Best answer
Duplication and 3x-4x budget, sometimes I do 25% increase daily. Really depends if you want to gamble or jo passive.

@whish at first I‘m trying to go passive for some momentum and then I would be more „risky“. So both works for you right?  
by (3.2k points)
@banbury1 Yes. Just carefuly analyze and know when to scale it :) .

@banbury1 I got three phase scaling. 1phase is fidning winning ad-set, once found it scale 100% of the budget. Phase 2, find winning creative, when found it scale 3-5x :D

I don’t know if there is one answer to this question my friend, I had a conversation with a fb employee and I ask him the same thing he told me that audience size is a big factor to keep your numbers high also creatives that win on the auction is a big factor as well, frequency and many more factors can affect the performance of your campaign, I had CBO’s that I increase the budget x2 and x3 in one day meaning from 30€ to 60€ and to 90€ the same day and they worked fine and others increased a couple of € and got messed up, hope that helps ✌️

@odum4344 damn it always ends up in testing  but I‘ve seen stable results with 30% increase, that‘s why I‘m asking what strategies other ones use

It seems to be different for everyone. The simplest way for me to scale right now is to just do a single ad and adset per campaign and duplicate high performing campaigns. I’ve gone from $100 to $3k per day ad spend with 7. 3x average ROAS since the last week of Dec using this as my primary scaling method.

@galluses wow that‘s crazy. 1 adset 5x into one CBO or only 1 adset alone in one CBO? How do you duped the campaigns? $100 - $200 - $500 like that?  
by (300 points)
So you're keeping 1 ad inside 1 adset inside 1 CBO campaign, and you duplicate the campaign, but you do not increase the budgets in the campaigns?  
by (1.3k points)
Just one adset in one CBO campaign usually launched with $40-60 per day budget and duplicate the whole thing, it’s like scaling an ad at 100% per day as it’s the same audience and creative. Don’t ask me why it’s working but it does at the moment for me. Of course I have a great product and work hard on creative and audience fit before launching anything.

@apolitical Yes, but I do still start to increase budgets by the traditional 20-30% per day on the original campaign, and the duplicate if its performing well after a couple of days.

@galluses I 100% support this strategy! I have scaled from $100/day to $20k/day the same way.

I scale the old school way. Get 10 sales get the suggested bid from tge ad manager app. Jump my budget to a 1000 a day. Then jump to 5000 a day. I hate CBO  
by (470 points)
@cosmorama579 how soon do you make those jumps?  
by (2.1k points)
@virginavirginal8 after I get 10 sales in 1 adset. As long as my ROAS is over 2. 5 and Im profitable I take the leap.  
by (2.1k points)
My bad i jump to 100 a day to 1000 a day then 5k.  
by (470 points)
This is all in the same adset? No dupes?  
by (2.1k points)
@virginavirginal8 yes same adset
by (470 points)
@cosmorama579 why the hate for cbo? Wouldn't your strategy work the same with cbo and a single adset?  
by (2.1k points)
Im not a new marketer. I tried CBO but overall results are too slow for me.

20% - 50% every 2h
by (2.4k points)
@pudency really? It works?  
by (280 points)
The best so far, however we also decrease every 2h.  
by (2.4k points)
@pudency that‘s crazy! So you up the budget every 2hrs and as soon as the performance dips you decrease it by the last amount and let it run right?  
by (280 points)
@banbury1 everything depends on ROAS. ROAS above x = 50%, ROAS below x = -20%
by (280 points)
All rules in revealbot

@pudency makes sense, thank you very much for your answer! Keep going  
by (1.5k points)
@pudency reveal bot you only need to utilize the 15m checks tho no? If you are doing every 2 hours you can use facebooks rules for 30m checks.  
by (280 points)
@eltonelucidate we are not using revealbot because of 15m checks.

Increase every 2 hours if ROAS is profitable using revealbot, works very well for me

It works fine when I do it. Just make sure that you have rules in place to save you from over spending.

@consistency Vasquez IV yeah I do it manually and shut down bad adsets within the CBO, works great so far.

10-15% increase daily until out of learning phase than you can scale at much higher percentages once out of learning phase.
