My Ad Account is only about three months old. I have never once seen a "Learning" status. My Ad Sets always go from (In Review), Processing then Active. I'm not sure what to make of that.
@normentpeter965 yes this, both your ad set and ad needs to learn. You can be out of the learning phase on an ad set but your ad can still be learning
Yes he is right I changed a lot in my sales compaign last week and sales dropped and was bleeding money , so just add the ads and let it get out of learning phase and then only change may be after a week , one thing more is people who visited my website I retarget them thru a sales campaign and there is no converstion only add to carts .... Well may be I have to hit the logical mind with case studies and proofs. May be it will work. Next week. Also the new ai automatically retargets your website visitor , with other ads ,bcz ai is very smart it knows money is in retargetting , so I keep on adding ads last week and darn it sales dropped as Ben says donot engage with your campaign if it's in learning phase.
Ben, my campaigns don't go into the learning phase anymore but, I'm not getting sales. I've tried different creatives in the span of 6 months but it has not been good. Even when there are sales the cost per purchase is so high that makes me rethink everything.
@@saintemmanuel5969 yes of course I'm, with meta's new update, i can only use advantage+ audience any demographics interests & behaviours i add are merely taken as a suggestion.
Assuming you're targeting the right audience, using good ad copy written by a Copywriter, good image and video creative, consider this: Do you have an effective funnel and compelling offer in place?
Learning phase isn't real. It's just meta's way of telling you that if you have a low volume of data for your chosen conversion event, and your ads wont be able to optimise as well as if you had more data. And its there to encourage you to consolidate your campaign structure (or at least it was, it's gone from most new accounts).
Thanks for the update! Does this mean with the new rollout if you don't hit that 10 conversion events in 3 days you go into learning limited sooner, where your ad can get stuck never being able to learn?
I’m confused I was aware of the learning phase but my campaigns don’t say learning they say active only 2 hours after publishing the campaign and not even having a single conversion
What if you ads never show up as being in the Learning Phase? My ads have always been delivered as Active from day one. If I make changes, it stays as Active. Is there a time when Facebook accidentally doesn’t put you in the Learning Phase?
I'm getting this messages for a new ad, in the learning phase - "The content you requested cannot be displayed right now. It may be temporarily unavailable, the link you clicked on may have expired, or you may not have permission to view this page." Is this common for an ad in the learning phase?
I started doing Facebook ads a few months ago. I’ve always had daily budgets within £10-50. However, none have stated being in the “learning phase”. They just say ‘processing’ then ‘active’ after delivering. Is this learning phase a metaphoric or does it actually say ‘learning phase’ in peoples ad accounts? Thanks.
Yes it does actually say "learning phase" where You're currently seeing "active" being written. And the learning phase depends upon the campaign objective and Your performance goal.
Also just wanted to mention, I see a lot of people thinking not being in the learning phase is a bad thing. Absolutely not! Just consider Yourself lucky if Your ads go directly to being active. It just means facebook has understood who Your target audience is and is now showing Your ads to them.
Thank you for the video ! So if we don't make 10 purchases in 3 days (because of the high value of the products), is it better to optimzize "add to cart" if we reach the 10 conversions in 3 days?
what if I duplicate a winning Adset into a new independant campaign, would that affect the results if I did it at the learning phase of the original campaign ?
Instead of duplicating during the learning phase, wait until the original campaign exits learning. After that, use the duplicate to test a variable (e.g., different budget, slight audience tweak).
Has this launched yet? I'm still seeing the 50 conversions needed for my ads that are in the learning phase. Do I need to create a new campaign or adset to have this happen? Edit: Nvm got to 10:51 in the vid :P
So i was wondering for something else (your new campaign structure - one campaign for COLD and other for the WARM audience), after some time when the camaigns produced some result and after optimizing, do you turn off one of the campaigns, because in most of the scenarious the retarget will perform better then the cold one - so do you turn the cold off or just lower the budget and optimize it more? If someone could explain to me I will greatly appreciate it : )
It's a shame that the mastery ad course is a subscription and doesnt have the option for a fixed price. £97 per month is a bit too much... Maybe not for big companies, but those hire agencies anyway.
Hi @Ben, thank you very much for this informative video. One question though, you said moving forward we could likely do campaign optimisation in 3 days from 7 days before. But istthat attribution window also play a role here ? For eg: if we are in 7DC window, and launched an ad today. Isn’t adviceble to wait until 7days before we make any changes? That would be good to know! Thanks and Looking forward to more such videos.
I have 20 conversions out of 10 (20/10) and it's still in learning phase 😂. It seems like they're experimenting on this from a while as it appeared in my account 6 months ago and then disappeared again until it's showing now.
@@kojoefante It should exit the learning phase after 10 conversions but still it's in learning phase after 20. That means it still needs 50 conversions or more to exit the learning phase. It's funny because they do these weird changes which don't make any sense.
Thank you for the update.... So, with a small budget, I could target Add To Cart instead of Purchase, get 10 in three days to get out of learning, wait a day - oh, if I change the target to Purchase, it'll go back into learning. Dang.
Hey ben, what performance goal should i set if my funnel goes like this; Ad > landing page > WhatsApp (where i eventually make my pitch)? Context: how can it be tracked with my pixel, since i don't have an opt-in or form?
hey talem, there is nothing u can use the pixel for. U place a pixel on a website. if there is no website, there is no use for a pixel. but for example, if you just want to send people to an instant form, you dont need a pixel, since the information is being captured from facebook within the platform. but if you dont have a website. you dont have to bother creating a pixel yet. hope that helps
You don't. The pixel will grab the data only for people who reach Your website (where the pixel is integrated). If You need any more clarification, just hit me up on WhatsApp at 9101419826
Ideally, You would want to run ads on their own ad account (for which You'll require the access to). You'd then go ahead and create the pixel on their business portfolio, integrate it on their website, and then connect it to the ad account on Meta
And for integrating the pixel on their website, You'd need to grab the pixel code from Meta, give it to their developer, and ask them to paste it in the header section of every page of the website
@@MrXepicfaceX Honestly, I can't give You a blanket statement for that. Your campaign objective will completely depend on what You're trying to (specifically) achieve through the ads and how it aligns with Your overall marketing strategy.
@@bishalmazumdar4628 Say for like a boba place I’m trying to get more customers for the business and I offer a deal like maybe a bogo deal for the ad etc, what would be a good campaign for that?
Hello Ben , I wanna ask regarding the new flexible format that meta has released recently. If you have given ago , we would like to listen to your prespective
It seems like Meta has reverted it back to the 0/50 optimization events needed to exit the learning phase, the 0/10 just disappeared on all of my ad accounts that have it. Anyone having the same experience?
Hello Ben, I recently came across your work. What you do is brilliant. 👌🏽 Thank you for that. I'm new to the Meta business and currently trying to build a clothing brand. I'm planning to start with €20 a day on ads. I have already created an Advantage+ campaign. However, Meta is telling me that it will achieve zero purchases, which makes me hesitant to launch the campaign. Do you have any tips?
Provided you're sure of your targeting if you manually set it...and every other thing us intact, launch your campaign. Facebook also tells me that sometimes.
That can happen in ad accounts that have significant conversion data already. I wouldn't worry about it. The same thing will be happening behind the scenes.
@@BenHeath No, this happens to new accounts. Mine did this at first then once it had spend behind it it went into learning all of a sudden. Same thing is happening with a client- New account no conversions, once he spent 2k it goes into learning mode just like mine.
Also learning phase is not machine learning. 50 events is very small sample size. Ai needs millions to properly train. What it is instead adjusting preferences of already trained model
It was previously 50 events in 7 days, not in a month. 10 in 3 is significantly less. Plus you only need to go through the learning phase once, not every three days.
I honestly don't think the "learning phase" is a real thing. Campaigns and ads are always learning (it's not even present on most new ad accounts). I think meta chooses to communicate and make recommendations based on the learning phase because it's easy for most advertisers to understand. However, all they're really trying to do is encourage consolidation across the ad account, so that their machine learning algorithms can function more effectively, due to the higher density of data. What this change really reflects is that the algorithms are getting smarter and are able to optimise better on less data, and in less time.
yes, and I think the learning phase is also a great way to extract a lil more money from the advertisers without blaming the algorithm. Fb has the smartest algorithms, they know just by reading your landingpage and with some pixel data exactly what your target audience is and you probably could reach your goals faster, however I understand that it's still important for the ML to know what ads work specifically work with your product/design/offer/niche.
He likes to talk and make things more complicated than it has to be so he can fill up his channel with content. This entire video is useless. It’s an update about fb that you can’t do nothing about and is no use knowing

