How do I structure campaigns to test new creatives without breaking the ones that already scale?
Never test inside your scaling campaign, it will torch a proven winner's learning phase. Run a separate, smaller ABO testing campaign to find winners, then graduate proven creatives (15-20+ purchases, consistent ROAS above break-even) into your main CBO or ASC scaling campaign untouched. Treat testing and scaling as two different jobs with two different budgets, not one campaign doing both badly.
