Step Five
Monitor & Optimize

After launching your campaign:

  1. Wait for the Learning Phase (7-10 days):
    • Meta needs ~50 "Subscribe" events per week to optimize
    • Don't make changes during learning phase
    • Campaign status will show "Learning" → "Active"
  2. Verify Events in Meta Events Manager:
    • Check that you're receiving PageView, landing_page_button_clicked, Subscribe, Contact, Lead, Purchase events
    • Event Match Quality should be 8.0+
    • Look for "Conversions API" badge on events (server-side working)
  3. Track Performance Here:
  4. Optimize After Learning Phase:
    • Increase budget by max 20% every 3 days
    • Test new creatives (images/videos)
    • Duplicate winning ad sets
    • Create Lookalike Audiences from subscribers

That’s the full playbook
