FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How do you run an A/B test on Meta ads?
Change one variable at a time, split budget evenly, run until each variant has enough results, and judge on cost per lead and lead quality.
Which metric matters most?
Cost per qualified lead. Cheap leads that never convert are not a win.
What should we test first?
Usually the offer and the opening line of the ad, then creative format, audience and the lead form.
Can you test on a small budget?
Yes, with fewer tests, larger differences between variants and enough time for each to collect results.
Do you run ads for Indian businesses?
Yes, I work with businesses in Hyderabad, Telangana and across India.
