Can you elaborate on what optimization issue is. Budget or something?

You should focus more on demographics and choose better install buttons. do it well and you will get more results.
 
Focus on audience targeting — even perfect content won’t work on the wrong crowd. Test different versions (copy, visuals, CTA) and double down on what converts. Check when and where your ads run — timing and placement matter. Use clear, strong CTAs — don’t assume the user knows the next step. Track results and kill what’s not working fast — optimize weekly if possible.
 

Step-by-Step Facebook Ad Campaign Optimization Guide​

1. Recheck Your Objective​

  • Are you using the right campaign objective?
    • For traffic? Use Traffic or Conversions.
    • For engagement? Use Engagement or Video Views.
    • For leads or sales? Use Leads or Sales/Conversion.
Wrong objective = wrong results, even with perfect creative.

2. Targeting Audit​

  • Are your audiences too broad or too narrow?
  • Try A/B testing:
    • Audience A: Interests only (e.g. “Fitness + Gym”)
    • Audience B: Lookalike audience (from page likes, website visitors)
    • Audience C: Retargeting (video viewers, engaged users)
Often, better targeting > better creative.

3. Ad Creative Testing (Even More Important Than You Think)​

You mentioned you're focused on content — good. But now try split testing:
  • Same image + 3 different captions/headlines
  • Same video + different calls to action
  • Same product + different angles (“beauty benefits” vs “lifestyle” vs “problem-solving”)
Sometimes the smallest copy tweak can double your CTR.

4. Landing Page Experience​

  • Is your landing page slow or not mobile optimized?
  • Does it match your ad? (Message match is key)
  • Does it have clear CTAs?
If people click but bounce, your ads will get poor quality scores, and Facebook will penalize your reach.

5. Budget and Optimization Settings​

  • Don't go too low on budget: at least $5–10/day per ad set for learning phase.
  • Don’t touch campaigns during first 3 days of learning unless performance is bad.
  • Avoid combining too many interests in one ad set.

6. Review Metrics That Matter​

Here’s what to watch:
MetricGood Benchmark
CTR (Click-Through Rate)1%+ (ideally 2–3%)
CPC (Cost Per Click)Under $0.50 (niche-dependent)
CPM (Cost per 1,000 Impr.)$5–15 (lower = better reach)
ROAS (Return on Ad Spend)2x+ (if you're selling)
If CTR is low → your creative isn’t grabbing attention.
If CTR is high but no conversions → landing page or offer issue.

7. Spy on Competitors​

Use:
See what’s working for your friend or similar pages — copy the structure, not just the visuals.

8. Use Reels & Video Ads​

Reels-style video ads are currently overperforming on CPM and engagement. Test:
  • 15–30 second “raw” feeling videos
  • Use trending audio
  • Vertical format

Final Tip: Test in Small Batches​

  • Run 3–5 ad sets with 1–2 variations each.
  • Pause losers after 3 days, scale winners.
  • Rinse and repeat.
 
To set up a campaign that delivers good results, you learn about user behavior, demographic information is quite important.
 
the target audience and target settings might be quite narrow. If ads run for too long, people stop engaging, refresh your creatives every few weeks if performance drops
For new accounts, I think you should post organic content to boost natural engagement before starting to allocate a budget for ad
 
Great that you're focusing on content and visuals — but optimization campaigns (whether SEO, PPC, or social media) go beyond just great content. If your friend is seeing better results, chances are they’re dialing in performance data, targeting, and testing more aggressively.
 
There are many ways to optimize a campaign, consider your target audience, test and find the most engaging content, use and know how to allocate your budget appropriately.
 
focus on testing, try different audiences, ad copy, and creatives. small tweaks can make a big difference in performance.
 
You could try A/B testing different versions of your ads, refining your targeting settings, and analyzing your friend's strategy to identify key differences. Also, review your conversion tracking to ensure you're measuring success accurately.
 
Try testing different campaign objectives and creative angles, but also work on improving your sales skills, even great content needs strong closing ability to convert effectively.
 
Whether a campaign is effective or not depends on many factors, depending on each different product, for example, whether it is targeting the right customers, you say you focus a lot on content and images, but do you think you have actually provided content that solves the problem that customers need, that will create positive results for purchases?

when you want to optimize your campaign. You should focus more on demographics and choose better settings buttons. determine which keywords best match your target audience.
 
Effective TEST & SCALE strategy

Test phase
Test at least 3–5 creatives (different images/videos)

Use a small budget ($5–10/ads) for 2–3 days

Choose main KPIs: CTR, CPC, CR

Scale phase
Keep ads with: High CTR + Low CPC + Stable CR

Scale by:

Gradually increase budget (10–20% every 2 days)

Duplicate campaign + new budget (if you want to scale quickly)

Expand the file or target wider
