In this section, we will delve into the structure of an advertising campaign on Facebook. Understanding the hierarchical structure of a campaign is crucial for effective management and optimization. Facebook Ads campaigns are organized into three levels: Campaign, Ad Set, and Ad. Each level has its own specific settings and objectives.

The campaign level is the topmost level in the Facebook Ads hierarchy. It is where you define the overall objective of your advertising efforts.

• Campaign Objective: The primary goal you want to achieve with your campaign, such as brand awareness, lead generation, or conversions.
• Campaign Name: A unique name to identify the campaign.

The ad set level is where you define the targeting, budget, schedule, and placement of your ads. Each campaign can have multiple ad sets, allowing you to test different audiences and settings.

• Audience: Define who will see your ads based on demographics, interests, behaviors, and custom audiences.
• Budget and Schedule: Set a daily or lifetime budget and specify the start and end dates for your ad set.
• Placements: Choose where your ads will appear, such as Facebook News Feed, Instagram, Audience Network, or Messenger.
• Optimization and Delivery: Decide how Facebook will optimize your ad delivery, such as for link clicks, impressions, or conversions.

The ad level is where you create the actual advertisements that users will see. Each ad set can contain multiple ads, allowing you to test different creatives and messages.

• Ad Format: Choose the format of your ad, such as image, video, carousel, or collection.
• Ad Creative: Upload the media (images or videos) and write the ad copy (headline, text, and call-to-action).
• Ad Name: A unique name to identify the ad.
• Destination: Specify the URL or Facebook page where users will be directed when they click on the ad.
