How does the Facebook ad auction work?

Here’s an overview of the steps you’ll take leading up to the Facebook ad auction:

  • Log into Facebook Ad Manager to create a campaign and ad
  • Choose your daily budget (or the maximum you’ll spend each day)
  • Select what actions you’ll pay for (views, clicks, or downloads)
  • Build your audience using demographic, interest, and device targeting options
  • Add your ad copy, images, and/or video
  • Approve your ad and get ready to launch!

Once there’s a chance to show an ad, it’s time for the Facebook ad auction to begin. To land an ad spot, Facebook evaluates ads based on certain criteria:

  • Ad bid
  • Ad quality
  • Ad relevance
  • Ad’s estimated action rate

When you optimize for these metrics, you can potentially lower how much your Facebook ads cost.
