It appears as a yellow hazard triangle at the ad set level and can be worrying for marketers seeing it for the first time.
Scroll over it and Facebook provides an explanation – the ad set isn’t generating enough leads to allow it to fully optimise and leave the learning phase, this is caused by either budget, cost controls or size of audience.
This is the phase of time when Facebook‘s delivery system sends your ads out to numerous people in your targeting to discover the best way to deliver your ad set. During this phase, performance can be chaotic and results aren’t generally the best.
New ad sets default automatically into the learning phase and ad sets that you significantly edit will return to this stage, therefore it’s important not to be tempted to tweak too much in the learning phase!
You can expect your ad set to exit the learning phase after about fifty event triggers are registered. If this doesn’t happen, the Learning Limited warning will appear.
Remember to follow the Golden Rule of Facebook advertising: If it’s not broken, don’t fix it!
If you’re getting a good amount of leads and have healthy ROAs, it’s best to just continue managing your campaign as you are.
