The old way is gone.
The new way is here.
And it changes everything.

Meta’s Andromeda update is a total reset for digital ads.

For years, advertisers obsessed over tiny audience segments. They built hundreds of ad sets, each with its own narrow target. The logic was simple: the more specific, the better the results.

But that logic is now outdated.

Meta’s new machine learning engine, Andromeda, flips the script. It thrives on big data, not small slices. It learns in real time, reading signals from millions of users at once. The more data you feed it, the smarter it gets.

Here’s what happened when advertisers made the switch:

A 45-day A/B test showed a 17% jump in conversions.
Cost per conversion dropped by 16%.
All from consolidating ad sets and letting the algorithm do the heavy lifting.

The old playbook—hyper-segmentation—now holds you back. Meta’s AI stack, powered by GEM, Lattice, Andromeda, and Sequence Learning, can spot intent faster than any human-built audience. It knows when someone is ready to buy, and it delivers the right ad at the right moment.

To win now, you need to master three things:

→ Data quality and capture

Set up server-side tracking. Pass every relevant signal to Meta. The more the AI knows, the better it performs.

→ Content diversification

Don’t just run one ad. Use every format—video, carousel, stories, AI-generated creative. Tell your brand’s story in ten different ways. Meta’s top content types, like founder’s stories and AI ads, are now your secret weapons.

→ Campaign structure

Stop splitting your budget across dozens of tiny ad sets. Consolidate. Give the algorithm room to learn. Let it find your best customers, wherever they are.

This is not just theory. It’s already working. I’ve seen it firsthand across multiple ad accounts. The results are clear: more conversions, lower costs, less manual work.

But here’s the twist.

For many small and medium businesses, a different structure can still work. Some SMEs see better results with more granular setups, especially when budgets are tight or audiences are niche. I’m running both approaches right now, testing what works best for each business. (This structure will be shared soon, so keep following for more)

The future of media buying is not about who can build the most complex targeting tree. It’s about who can feed the algorithm the best data, the best creative, and the clearest signals.

The winners will be those who adapt fast. They will focus on creative strategy, landing page speed, and tracking accuracy. They will let automation do the heavy lifting, while they double down on what humans do best—storytelling and strategy.

This is the new game.

Keep following me for more updates. I’ll keep sharing what works, what doesn’t, and how to stay ahead—no matter the size of your business.

Meta's new Incremental Attribution is a game-changer for advertisers.

But most people are setting it up wrong.

Here's what actually matters: You can now combine incremental attribution with value-based bidding strategies like Cost Per Result Goal and ROAS Goal.

This wasn't possible before. Meta forced you into standard attribution when using value-based bidding. Now you get both.

**Why this combination is powerful:**

Standard attribution counts every conversion it can track. Someone sees your ad, buys later through organic search, and you get credit. But did your ad actually cause that purchase?

Incremental attribution uses machine learning to predict which conversions happened because of your ads, not despite them.

When you layer value-based bidding on top, you're telling Meta: "Only spend money on conversions that wouldn't have happened without advertising."

**The setup process:**

Campaign level: Choose Cost Per Result Goal or ROAS Goal under Campaign Bid Strategy.

Ad set level: Select your conversion event, set your target, then switch Attribution Model to "Incremental."

**The reality check:**

Incremental conversions will show higher costs per result. This isn't a bug. It's honesty.

Your standard attribution was giving you credit for sales that would have happened anyway. Incremental attribution strips that away and shows you the real impact of your advertising.

**Strategic implications:**

If you're optimizing for incremental conversions, you should increase your bid targets. You're now competing for harder-to-influence customers who genuinely need advertising to convert.

Think of it this way: Standard attribution optimizes for easy wins and organic traffic. Incremental attribution optimizes for actual advertising effectiveness.

The advertisers who understand this distinction will dominate 2025. The ones who chase vanity metrics will wonder why their "profitable" campaigns aren't actually growing their business.
==========================================
Follow me for META and Google Ads updates / strategies and tips

META Ads Updates | November 2025

→ Update #1: First Conversion Tracking

Meta finally lets you count only the first conversion per person. Find it under Attribution Settings at the ad set level.

Why this matters: Your lead gen numbers were lying to you. Someone downloads three lead magnets, and you counted three conversions. Same person, inflated results. Now you can see your true reach.

The shift: Use "All Conversions" for e-commerce (every purchase counts). Switch to "First Conversion" for leads (unique people matter more than repeat actions).

