Ads Launch & Pixels

The goal of these campaigns is to drive users through your Web2App funnel - from clicking an ad, completing a quiz, viewing a paywall, and finally converting to a paid subscription. Facebook (Meta) Ads are a powerful channel for this when combined with smart tracking and proper event optimization.

🧩 Step 1: Add UTM Tags to Track Campaign Performance

Before launching any campaign, always add UTM tags to track traffic sources accurately. These tags will help you analyze results in tools like Amplitude, GA4, and your internal dashboards.

✅ Recommended UTM Link Format

Here’s a suggested structure for UTM tags in Meta Ads:

• utm_source=facebook: Source of the traffic

• utm_medium=cpc: Cost per click (paid)

• utm_campaign={{campaign.name}}: Dynamic value for your campaign

• utm_adset={{adset.name}}: Dynamic value for ad set

• utm_ad={{ad.name}}: Dynamic value for individual ad

Tip: Replace your-web2app-domain.com/quiz-name with your actual quiz funnel URL.

🚀 Step 2: Choose One of Two Campaign Strategies

You can launch campaigns using one or both strategies depending on your goals and budget.

---

Strategy 1: Optimize forPurchase Event (Long-Term Scaling)

📌 Objective:

Train Meta Pixel to find people most likely to purchase a subscription.

🛠 How to Set It Up:

1. Conversion Event: Purchase
2. Audience: Broad targeting
   • Location: e.g., United States
   • Gender: e.g., Women
   • Age: 30+
   • No interests or behaviors
3. Ad Set Structure:
   • 1 Ad Set
   • Add 15–20 creatives per ad set to give Meta room to optimize
4. Budget: Start with ~$100/day or more for faster pixel learning.
5. Expectations:
   • The campaign may burn $500-$1,500 before the pixel learns.
   • Once trained, this method leads to more profitable scaling.

🎯 When to Use:

• You’re confident in your funnel’s performance.
• You want to train the Meta pixel to identify purchase behavior.

Strategy 2: Optimize for Early Event (Fast Testing)

📌 Objective:

Test the funnel with faster feedback at a lower cost.

🛠 How to Set It Up:

1. Conversion Event: CompleteRegistration (which means “visited paywall”)
2. Audience: Same broad targeting (United States, Women 30+, no interests)
3. Ad Set:
   • Include 10-15 creatives
4. Budget: You can start from $20–$50/day.
5. Expectations:
   • You’ll get quicker data about quiz completions and paywall visits.
   • Doesn’t require deep pixel learning.

🔄 Later Step:

Once you validate that the funnel converts well, switch campaign optimization from CompleteRegistration to Purchase.

⚖️ You Can Use Both Strategies Simultaneously

For best results:

• Run Strategy 1 to begin pixel training and build long-term value.
• Run Strategy 2 to test funnels quickly and adjust based on early signals.

Meta Ads platform will independently optimize both based on their objectives.

🎨 Creative Recommendations

• Use 20+ diverse creatives (image, video, text variations) to increase learning.
• Emphasize clear benefit, app use case, or outcome (“Take this 2-minute quiz to improve your focus”, etc.).
• Include a strong call-to-action (“Start your quiz”, “Find out now”, etc.).
• Test short and long captions and different aspect ratios (1:1, 4:5, 9:16).

📈 Additional Tips for Success

• Warm up your Pixel: Install Meta Pixel early and verify events are firing properly.
• Retargeting Setup: Once you’ve received traffic, launch retargeting campaigns to users who visited but didn’t convert.
• Frequency Capping: Monitor ad frequency to avoid ad fatigue.
• Split Testing: Use A/B tests to compare funnel variants or copy angles.

✅ Final Checklist Before Launch

• Meta Pixel installed and events firing
• Quiz URL uses proper UTM tags
• Conversion events mapped in Ads Manager
• Creatives uploaded and approved
• Broad audience with no targeting constraints
• Budget allocated for learning phase
• Optionally: two campaigns - one for CompleteRegistration, one for Purchase
