Multiple ad sets & ads for Meta ad campaigns

Modified on Mon, 4 Aug at 2:01 AM

What’s New?
  1. You can now create up to 
    10 ad sets
     within a single Meta Ads campaign, expanding your ability to test different audiences, placements and strategies.
  2. Each ad set supports up to 
    10 ads
    , enabling 
    multi-ad experimentation
     within a defined target group.
  3. The campaign flow now follows a structured hierarchy: Campaign > Ad Set > Ad
  4. When you create a campaign, 
    1 ad set and 1 ad
     are automatically generated to get you started faster.
  5. Add new ad sets anytime using the 
    “Create Ad Set”
     option in the campaign ellipsis menu.
  6. Use the ellipsis (⋮) menus at both ad set and ad levels to:
  • Add, Duplicate or Delete
     items with ease.
  1. A redesigned 
    Review screen
     allows you to inspect and toggle through ad sets and their ads before publishing, improving confidence and transparency in your setup.
  2. The 
    Statistics tab
     now enables performance tracking not just at the campaign level, but also by ad set and ad level supporting deep insights and optimization.
How It Works:
  1. Create a Campaign
     (e.g. Lead Generation, Website Traffic, etc.)
  2. The system auto-generates the structure of 
    1 ad set and 1 ad
     by default
  3. To add more:
  • Click the campaign ellipsis (⋮) to 
    Create Ad Set
     (max 10 ad sets)

  • Within each ad set, click the ellipsis to 
    Create Ad
     (max 10 ads per set)

  1. Use ellipsis menus to 
    duplicate or delete
     ad sets or ads
  2. Configure
    :
  • Campaign-level settings (objective, special ad category)
  • Ad set-level controls (budget, placements, geographic/audience targeting)

  • Ad-level creatives (lead form, media, text, CTA button, etc.)

  1. Navigate to 
    Review
     and select any ad set/ad from the left panel to inspect details.

  1. Publish
     and monitor via the 
    Ad Manager > Statistics
     screen:
  • View metrics like impressions, clicks, CPC, conversions and spend amongst others
  • Drill down from campaign > ad set > individual ad

Why It Matters:
  1. Powerful testing
    : Run multiple audience hypotheses or creative variations within the same campaign.
  2. Scalable strategy
    : Ideal for accounts and advanced advertisers managing segmented targeting.
  3. Enhanced usability
    : Intuitive creation and editing flows reduce friction in building complex campaigns.
  4. Performance control
    : Granular reporting makes it easier to spot what’s working (and what’s not) at every layer.
Notes:
  • Campaigns must contain 
    at least one ad set and one ad
     to be valid.
  • All existing features such as 
    duplicate/delete a campaign 
    remain available from the 
    Ad Manager Home view
    .
