How does Facebook optimize for the “Website Purchases” ads?
Facebook will optimize your ad by using data to identify audiences who are most likely to buy your product or service. It will help determine the best path to generate a sale based on your website traffic and other factors. If Facebook is unable to determine who is making purchases yet due to a lack of data, it will show your ad to people who have looked at your products or have placed items in their cart. Once there is enough data collected for your business, FB will be able to optimize your ad for purchases.
