Summary  
This chapter covers dynamic resource allocation and optimization algorithms that iteratively test, evaluate, and scale competing units based on performance metrics.  

General domain of usage  
Digital advertising and marketing campaigns.

Managing **budgets and bidding** effectively prevents overspending and helps scale profitable campaigns.

### Budget Types:
- **Daily Budget**: steady daily spend;  
- **Lifetime Budget**: flexible. Meta allocates more on high-performing days.  

### Budget Optimization:
- **Campaign Budget Optimization (CBO / Advantage Plus)**: distributes budget across ad sets automatically. Good for testing, less for long-term control. 

### Bidding Strategies:
- **Lowest Cost (Highest Volume)**: maximizes results within budget;  
- **Cost Cap (Bid Cap)**: keeps cost per result under a set amount (e.g., $5 per lead).  

### Scaling Strategy:
- Test multiple ad sets with small budgets ($3–$5 each);  
- After ~5 days, analyze metrics (**CPC, CPR, ROAS**);  
- **Scale vertically**: raise budget by 20–30% every 3–5 days;  
- **Scale horizontally**: duplicate ad sets with new audiences/creatives.

High ad Frequency can mean ad fatigue and usually means a good time to refresh creatives or switch audiences.
