What Are Facebook Automated Campaigns?
Facebook Automated Campaigns, known formally as Advantage+ campaigns, use machine learning to automate decisions around budget allocation, audience targeting, and creative placement. This enables advertisers to reach high-value customers without the constant manual adjustments typically required in traditional campaigns.
