Meta Ads · Age and gender

Which age and gender converts best on Meta Ads?

Meta Ads reports results by age range and gender for every ad set, so the best group is the one with the lowest cost per result or highest ROAS there. Adstudio splits by age, gender or both together, and can also split by customer segment — existing customers, engaged audience and new people — as your ad account defines them.

The numbers that matter

What to read first.

Cost per result by age and gender
Where results come cheapest.
Purchase ROAS by age
Older groups often buy more per order; ROAS shows it.
Purchases by customer segment
How much of the result comes from people who already bought.
