In this episode, Nick discuss what may be the biggest Facebook Ads mistake advertisers are making in 2026: trying to control too much.

As Meta's AI and machine learning systems continue to evolve, (particularly following the rollout of Andromeda) many advertisers are still obsessing over audience targeting, placements, budget allocation and constant account tweaks that can actually hinder performance. We explore why giving Meta more freedom often leads to better results, how the platform now makes optimisation decisions faster and more effectively than humans can, and where advertisers should really be focusing their attention instead. If you're running Facebook or Instagram ads and looking to improve performance, scale campaigns and work with the algorithm rather than against it, this episode will help you rethink your approach.

In this episode of Let’s Run Facebook Ads, Nick breaks down Meta’s new creative testing feature and explains how Facebook advertisers can finally force spend behind fresh ad creatives without disrupting winning campaigns. Nick dives into one of the biggest frustrations in Facebook advertising: when Meta’s algorithm quickly picks one or two winning ads and refuses to spend budget on the rest of your creatives.

You’ll learn how to use Meta’s new “test creative” option inside Ads Manager, how to duplicate and test Facebook ads effectively, how to allocate testing budgets and how to structure ad creative experiments for better campaign optimisation and scaling. Nick also shares practical insights into how Meta’s AI-driven algorithm evaluates ad performance, why some ads never get delivery, and how ecommerce brands, lead generation businesses, and media buyers can improve Facebook ad results through smarter creative testing.

If you’re running Meta ads, struggling with ad spend allocation, testing new creatives, improving ROAS, scaling winning campaigns, or getting better performance from your Facebook advertising strategy, this episode gives you a practical walkthrough of how to work with the algorithm instead of fighting against it.

In this episode, we break down the difference between old-school Facebook advertising strategies and the way Meta ads actually work in 2026. A lot of advertisers are still trying to control every part of their ad account with heavy targeting, endless tweaks, and complicated setups, but the platform has changed dramatically. We discuss why traditional Facebook Ads tactics are becoming less effective, how Meta’s algorithm and AI-driven optimisation now play a much bigger role, and what modern advertisers need to focus on instead.

The conversation also covers common mistakes businesses make when scaling Meta ads, why many advertisers panic when performance fluctuates, and how to properly interpret Facebook Ads metrics like CTR, CPC, ROAS, CPA, and conversion data. We explore the shift away from manual media buying and towards simpler, more stable advertising strategies that allow Meta to optimise more effectively.

If you run e-commerce ads, lead generation campaigns or paid social advertising for clients, this episode will help you better understand how Facebook advertising is evolving and what you need to change to stay profitable with Meta ads moving forward.
