The Bottom Line: Ecommerce Tactics for Profitable Growth

Debunking Cost Control Myths: My budget isn't spending


Listen Later

In the first Bottomline episode of 2025, Cody and Taylor take on the contentious topic of cost controls in Facebook advertising, offering a masterclass in advanced media buying strategies. They begin by demystifying the three types of cost controls - bid caps, cost caps, and minimum ROAS - and explain why they exclusively use cost controls across all their accounts.

They systematically dismantle common myths, particularly the notion that cost controls restrict spending. Through compelling arguments and real-world examples, they demonstrate how cost controls can actually lead to increased spend and better performance by eliminating wasteful ad spend on underperforming creatives. Cody and Taylor also delve into the pitfalls of manual budget adjustments and the "hybrid model," advocating instead for trusting Facebook's sophisticated algorithm to optimize spend based on performance.

The episode concludes with a discussion on using cost controls as a diagnostic tool to identify and address underlying issues in your advertising strategy, from creative quality to offer optimization and goal-setting.