the best thing to do is hiding delivery column from the metrics to not see learning phase ever 😁😁

Happy to help :)
My Ad Account is only about three months old. I have never once seen a "Learning" status. My Ad Sets always go from (In Review), Processing then Active. I'm not sure what to make of that.

Mine is showing the learning process phase ... might be only rolling out to some accounts for now?
Check all 3, campaign adset and creative column
@normentpeter965 yes this, both your ad set and ad needs to learn. You can be out of the learning phase on an ad set but your ad can still be learning
Same problem happing with me too

Thank you so much for this update! Literally a gift sent from above!
My learning phase is still 50 conversions/ week. Do you know why?
Same here!
What are your thoughts on adding new ads into the adset regularly? Like daily, vs weekly vs monthly instead of editing the adset directly?
Ben, my campaigns don't go into the learning phase anymore but, I'm not getting sales. I've tried different creatives in the span of 6 months but it has not been good. Even when there are sales the cost per purchase is so high that makes me rethink everything.
Targeting the right audience?
@@saintemmanuel5969 yes of course I'm, with meta's new update, i can only use advantage+ audience any demographics interests & behaviours i add are merely taken as a suggestion.
It’s mainly your offer, which is your product/service which has less demand in market.
Assuming you're targeting the right audience, using good ad copy written by a Copywriter, good image and video creative, consider this:
Do you have an effective funnel and compelling offer in place?
It's the product, Offer, or last - Website
its still 50 in 7 days on my account, is this only in USA now?
I just increased my budget by 5% and threw all my adsets into learning today. That’s never happened in our account
I've had it happen for 3%
Happens all the time. So annoying
how long for the learning phase to come out, before you can make changes, what if it does not come out?
I've never seen my ads go into a learning phase, they always just say active...
mine too
I am also having same problem
my also
Do on off again and again your ad and make changes or edit your ad. if you want to see LEARNING
@@zaidgodil3271 Doesn't make a difference. My ads never show learning no matter how many edits I make.
My ads & adsets always go straight to active without ever showing the 'learning' status on the delivery column. Why is this?
what kind of objective do you use?
same with me
Learning phase isn't real. It's just meta's way of telling you that if you have a low volume of data for your chosen conversion event, and your ads wont be able to optimise as well as if you had more data.

Any new changes You've seen recently? Particularly for the learning phase
