Top Facebook Ad Strategies Working in 2025 (Post-iOS Updates)

Meta Ads still work. But not like they used to.
If you’re an e-commerce brand or marketer wondering why your Facebook ad performance has dropped post-iOS updates — you’re not alone.

In 2025, privacy-first tracking, data loss, and ad fatigue are real challenges. But the brands that are winning are using smarter strategies, creative testing, and data-led automation.

At SPRWebSolutions, we’ve audited hundreds of ad accounts and spent crores in ad budget. Based on that experience, here are the Top Facebook Ad Strategies that are working right now in 2025.

📌 1. Use High-Intent First-Party Data

Third-party tracking is dying.
The solution? Build and use your own customer data.

• Upload Custom Audiences from CRM, WhatsApp, Google Sheets
• Create Lookalike Audiences based on past purchasers
• Retarget using engaged users (Instagram/Facebook/Website)

✅ First-party data = better delivery, stronger ROAS.

📌 2. Ditch Broad Targeting — Go for Hybrid Audience Structure

The old broad vs. narrow debate is over.

Hybrid audience structures combine:

• 1–2 broad interest stacks (for scale)
• 1–2 custom/lookalike audiences (for precision)
• Retargeting layers with exclusions (for conversion)

🎯 This helps Meta’s AI optimize effectively without wasting spend.

📌 3. Use the 3-Angle Creative Formula

Great ads don’t just “look” good — they sell.

In 2025, static images still work, but only if paired with strong hooks and variety.
Try testing 3 different angles for each product:

• Problem-Solution Hook
• Emotional Relatability Hook
• Offer-Driven Urgency Hook

🎬 Bonus: Use UGC-style videos (voiceover + mobile footage) — they outperform polished studio creatives.

📌 4. Optimize for Value-Based Events

Most advertisers still optimize for Purchase.
Top brands now optimize for Value or Custom Conversions like:

• ATC value
• Initiate Checkout (with high cart value)
• Purchase + AOV (average order value)

💡 This helps train Meta to find better quality customers, not just clicks.

📌 5. Use Automated Rules for Scaling & Protection

Meta is more volatile in 2025. Don’t scale manually.

Instead, use Ad Automation Rules to:

• Increase budget by 20% if ROAS > 3.0
• Pause ad sets if CPA > ₹500
• Get alerts if CPM spikes

📊 This gives you more control, fewer surprises, and better ROI.

📌 6. Consolidate Campaigns (Avoid Fragmentation)

Too many ad sets = too little data per set.
Top-performing brands in 2025 are consolidating into:

• 1 Campaign per Objective
• 2–3 Ad Sets with broad + custom audiences
• 3–6 Creatives per Ad Set

🔥 The algorithm needs enough data — feed it properly!

📌 7. Full Funnel Focus: TOF → MOF → BOF

Many brands only run sales campaigns. Big mistake.

Structure your campaigns as a funnel:

• TOF (Top of Funnel): Awareness / Engagement
• MOF (Middle): Product education / Trust building
• BOF (Bottom): Offers / Retargeting / WhatsApp

🚀 This ensures cold users are warmed before conversion — reducing your CPA.
