ben, great content. How do I add another ad account for another website in my business account? When I try I have locked icons next to 'add another account' and 'create an account'. I haven't been running ads for very long so maybe there is some criteria I need to meet? Thanks
Hi Samuel, thanks a lot.
I think you will just have to wait until Facebook enable that for you. They restrict a lot of options for new advertisers.
@@BenHeath Okay thanks, could I create a new Facebook account entirely and then a brand new business manager and ad account? Will Facebook disable my account if I use the same payment options?
Hi ben i have question. If an ad set has been running on lowest cost for 3 weeks and i now know my average order value can i add the cost cap on that ad set without it going in the learning phase again?
If you add a cost cap it is highly likely to go into the learning phase no matter how much data it has.
I’ve been watching your videos and they are great but my cost to purchase is $60-80 dollars and I don’t have the budget to get the 50 purchases and leave the learning phase within the week. I feel like the cost per conversion is too high but can’t find a way to lower it.
Hi james, just curious… is your product super niche?? Just guessing..
Hi James, good question. I think you'll find this video on learning limited very helpful: th-cam.com/video/mhjXEQZAbIo/w-d-xo.html
Lowering cost per conversion is all about creating higher quality campaigns. There are tons of ways to do that from better ad creative, testing new targeting options, improving your front end offers, etc.
@@Ibizablog I'm trying to sell a beauty product with my wife! I'd say it is pretty niche.
@@BenHeath I really wasn't expected you to reply so a HUGE thanks for that! I wanted ur video and I'm excited to try out your suggestions. I've increased my audience and added some more creatives. I'm already offering a $25 off offer with free shipping and I've increased my budget! Excited to see how it goes.
@@tanneryobro i’ll be following. I think it’s the niche issue. But we’ll see
He ben i want to ask you a question plz tell me how?
Hi Anas, you can ask away here :)
I'm prioritizing member comments so if you want to make sure I answer them, the best way is to Join my channel :)
Still works with IOS 14?
Yep :)
Okay so just let facebook charge us however much they want to and keep eating the losses as if nothing happened? ok, got it.
That is definitely not what I’m recommending
