Campaign performance insights hinge on reliable data. Use Event Manager to confirm events are firing correctly, then connect these events to your campaign’s custom conversions for detailed tracking. In Ads Manager, set your lead generation campaign’s primary conversion as the tracked event, so Meta can optimize for actual leads generated rather than just ad engagement. Regularly audit your event setup, especially if landing pages or forms are updated.
