Properly Scaling Facebook Advertising Efforts

When companies want to reach their audiences on Facebook they tend to rely on both paid and organic content. When it comes to paid content, companies are constantly looking for ways to improve their campaigns, and one of the best ways to do that is by conducting an audit of the existing campaigns.

Budget

It's common for businesses to expect to generate better results when they start increasing their advertising budgets on Facebook, but that's not always the case. Many times, companies end up with worse overall performance when they start scaling their Facebook ad budgets too fast. That's mainly because instead of the platform continuing to deliver ads to the same target audience at the same rates, it starts to re-optimize the delivery of the ads because the campaign has brand new settings it needs to abide by. When companies want to start scaling their Facebook campaigns, they should do so in a measured approach.

Efficiency

If a company decides to increase its Facebook advertising budget too quickly, the platform won't be able to deliver the company's ads to the same audience in a similar fashion. One of the main settings of the campaign has changed, which means the algorithm Facebook uses has to return to the learning phase. During that learning phase, the algorithm collects all the data it needs to deliver the ads more efficiently — but the learning phase is also the most unpredictable and expensive stage of any campaign. Cost per result tends to increase significantly during it. Even after stabilization, once the ad set has entered the next phase, there's no guarantee the new cost per result will be similar to what it was before the company increased the budget.

Scaling budget

Companies can avoid disrupting cost per lead or decreasing ROAS by scaling up the advertising budget at a slower rate — increasing the advertising budget on Facebook by 10–20% weekly so the campaign avoids re-entering the learning phase. The campaign keeps expanding reach and generating leads while the platform continues to deliver ads efficiently. Watch the cost per result metric closely. Over time, this is a metric that's likely to increase even with slow, disciplined advertising budget growth.
