Frequently asked
What are Meta Ads?
Meta Ads are paid campaigns run through Meta's Ads Manager, appearing on Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, and WhatsApp. They target users by interest, behaviour, lookalike, and increasingly by AI-driven Advantage audiences.
What's a good ROAS on Meta Ads?
For DTC ecommerce, blended ROAS between 2 and 4 is common; premium brands with strong margin can be profitable below 2. For lead-gen, cost per qualified lead and downstream close rate matter more than ROAS.
How much should I spend on Meta Ads to start?
Most brands need at least ₹500–₹1,000 per day per campaign to give Meta's optimisation enough events to learn. Starting below that stretches the learning phase and inflates CAC in the first weeks.
Do Meta Ads still work with iOS privacy changes?
Yes — but only if you install the Conversions API (CAPI) properly. CAPI restores server-side event data that the browser pixel now loses, and it's the single biggest lever for stabilising ROAS on iOS traffic.
