Which Meta Ads creative performs best?

The best Meta Ads creative is the one with the lowest cost per result or highest purchase ROAS against ads in the same ad set, with enough spend to trust it. Adstudio ranks ads within each ad set, adds Meta's quality, engagement-rate and conversion-rate rankings, and shows the creative so you can see why it wins.

The numbers that matter

What to read first.

Cost per result by ad
Within one ad set, so the audience is the same.
Purchase ROAS by ad
For Sales ad sets.
Conversion rate ranking
Meta's own comparison with competing ads.
Video ThruPlays and completion
For video creatives, how far people watch.

The method

How to break it down.

  1. 01Rank ads inside each ad set by the ad set's goal.
  2. 02Check spend: a winner on a tiny budget is not proven.
  3. 03Compare formats separately: image, video, carousel, catalog.
  4. 04Look at the winner's hook, offer and format.

How Adstudio answers it

FAQ

Questions people also ask.

It can, but it tells you when the audiences differ, because that makes the comparison weaker.
