Frequently Asked Questions
Short, practical answers.
Are these fixed Instagram ad prices?
No. The calculator uses benchmarks for planning. Real performance depends on audience, creative quality, seasonality and funnel setup.
Boosting in-app vs Ads Manager: what is more efficient?
Ads Manager gives you better targeting, testing and optimization controls. In-app boosting is faster to start but often less efficient.
What budget do I need for the learning phase?
Rule of thumb: enough volume for stable signals (often 30–50 conversions per week for conversion campaigns). If that is unrealistic, start with traffic/leads and improve step by step.
Why do CPC/CPM vary so much by industry?
Competition, purchase intent, audience size and creative standards differ strongly by niche. B2B and finance tend to be more expensive than entertainment or local services.
