Facebook Ads Testing Testing Tips: - Keep your KPI’s in mind when setting up campaigns, allowing for agile testing

during campaigns length- Plan on changing photo/copy at least once a week to ensure visibility - Track all changes

- With so many targeting options its important to track what changes were made and where the impacts lie.

- Constantly test new ad types- Demographics behavior will change based on seasonality and targets very

swiftly, what worked last week will not work next week.
