FAQ
What is an ad creative test planner?
An ad creative test planner turns a campaign goal, category, offer, platform, and creative count into a structured variant matrix so the team knows what to test and how to judge results.
How many ad creatives should I test at once?
Most small teams should start with 6 to 12 variants across two or three angles. Larger accounts can test more, but each lane should isolate one primary variable such as hook, offer, proof, or format.
What should I do after a winning ad appears?
Keep the winning angle stable, then create controlled follow-up variants around the hook, opener, visual format, or proof point instead of restarting from scratch.
