Budget
Advantage+ Shopping Campaigns
Meta's fully automated campaign type that uses ML to optimize creative selection, audience targeting, and placement simultaneously from a single campaign structure. Requires minimal manual setup: upload creatives, set a budget, and the algorithm does the rest. Average brands see lower CPA versus manual campaigns, but with limited transparency into what's working. Key limitation: you can't see which audiences or placements are driving results, making it harder to learn and iterate. Best used alongside manual campaigns, not as a replacement.
Why it matters
It consolidates prospecting and retargeting into one automated campaign, which usually improves efficiency and definitely reduces your visibility into where the return came from.
In practice
Watch the new-customer share rather than blended ROAS. ASC will happily hit a ROAS target by serving existing customers.
