Nick breaks down how the feature works, when it should and shouldn’t be used, how to structure creative tests effectively and what advertisers can learn from the results to make better optimisation decisions.

The Biggest Facebook Ads Mistake in 2026

Get my FREE 2026 Facebook Ads Masterclass here 👉 https://www.skool.com/theadsclinic/aboutIn this episode, Nick discuss what may be the biggest Facebook Ads mistake advertisers are making in 2026: trying to control too much.

We explore why giving Meta more freedom often leads to better results, how the platform now makes optimisation decisions faster and more effectively than humans can, and where advertisers should really be focusing their attention instead.
