INSIGHT

Andromeda Latches Onto Top SKU

  • Meta's Andromeda prioritizes the creative that converts most, so the algorithm will concentrate spend on the top-performing SKU.
  • That causes product concentration unless you architect campaigns to steer the algorithm toward other SKUs.
ADVICE

Build A Main Campaign Plus Feeders

  • Create a large "main" campaign containing ads for all products and separate smaller feeder campaigns for individual SKUs.
  • Use spend in feeders to steer the main campaign's pixel activity toward the product you want to grow.
ANECDOTE

  • Petwell's account had 90% of sales coming from a single immune SKU, starving other products of spend.
  • The team needed a strategy to make underperforming SKUs sell so Meta would optimize them too.
