Three things, in order:
- Audience overlap — did you launch a new ad set hitting the same people?
- Frequency — anything above 2.5 in a 7-day window pushes CPM up.
- Auction competition — check if your category has a seasonal spike right now.

See what a lesson actually looks like
Short, visual, and tied to one decision you can make tomorrow. Here's the first third of "Choosing the right campaign objective".
Choosing the right campaign objective
The objective you pick at the campaign level tells Meta which of its 15+ optimisation algorithms to spend your budget against. Pick the wrong one and you'll get traffic when you wanted purchases — or worse, pay for clicks that never convert.
There are six objectives in the new Outcome-Driven Ads Experience. Most beginners default to Traffic because it sounds safe. It almost never is. Here's the decision framework we use on every client account:
- What does the business actually need this week — leads, sales, or reach?
- Do you have a tracked conversion event with at least 50 weekly fires?
- Where in the funnel is this audience — cold, warm, or retargeting?
Run those three questions in order and the objective picks itself. We'll walk through each one with real account screenshots in the next section…
The rest of this lesson — including the decision tree and video walkthrough — unlocks the moment you sign up.
