It's Friday morning and you've just got your new Facebook Ad campaign live. For the weekend you're going away- how do you avoid spending money on adverts that aren't achieving your goals? Firstly, think through the things that indicate whether or not your advert will achieve your goals. It’s good practice to allow your campaign some time to get exposure before you start to optimize, but here are a few of the indicators you can use for optimization rules:
Having a system in place that runs rules, constantly checks performance against them and automatically takes action will help in achieving better CPA. In StitcherAds you are able to set rules that will take actions on your behalf while you're away from the desk. These rules are set at a campaign level and every hour they check all the individual adsets included in that campaign.
Setup is simple, firstly select the campaign you want to run your rule for, then start adding your rules.
In StitcherAds you can specify the point at which you want to start running rules. This is important and it's good practice to allow your campaign some time to get exposure before you start to optimize - we offer the following start conditions:

Finally you should check the 'Activate this rule now' box and save your rule. Every hour, StitcherAds will run your rules to assess the performance of your campaigns.
These rules are a way to reduce loss and can give you peace of mind.
