Ad Iterations
Ad iterations are methodical variations of high-performing ad creative, designed to build upon proven success through incremental optimization. Unlike exploratory ad variations, iterations specifically focus on refining and enhancing elements of already successful ads while preserving their core effective components. This approach combines data-driven insights with creative optimization to extend and improve campaign performance.
