What is the best way to facebook ad creative workflow?

The best approach depends on your team size and launch volume. Start by structuring your workflow around batch preparation and bulk uploading, then layer in automation for the parts that don't need human judgment.

How many ad variations should I test?

Advertisers running 3 or more variations per audience consistently see lower CPAs. Aim for at least 3-5 variations per ad set as a starting point, and increase from there as your workflow allows.

Does automation replace the need for creative strategy?

No. Automation handles the operational side, like launching, duplicating, and naming ads at scale. Creative strategy, offer positioning, and audience selection still require human judgment. The goal is to free up more time for that strategic work.
