SO what is happening with me
On a BM i added my new instagram and FB page on which i needed to run lead gen ad ( 52 SEC video ) but it didnt spend at all like it spent not even 1% of my ad budget.
Then i created a new campaign on the first day it did not spend anything but next day it spend around 1% of my ad budget
by the time i thought it could be my ad account problem coz i was doing everything thing right
i created a new ad account under the same BM
and created a campaign that did not deliver a single penny yet.
with that i thought i will create a new ad campaign and schedule it for 12 AM
and now the previous one and the new one both are stuck in preparing phase idk why

also yeah idk why my lead campaign are taking long time in preparing phase like more than 4-6 hours

So I'm managing Meta ads for a client and running into something I haven't dealt with before.

I'm optimizing for Add to Cart since they're entering a new market on a limited budget — there's no room to spend on a separate Traffic or Landing Page View stage that doesn't directly drive revenue, so every euro needs to work toward the sales goal from the start. Traffic looks fine, CTR is solid, but I've got zero tracked Add-to-Carts and the ad set just won't leave the learning phase.

Dug into it and it looks like Meta has the domain sitting in a restricted category — something to do with pregnancy/women's health products — which limits which events the pixel is even allowed to pass through — so ATC just isn't registering, no matter how much traffic comes in.

Has anyone actually been through a review like this?

• How long did it take in reality, not just what Meta says?
• Would you bother duplicating the ad set with a different optimization event (Link Click or Landing Page View) in the meantime, or is that more hassle than it's worth?

Would love to hear your opinion!

Thank you!

Curious how other people running Meta ads for multiple clients handle this — still doing it manually (screenshots, pulling numbers into a doc), or found something that works better?

Asking because I built a tool that connects to your Meta Ads account (read-only, can't touch campaigns or spend) and generates a branded client PDF report in under a minute. Looking for one agency to actually try it and tell me honestly what's broken — free for 3 months.

Not selling anything here, genuinely want to know if this is a real pain point for others too.

If you're running Meta Ads for multiple clients and still spend hours every month manually pulling numbers and writing reports — I built something that might help.

It connects to your Meta Ads account (read-only, can't touch your campaigns or spend) and generates a branded PDF report for your client in under a minute.

Not selling anything — genuinely just need one agency willing to try it and tell me honestly what's broken. Comment or DM if interested.

I’m a beginner with meta ADS. And I don’t understand why I’m not converting!

Spent 150$ overall on a campaign, 10K impressions but only ONE sale. And I’m confused because I believe my website is good, and speed is okay, and CTR is 2%.

Main thing I noticed is that the link clicks I received are 213, but only 18 website landing page.

Anyone has faced this?

Our band is trying to increase our followers. You used to be able to run an ad and it would have a follow button on it under engagement. Basically trying to make an ad and get likes for a page. Facebook/Meta has changed that and now you can’t run those ads. Any suggestions on how I should promote to increase the band’s follows now?

Need help in identifying the Meta Ads, in the following scenario

1) How to analyze the if my ads stop peformainf suddenly
2) What all metrics must be taken care during perfomance analysis
3) What all steps to take to get same performance from the ads

Pls note my all campaigns are for B2B and for Dubai

Running Meta ads for 6+ products already, all performing well individually. Want to run a dedicated Raksha Bandhan (Indian gifting festival, short ~2 week window) push for our 3 bestsellers, all similar price point, same category (bags/accessories), single-product creative each (tested carousels before, they underperformed vs single-product ads).

Trying to decide between:

Option A: 1 campaign, CBO at campaign level, 3 ad sets (one per product), broad/Advantage+ targeting per ad set, differentiated only by creative/copy angle.

Option B: 3 separate campaigns, one per product, own budget each (ABO).

Concerns with Option A: worried CBO might just starve one ad set of budget early and I won't catch it in time given the short festival runway. Also not sure if broad targeting across 3 ad sets in one campaign causes audience overlap or self-competition in the auction.

Has anyone run something similar (short festival window, multiple similar SKUs, single-product creative)? Did CBO handle the reallocation well, or did you end up switching to ABO or separate campaigns mid-flight? How fast did you have to react?