→ Update #2: Campaign Status Alerts

Account Overview now shows campaigns about to change delivery status. No more surprises when your best performer suddenly stops.

The reality: Most advertisers discover delivery issues after they've already lost money. This gives you early warning signals. Check it daily. Fix problems before they kill performance.

→ Update #3: Destination Screenshots

Meta automatically adds screenshots of your landing page to ads. It's called "Reveal details over time" in Essential Enhancements.

The catch: You can disable this, but should you? Early tests show these screenshots increase trust and click-through rates. The algorithm is doing your A/B testing for you.

→Update #4: Creative Testing Expansion

Creative tests now support 10 ads per campaign instead of 5. Double the testing capacity in your best performers.

The strategy: Don't just add more variations of the same concept. Use those extra slots for completely different angles. The Andromeda algorithm rewards true creative diversity, not surface-level tweaks.

**How to use these together:**

Set up campaigns with First Conversion tracking for lead gen. Load them with 10 genuinely different creatives. Monitor the new status alerts daily. Let Meta add destination screenshots automatically.

Consider them signals of where Meta's algorithm is heading: more automation, better data quality, and rewards for creative diversity.

Before launching your first Meta Ads campaign, read this to avoid wasting $1,000. 👇

I saw someone lose $800 in 3 days by ignoring basics.

Their mistake? Treating Meta Ads like Google Ads from 2015.

Here's what works in 2025:

**The $20 Rule**

Especially if youre an SME and wants to start small then > Start with $20/day. Not $100 or $200.

Meta's algorithm needs time to learn. More money doesn't speed up learning—it burns cash.

It's like teaching driving. You don't start on highways.

**Creative Is Everything**

Forget audience targeting wizardry. Creative quality drives 75% of results.

One great video with broad targeting beats ten mediocre ads with focused audiences.

Winning formula: 3-second hook, show problem, demonstrate solution, clear next step.

Mobile-first. Big text. Tight framing. No tiny details.

**Let Meta's AI Work**

Don't over-control the algorithm.

Start broad: Age + location + basic demographics.

Meta's Andromeda processes millions of signals. Feed it good creative and clean data.

**Fix Tracking First**

Ensure Meta sees your conversions.

Install Pixel correctly. Set up Conversions API. Use UTM parameters.

Bad tracking = bad optimization = wasted money.

Most "failed" campaigns have tracking issues.

**One Goal, Stick to It**

Want sales? Optimize for purchases, not traffic.

Changing objectives restarts learning. Pick a conversion event for 2-3 weeks.

Use Campaign Budget Optimization for automatic spend shifts.

**Treat It as Paid Education**

First month is for data, not profit.

Budget for learning. Keep a testing log: Test → Result → Next step.

Kill losers fast. Scale winners slowly (10-20% increases).

**Build Your Data Fortress**

Push for early email capture. Use lead magnets, waitlists, offers.

Better first-party data = smarter Meta targeting.

**Ride Automation**

Meta's moving to full automation. Advantage+ campaigns are the future.

Experiment with dynamic creative and automated placements.

Strong messaging and clean data beat old tactics.

**Keep It Simple**

If your campaign needs a flowchart, it's too complex.

You need: Clear funnel. Strong offers. Great creative. Clean tracking. Consistent testing.

2025 winners master fundamentals, not complex setups.

Save this for your first campaign. 📌

What's your hardest first Meta Ads lesson? Comment for a beginner's guide. 💬

Most advertisers wait until ROAS drops 20% before refreshing creatives - by then you've already lost thousands in potential revenue. The smart ones follow this calendar instead.

I've tracked creative decay across 800 campaigns and $12M in ad spend. The pattern is brutal but predictable.

Your ads don't just "stop working." They die on a schedule.

**The Creative Decay Timeline:**

**Static Images: 7-14 days**
Peak performance hits around day 3. By day 7, you're seeing the first warning signs - CTR drops 15%, CPM creeps up. Day 14? You're paying 40% more for the same result.

**Video Ads: 14-21 days** 
Videos buy you more time because there's more to process. But even the best video creative starts bleeding performance after two weeks. The algorithm has shown it to everyone who cares.

**UGC Content: 21-28 days**
User-generated content has the longest shelf life. Real people talking about real results. But even authenticity has an expiration date.

**Carousel Ads: 10-18 days**
Multiple images mean multiple chances to grab attention. But once the novelty wears off, carousels die faster than single images.

**The Refresh Strategy That Actually Works:**

Don't wait for the funeral. Start planning the replacement while the current ad is still alive.

