ABO
Ad Set Budget Optimization — budgets set at the ad-set level instead of the campaign. Gives manual control over which audiences get spend; best for testing.
ABO (Ad Set Budget Optimization) is a Meta campaign structure where you set budgets at the ad-set level rather than the campaign level. Each ad set has its own daily budget and spends independently of others in the same campaign.
When to use ABO:
- Creative and audience testing: ABO gives each test a guaranteed spend floor, so you can actually read the data without Meta starving the test before you learn anything.
- Manual winners-scaling: When you've identified a winner and want to feed it specifically.
ABO is usually the right starting structure while you're learning what works. Once you have 3-5 proven winners, operators often graduate to CBO to let Meta allocate between them.
