I've seen mixed opinions on this topic.
Some advertisers believe older ad accounts benefit from having more historical data, while others think campaign setup and optimization matter much more than account age.
Based on your experience:
- Have you noticed any difference?
- Or do you think account age has little impact?

I'd appreciate hearing real experiences rather than assumptions.

In my experience it's less about raw age and more about spend history and consistency, an older account with sporadic activity doesn't seem to outperform a newer one that ramps up spend steadily. Campaign structure and creative testing still matter far more than the account's birthday.
 
Campaign setup matters more than mere account age, the benefits of aged account dwells on campaign budgets for high budget campaigns that wants to bypass minor daily limit.

From what I've seen, account age alone doesn't seem to determine performance. I've had older accounts perform poorly and newer ones do just fine with the same strategy. In my experience, campaign quality, compliance, and consistent account history tend to have a much bigger impact than the account's age itself.
 
Based on my own experience, if you have a proven, consistently profitable combination of offer, creative, and angle, then the accounts themselves don't have a significant impact on its performance

Older advertising accounts are generally better than newly created ones because they have a higher reputation, and when you run ads, older accounts will have a higher budget than newer accounts and don't require the same level of maintenance.

Do long-standing accounts have higher spending limits, mate?
 
Absolutely. Older accounts usually have higher spending limits, and the creative review process tends to be less restrictive.

aged accounts (those with an existing spend history) completely beat new accounts when it comes to durability and scaling potential: they have higher daily spend limits and greater trust with meta, making them extremely resistant to random bans when you scale budgets aggressively. On top of that, campaign approvals are way faster compared to brand-new accounts, which easily trigger checkpoints the moment you touch the budget

That might be true. Since I am running casino campaigns, using older accounts with a spending history seems to be yielding better results compared to new accounts.
 
In my experience, account age by itself doesn't guarantee better performance. A well-managed account with a good payment history, consistent policy compliance, and stable optimization tends to perform more reliably than a brand-new account, but campaign structure and creative quality still matter much more. I'd focus on building a healthy account over time rather than assuming an aged account will automatically deliver better results.

From what i have observed the account history does help to an extent but it is not the key determiinant. I have seen cases where the performance of newly created accounts was on par with that of old accounts as long as the campaign was managged well.
 
Account age is useful for getting trust indicators and review process easier, but account age cannot be used as an automatic ranking factor. Campaigns with proper structure, good creatives, targeting and conversion tracking would beat the old account which does not have much optimization..
 
I think so. In my experience, using an old account is always more reliable than a new one, especially during the Facebook storm

While older accounts often outperform newer ones, content and policies remain essential; your advertising will be far more effective when you successfully combine these elements.

Thanks for your input. I am currently testing both types of accounts side-by-side to verify their actual quality. It seems that older accounts tend to last longer than new ones; that is what I am observing so far.

Based on my experience age of the account is something that provides a slight edge but not the determininng factor. A well optimized new account with proper creatives can easily beat a poorly optimized old account in terms of performance. It is the aproach to the campaign which makes the diference.

Thank you. Another thing I’m particularly interested in regarding aged accounts is whether they survive Facebook’s crackdowns longer than new accounts do.
