Every time there's a chance to show your ad to someone in your audience across Meta platforms like Facebook, Instagram and Messenger, it enters an ad auction to determine who should see it. The goal of an auction is simple - to pair your ad with people in your audience who are most likely to be interested in it. This helps you get the most results possible for your budget while providing a positive, relevant experience for your customers. ## You play the most important role in your ad’s success. #### Unlike traditional auctions that pick a winner based on the highest bid, Meta’s auction system looks at a number of factors equally to determine which ad is displayed. Ads that perform their best in our auction combine five components: the right objective, targeting, a sufficient budget, enough duration and compelling ad creative. ## Ad objective Choose the ad objective that best supports your business goal. Our auction system will look for people in your audience who are more likely to take action related to your ad objective. ## Budget and schedule When your ad enters an auction, it is served up against other ads trying to reach the same audience. You can give your ad a competitive edge by setting a sufficient budget to be used over the course of at least 7 days. Doing so allows the system to learn how to better allocate your budget so it can be shown to people who are more likely to take action. ## Audience You can help our ad auction find the best people and places to show your ad. Think about who you want to see your ad and then build an audience based on those traits. Once your ad starts running, our system will learn who is engaging with it and, over time, narrow your audience so you reach more of the right people. ## Creative It’s no secret that bold, high-quality visuals and compelling messages can grab people’s attention. But they can also help make your ads more relevant so it can perform better in auctions. Our auction system aims to show people ads they’ll find interesting so it prioritizes the ones that provide the best user experience. ![Ad objective interface.](images/10a0e2a8dea15a785da3a616f10e89101c12b62d.webp) ![Budget and Schedule interface with an ad sample.](images/b10d02126ca717df10a7aabc0d5a75c61b0b93e7.webp) ![Audience interface with an ad sample.](images/6675e7ce066de95d4cec151eb3edb39f6aa243c0.webp) ![An ad sample with likes and hearts.](images/0c95f357662d4d3c87f4ec551e7c81bc8fcfb3f8.webp) ## How your inputs will influence your ad’s performance. Once it’s gone live, your ad will go through the following three stages. ## ![](images/87b719d39bde76fb74d224bc94f7491fbdd80848.svg)What happens next ![](images/64859f0ddda88b681293a1704c89c6977557b053.webp) ### Assessment Once you’ve created your ad, the auction will look at Ad Objective, Budget, Duration, Audience and Creative to help evaluate your ad’s quality and relevance to your target audience. ![](images/4fe674f1ba727d9ce9d5e16f12b79748ac80116f.webp) ### Delivery Our auction system will begin showing your ad to people in your audience to learn who is more likely to engage with your business. ![](images/898ad5a57a666072383349f185184482f1df4848.webp) ### Optimization Over time, it will narrow down your audience to show your ad to people who are more likely to interact with it - helping you get the most results possible for your budget. ## Ad quality and ad rejection: What you should know • **Ad quality** is determined from several sources, including assessments of low-quality attributes in the ad, such as withholding information, sensationalized language and engagement bait. Together, estimated action rates and ad quality measure ad relevance. [Learn more](/business/help/423781975167984) • **Ad rejection** happens if we detect that an ad violates our Advertising Standards.
