Campaign Budget Optimization shifts budget across ad sets in real time, focusing spend on the highest-performing segments. When paired with AI forecasting, CBO becomes a powerhouse for efficient scaling.
1. Configure Your CBO Campaign
Within Ads Manager, enable CBO and set a daily or lifetime budget. QuickAds.ai’s predictive pacing tool then overlays CBO, forecasting high-ROI windows—so your budget surges when conversion probability peaks.
2. Layer Granular Ad Sets
Create ad sets by distinct audiences—lookalikes, interest clusters, remarketing pools. CBO will naturally direct spend to the best performer, but you control the universe of options it chooses from.
3. Monitor Placement-Level Performance
CBO can overspend on less relevant placements. Use QuickAds.ai’s Analytics to slice performance by Feed, Stories, Reels, and more. If a placement underperforms, add a placement filter or adjust bid caps.
4. Automate Guardrail Rules
Set rules via QuickAds.ai’s Workflow Builder: “Pause ad sets where CPA > target AND ROAS < target.” This prevents CBO from amplifying a sudden CPC spike and burning your budget.
5. Iterate and Scale
After a week, identify which ad sets consistently win. Duplicate your CBO campaign, remove underperformers, and raise the budget. Let QuickAds.ai’s Auto-Rebalance handle incremental scaling so you avoid manual micromanagement.
By combining CBO’s algorithmic budget shifts with AI-driven forecasts and guardrails, you build a self-optimizing campaign that chases profits, not just clicks—keeping your ROI on an ever-upward trajectory.
