1. The Deadly Red Line of Budget Adjustment: Every Operation Affects the Algorithm

Based on monitoring data from over 100,000 ad accounts managed by EasyAd AI Advertising Manager, Facebook ad budget adjustments exhibit a clear threshold effect. When the daily budget adjustment exceeds 20%, 67.3% of ad sets experience a fluctuation period with ROAS dropping by over 15%, requiring an average of 3-5 days to restore original performance.

1.2 Special Scenario Handling Solutions

For ad sets with initial budgets exceeding $50, EasyAd's intelligent diagnostic system found that directly doubling the budget has a failure rate as high as 82%. In such cases, the stepwise scaling method should be adopted:

  1. First-day amplitude control within 15%
  2. After maintaining stable ROAS for 3 consecutive days, increase by 10-15%
  3. Upon reaching target budget, enable automatic rules to monitor CPA fluctuations

2. The Decision Tree for Scaling During Learning Phase: How to Judge When Data Is Insufficient

When an ad set is still in the learning phase (<50 conversions) but continues to generate orders, whether to increase the budget requires comprehensive calculation:

Minimum budget threshold = Target CPA × 50 (Facebook official recommendation). For example, when target CPA is $10, ensure the account has at least $500 for system exploration.

2.1 Profit Margin Evaluation Model

Through EasyAd's ROI simulator, quick calculations can be made:

  • If product gross margin ≥40%, can tolerate 20% CPA increase
  • For gross margin 20-40%, recommend setting CPA alert thresholds
  • For gross margin <20%, strictly control scaling amplitude

3. Emergency Solutions for System Reset: When Scaling Leads to Performance Decline

When encountering sudden ROAS drops, 90% of advertisers make these three mistakes: immediately reducing budget, frequently modifying creatives, and prematurely shutting down ads. In fact, the correct response process should be:

  1. 72-hour observation period: Record hourly changes in key metrics
  2. Diagnostic tool intervention: Use EasyAd AI diagnosis to check if learning phase reset was triggered
  3. Dual-track strategy: Keep original ad set while testing new audience groups

3.1 Cross-Validation of Creative Fatigue

Through EasyAd Creative Factory's fatigue detection module, real-time findings include:

  • When single creative impressions >50,000, CTR drop probability increases by 300%
  • Video ads with <40% 3-second completion rate require immediate optimization
  • Dynamic Creative Optimization (DCO) can reduce fatigue risk by 65%
