Meta advertisers have plenty to get confused about. But one of the most common points of confusion I see is understanding the differences between custom events and custom conversions. This became especially obvious recently as I’ve written more about custom events. Are they used for reporting?

I contend that the most underrated action you take when creating a Meta ads campaign is selecting your performance goal. Too many advertisers take it for granted or simply don’t realize the impact it has on ad delivery. The selection of a performance goal should be one of your top priorities when creating a campaign.
