CBO obviously. Saves time, sustainability, predictability and no need to ninja hacking constantly. Love it! :D.

Cbo is campaign budget optimisation right? But you change the budget in adset level correct? Whats the difference, mi no compriendo

@teeterboard9 no, you change the budget in campaign level. Although you can use max and min limits on adset level

CBO, we left ad set budgets in the last decade. Read up on Facebook's power 5; it'll give you some more insights into the algorithm :) there are some caveats for smaller spenders but generally the framework is a good guide

CBO most of the time with ad set limits to ensure ad sets with lower audience sizes still get served. Ad set limits are critical in retargeting but I find results can be good with or without them for prospecting depending on budget, audience sizes, etc. I do still like using ABO for testing new audiences sometimes. one common example that I do for e-commerce is take press quotes from well known publications about the brand, create several ad variations that include that quote somewhere (creative, copy, or both) along with the product and then put it in ABO ad set targeting that publication as an interest.

CBO but not sustainable for my ad. Need to either create new adsets daily or new CBO every two days
