Understanding the Game

We start by setting the foundation.
You’ll understand how Meta actually works and how it decides who sees what, how ads are placed, and what makes an ad perform or flop.
We’ll go through:

  • How the algorithm works (auction, delivery, learning phase

  • Campaign structure (campaigns, ad sets, ads)

  • The mindset behind running ads the right way

  • Common mistakes and myths to avoid

By the end of this, you’ll already know more than most “boost-post” advertisers.

We’ll set up everything properly:

  • Business Manager structure and permissions

  • Ad Account, Pixel, and Events setup
