Summary: “I Found a BETTER Way to Advertise on Facebook in 2025”
This video presents a new, data-driven approach to Facebook and Instagram advertising that leverages Meta’s advanced AI-driven ad delivery system to optimize sales funnels within a single campaign and ad set, improving efficiency and return on ad spend (ROAS).
Traditional Facebook Ad Funnel Approach
- Three-step funnel:
- Top of Funnel (ToF): Awareness campaigns to make audiences problem and solution aware.
- Middle of Funnel (MoF): Sales or lead campaigns targeting warmed-up audiences with product/service details.
- Bottom of Funnel (BoF): Conversion-focused campaigns with strong CTAs, testimonials, and reviews.
- Advertisers warmed audiences sequentially through these stages.
- Over time, many shifted to simplified funnels focusing mostly on MoF and BoF campaigns due to Meta’s improved targeting capabilities.
Challenges with Simplified Funnels
- Meta’s algorithm targets people “ready to buy,” yielding strong short-term results.
- However, this approach risks rapid audience exhaustion and declining results as fewer new prospects enter the funnel.
- The underlying human behavior and funnel logic (awareness → consideration → conversion) remain valid but were underutilized.
New Recommended Strategy: Single Campaign, Single Ad Set, Multi-Stage Ads (“All Funnel Campaign”)
- Campaign Structure:
- One campaign with one ad set targeting a mix of cold and warm audiences.
- Within this ad set, multiple ads represent different funnel stages (ToF, MoF, BoF).
- Meta’s AI handles funnel sequencing:
- Automatically delivers top funnel ads to cold prospects.
- Skips warming stages for prospects closer to conversion and shows bottom funnel ads directly.
- Dynamically personalizes ad delivery per user, optimizing budget efficiency and ROAS.
- Creative Diversity:
- Essential to have a wide range of ad types and formats (UGC, testimonials, problem awareness, solution awareness, product awareness).
- Meta uses this diversity to tailor the funnel path per individual.
- Avoid running multiple ad sets targeting cold vs warm separately because Meta’s AI blurs these distinctions anyway.
- Audience Targeting:
- Use broad targeting with some warm audience suggestions.
- Meta’s algorithm mixes targeting dynamically unless strict hard limits are imposed (not recommended).
- Consolidate budget into one ad set to allow Meta to optimize learning and delivery.
Optimization and Management Playbook
- Do not turn off ads based solely on poor ROAS early on. Ads with poor immediate ROAS might be top funnel ads critical for warming audiences.
- Turn off ads Meta is NOT spending budget on. After the learning phase, Meta typically spends budget on 1-3 top-performing ads. Ads receiving little to no spend are effectively underperformers.
- Replace turned-off ads with new creatives that cover different funnel stages.
- Use Meta’s budget allocation as a signal of ad effectiveness, not just ROAS.
- Maintain creative diversity to keep the funnel flow intact.
