You can optimize your ads for the following objectives:
• The more conversions your ad campaign gets, the more likely people are to convert. If someone engages with your ad, you only get charged when they convert.
• When your ad is optimized for landing page views, Facebook shows it to audiences that are most likely to click it.
• Your Facebook ad will be displayed to people likely to click your link if you optimize your ad campaign for link clicks. Ads are only charged if they are clicked.

This tool allows you to see if your ad bidding strategy is causing your advertising costs to rise or fall. Make adjustments and improvements to your bid strategy as a result of using this tool.
Consider using the lowest-cost bid strategy
There is no manual effort or control required with Facebook's default bid strategy. As a result of this bid strategy, Facebook automatically calls the shots on your behalf to get you the most results possible for your ad budget.
The best results are achieved by combining a low-cost bid strategy with some manual controls, such as:
• Instead of letting Facebook determine your value or cost goals, you can set a maximum bid for all auctions.
• With this Facebook bid strategy option, you can instruct Facebook how to bid on your behalf regardless of market conditions. Choosing this option will allow Facebook to deliver the best results for you while still keeping costs within your set limits.
Duplicate existing ad campaigns
When bidding with a limited budget, consider duplicating an existing ad campaign rather than increasing your investment. Avoid audience overlap by keeping elements like ad copy, landing page, placements, etc.
Challenge your competitors with a higher bid
The most successful Facebook ads are those with high bids, high estimated action rates, and high-quality ads.
Therefore, a high ad bidding strategy makes sense since it provides you with better engagement and lets audiences see your ad.
