Pro Tip
Avoid changing your ad in the first 4 days, even if you don’t like your results.
This will allow the ad system to use its exploration phase to learn who in your audience is the most likely to take action.
Improve Your Results with the Snap Pixel
Reach people who are the most likely to take action.
Use the Snap Pixel to understand what people do on your website after they see an ad. This will help you see the most important ways to optimize your ads’ audiences for the actions you want, like making a purchase or filling out a lead generation form.
The Snap Pixel will also track your return on ad spend (ROAS). This metric will help you know how much value you’re getting from your ads.
Test and Learn to Help Improve Your Future Ads
Use testing to understand what works best for your audience.
Testing and learning can be as simple as running an ad and then running another version that’s the same except for one change.
For example, you could test an ad that features a photo of your product against a version that features a photo of a customer with the product.
Then compare the results of the two ads to see which one performed better, such as which one received more 2-Second Video Views or more Clicks. This will help you understand what your audience is more likely to respond to.
Pro Tip
Use a Split Test to get a more accurate understanding of which ad version is more effective. You can select this test during the first step in Advanced Create.
Run an ad to start testing and learning on Snapchat.
