How it works?
With campaign budget optimization tool, advertisers allow Facebook to allocate their budget across ad sets to get the best results for their campaign.

How to set up campaign budget optimization?
During campaign creation:
- Turn on the budget optimization toggle
- Choose if you want your campaign budget to be Daily or Lifetime
- Set a budget
- Choose a campaign bid strategy
- If you select the lowest cost campaign bid strategy without a bid cap, all ad sets in your campaign must have the same optimization event
- If you choose the lowest cost campaign bid strategy with a bid cap or the target cost campaign bid strategy, you can optimize for different results and set different bid caps or cost targets for each ad set
- During ad set creation, you can set spend limits if desired.
Campaign Budget Optimization: Ad Set Level
Once you have your campaign budget and bid strategy set, you’re ready to build out your ad sets.
