What is working better for you guys on Meta right now, broad targeting or interest-based targeting? I've mostly used interests in the past, but I'm thinking about testing broader audiences.Would be interested to hear what has been working for others recently.

depends alot on the account. for a new campaign i might start with a few interests, then test broad once there are enough conversions to give the algorithm something to work with.

I would still focus on audience segments based on interests and demographics to accurately reach the target audience and save on the budget; however, if you wish to expand your target audience, you should implement new strategies while you are still in the process of identifying a stable customer base.

i think creative matters more than people give it credit for. a good ad can work with broad targeting, while weak creative can struggle even with the perfect interests.

broad has been successful for me recently, but it depend a lot on what you use in terms of offer nd creatives. I would use both, the same creatives nd see which has a better CPA once you put in enough money.

Broad is worth testing for sure. Just dont judge it after spending a few bucks, give both audiences enough time and budget. Sometimes the results look bad at first but improve later.
