Ad auction
The auction Meta runs each time it can show an ad, where the winner is the ad with the highest total value, not simply the highest bid.
Meta says total value combines the advertiser’s bid, estimated action rates (how likely the person is to take the action you optimise for) and ad quality. A more relevant ad can win at a lower price, which is why weak creative raises costs.
