Definition
A cost cap is a bid strategy that tells Meta to keep your average cost per result near a target. It trades some volume for cost control.
Cost cap explained
Cost caps work best when the cap reflects a realistic, profitable CPA. A cap set too low can stop delivery entirely.
Example
A store sets a 30 dollar cost cap because it earns 35 dollars profit per order before ads.
