AMA #1: Bid Caps

Andrew Faris
About this episode

You had questions about Bid Caps. I answered them.

Questions ranged from why your Bid Caps are underspending, why they're overspending, and whether or not they just target lower funnel traffic you were already going to get.

Hopefully this episode helps you manage your Meta Ads smarter. And if you have suggestions for my next AMA, email me or DM me on X and maybe I'll do it.