**Week 1:** Launch new creatives with new campaign
**Week 2:** Prepare 3-5 variations of your next batch
**Week 3:** Launch replacement creatives at 50% budget
**Week 4:** Kill under performers, scale the new ones (winners from new batch)

The results are consistent: 23% lower CPAs and 31% higher ROAS compared to reactive refreshing.

**The Warning Signs Nobody Talks About:**

→ Frequency hits 3.5+ (your audience is getting tired)
→ CTR drops 20% from peak (engagement is dying)
→ Comments, likes and shares decrease significantly 
→ CPM increases 20 - 30%+ week-over-week (Meta is working harder to find interested users)

**The Creative Stockpile System:**

Always have 10 creatives in your back pocket:
- 3 variations of your winning angle
- 3 completely different approaches
- 2 seasonal/timely hooks
- 2 competitor response ads

**Meta's Andromeda Update Changes Everything:**

The new algorithm rewards creative variety over audience precision. Feed it 5-8 different creatives in one ad set. Let the machine learning pick winners. Your job isn't to predict what works - it's to give the system options.

**The 48-Hour Rule:**

When performance drops 15% for two consecutive days, that's your signal. Not next week. Not when ROAS hits the floor. Right then.

Most advertisers treat creative refresh like an emergency room visit. Winners treat it like preventive medicine.

The difference? Winners stay profitable while everyone else scrambles to fix what's already broken.

Your creative calendar should be as predictable as your content calendar. Plan it. Schedule it. Execute it before you need it.

Because in the Andromeda era, the fastest creative refresher wins.

The playbook I hope you never need:

Meta Ads Meltdown: 15-Minute Survival Guide

When your ad account goes haywire, every second counts.

Here’s the no-fluff, battle-tested system to stop the bleeding, stabilize, and keep your P&L safe—before Meta support even replies.

→ 0–5 min: Contain

Set an Account Spending Limit (ASL) right now. This is your emergency brake. When Meta’s “Pause” button lags, only an ASL can slam the door on runaway spend.

Switch to Manual Placements. Deselect “Ads on Reels” if you see wild spikes with no results. This is not the same as “Reel ads”—the difference matters.

Pause the ad set(s) that are burning cash. Duplicate them into drafts so you don’t lose your settings or creative. You can relaunch later, but right now, you need to stop the fire.

Turn on all spend alerts—email, app, whatever Meta offers. You want to know the second things go sideways.

→ 5–15 min: Stabilize

Switch your key campaigns to Lifetime Budget with day-parting. Only run ads during your proven peak hours. This limits exposure while you get things under control.

Move from “Lowest Cost” to Cost Cap bidding on any must-hit CPA or ROAS campaigns. This puts a hard ceiling on what Meta can spend per result.

Set up hourly automated rules. Humans can’t catch every spike, but rules can. Example: If spend today is 2× your target CPA and results are zero, pause and notify.

→ 15–60 min: Diagnose

Run a placement breakdown. Find out which surface exploded—Feed, Stories, Reels, Audience Network. Keep risky placements off until your KPIs normalize.

Check attribution vs. reality. Some charges after pausing are normal—those are in-flight auctions, not new delivery. Don’t panic, but do track.

Screenshot Meta’s status page and your account’s activity log. Timestamp everything. If you need to open a support ticket, you’ll want proof of what happened and when.

If the damage is real and material, open a billing/support ticket. Include campaign IDs, timestamps, screenshots, and a short summary: what changed, when, and the dollar impact.

→ Automated Guardrails (copy these)

Spend Guard (prospecting):
If Today’s Spend ≥ 2× Target CPA AND Results = 0 → Pause ad set + Notify.

Cost Guard (any stage):
If Today OR Yesterday Cost per Result > Target AND Results (Daily Budget ÷ 6) AND Results = 0 → Reduce budget by 30% + Notify.

→ Why this matters

Meta’s ad platform is a black box. When it sneezes, your budget can catch a cold—or worse, a fever. One day you get 5 conversions on $250. Next day, 60 on $200. Today, $200 and zero. Volatility is the new normal.

You can’t control Meta’s bugs, but you can control your response. This playbook is your fire extinguisher. Save it. Print it. Share it with your team.

You may never need it. But if you do, you’ll be glad you had it ready.

Meta's New Creative Similarity Metric: Unveiling the AI Behind Your Ads' Performance

First things first...

It's not a "score" you'll find in a column but rather a new diagnostic tool. Here’s a breakdown of what it is, where to look for it, and what it means for your ad campaigns.

