Move Meta budget from Traffic campaigns to Leads or WhatsApp campaigns
30% of Meta spend goes to ad sets that optimise for clicks, reach or engagement rather than leads or sales. Traffic campaigns find people who click, not people who book.
Meta Ads Manager > Campaigns > + Create
- 1In Meta Ads Manager, click + Create and choose the Leads objective (or Engagement > Messaging for WhatsApp).
- 2Set the conversion location to Instant forms, Messaging apps (WhatsApp) or Website with your lead event.
- 3Copy your best-performing ads into the new campaign so you keep the creative that works.
- 4Shift budget across gradually over 1 to 2 weeks, then switch the Traffic campaign off on the Campaigns tab.
