Episode notes
Advantage+ Replaces Manual Targeting
- Meta's Advantage+ Sales shifts control from manual targeting to AI-driven campaign decisions based on creative and conversion signals.
- John Moran warns advertisers now have far less deterministic control and must adapt to algorithmic audience selection.
Deduping Forces Creative-Based Targeting
- Meta's dedupe algorithm now prevents the same person being counted across campaigns for the same conversion event.
- This makes creative and conversion-action design the primary levers for control and differentiation.
Build Granular Product Campaigns
- Create product+audience-specific Advantage+ campaigns and tie each to a custom cAPI event (e.g., product X — new customers).
- Set cost caps per product and import only matching first-click conversions to ensure correct NCACs.