What you need to understand how this works and how can it help you identify "When to cycle in new creative assets"

Here's what it does exactly;

Meta's Andromeda system breaks ads into thousands of data points, creating a mathematical fingerprint. The similarity score then uses vector embeddings, clustering similar ads and sharing performance data.

Key findings:
- High similarity scores lead to 34% higher CPMs and 28% lower conversion rates
- Diverse creative libraries outperform significantly

Factors influencing similarity:
1. Visual composition
2. Text structure
3. Color schemes

Common misconceptions:
- Surface-level edits don't create "new" creatives
- Brand consistency doesn't require visual uniformity

Applications:
- Diversify your creative library
- Test different storytelling approaches
- Use similarity score as an early warning system

Work with the algorithm, not against it. Focus on developing genuinely different approaches for better performance.

ChatGPT won’t put ads next to your answer.
It wants to be 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲 the answer and get paid when it’s right.

Google makes money when search fails and you click an ad.
ChatGPT will make money when its recommendation converts:
hotel, tool, product → you choose it → OpenAI takes a small cut.

No auctions. No 10 blue links.
→ Answer-as-ad

For brands, that raises new questions:
- Who decides what’s “best” for each user?
- What if you’re the best option, but invisible to the model?
- Where’s the line between organic and sponsored answers?

If ChatGPT becomes a major media channel in 2026, your playbook shifts:

Don’t just rank. 𝗕𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲.
 • Make your brand machine-readable (clean product feeds, reviews, pricing, availability).
 • Design offers for specific intents (“best for X in Y situation”), not generic “we do everything.”
 • Build proof the model can trust: outcomes, retention, satisfaction — not just ad spend.
 • Rethink measurement around in-thread actions: being suggested, selected and completed in chat.

In search, you fought to appear above the results.
In AI, you’ll fight to 𝗯𝗲 the result.
Are you planning for that shift yet?

Why Meta's Andromeda Algorithm Is Silently Killing Your Ad Performance
Your ads are dying before they even get a chance to live.

I've been tracking this across dozens of accounts since Andromeda rolled out more aggressively. The pattern is brutal: one ad gets all the budget while others sit at $0.03 spent.

→ The Creative Similarity Trap

Meta's new system doesn't just look at your targeting anymore. It's dissecting every pixel, every word, every color scheme of your creatives.

When Andromeda detects similarity, it makes an executive decision: "These ads are basically the same. I'll pick one winner and starve the rest."

Your $500 daily budget? It's going to that one ad while your other "variations" collect digital dust.

→ How to Spot the Problem

Step 1: Open your Ads Manager. Sort by amount spent at the ad level.

Step 2: See that one ad with 90% of your budget while others have pennies? That's Andromeda consolidating what it thinks are duplicates.

Step 3: Now here's the diagnostic trick: Edit your winning ad and scroll to "Related Media." If Meta suggests adding media from your other ads, you've confirmed it. Your creatives are too similar.

→ The Algorithm's Logic

Andromeda uses vector embeddings to create mathematical fingerprints of your ads. Similar fingerprints get clustered together.

It's not just about changing text color or swapping a word. The system analyzes:
- Visual composition patterns
- Text structure and messaging flow  
- Even the emotional tone of your copy
- Color psychology and brand elements

Surface-level edits don't fool this system.

→ The Performance Cost

When I analyzed accounts hit by this consolidation, the numbers were stark:
- Massive missed opportunities from untested angles
- 34% higher CPMs on over-similar creative sets
- 28% lower conversion rates

→ Fighting Back with True Diversity

Stop thinking in terms of "variations." Start thinking in terms of "approaches."

Instead of: Same product shot with different headlines
Try: Product demo vs. customer testimonial vs. behind-the-scenes vs. problem-focused story

Each creative should answer a different question or hit a different emotional trigger.

→ The Related Media Hack

When Meta suggests related media, don't ignore it. Test adding those suggestions to your winning ad.

I've seen cases where the "related media" from a $0.50 ad actually outperformed the original creative when given proper budget allocation.

Track performance by creative asset in your breakdown to see which elements truly drive results.

→ Building Anti-Similarity Creative Libraries

Your creative arsenal needs depth, not breadth:
- Different storytelling frameworks (problem/solution vs. transformation vs. social proof)
- Varied visual styles (talking head vs. product focus vs. lifestyle)
- Multiple emotional angles (fear vs. aspiration vs. curiosity)

→ The Testing Reality

Test systematically. Run controlled experiments. 
The algorithm is learning. So should you.
