Campaign results depend on delivery and measurement; the tool does not guarantee sales.
Account access, business assets, billing and advertising permissions need separate ownership checks.
Plan a review without authorising spend
Use a fictional campaign brief with an objective, a placement plan, one creative variant and a reporting question. Name the account owner, person approving the content and person responsible for billing.
Meta’s budget and placement course and reporting introduction cover different parts of the workflow. Match the selected metric to the business outcome before using it to judge a campaign.
