The "Golden Age" of manual micro-targeting is officially over. In 2025, Meta’s algorithm has transitioned from a distribution engine to a decision engine.
For Bangalore-based brands, success no longer comes from picking the right "interests", it comes from feeding the AI high-quality signals and high-velocity creative.
At FrameLeads, we’ve audited over ₹50Cr in monthly ad spend to build this framework. This is the foundation of Meta Ads Mastery in 2025.
To exit the "Learning Phase" and hit scale, your account must balance three specific pillars.

The speed at which you test and iterate on ad creatives. Volume + Variety = Victory.

Creative fatigue is the #1 reason for rising CPAs in Bangalore. Because the audience is tech-savvy and scrolls fast, the "Visual Half-Life" of an ad is shorter than ever.
| Ad Format | 2025 Trend | Why it Works |
|---|---|---|
| Short-Form Reels (<15s) | Very High | Matches native user behavior; highest engagement. |
| "Hinglish" Static Grids | High | High clarity; builds local trust instantly. |
| Founder-Led Lo-Fi Video | Medium-High | Authenticity beats high-production polish. |
| Carousel Comparison | Medium | Best for B2B SaaS feature-comparison. |
How to Exit the Learning Phase Faster?
Answer: Meta requires 50 conversion events per ad set per week to exit the learning phase and stabilize costs.
If your budget is low, optimize for an event "further up the funnel" (e.g., "Add to Cart" or "Lead Form Submit") to give the AI enough data points to learn your ideal customer profile.
Is Meta Conversions API (CAPI) active and deduplicated?
Are you running at least one campaign with ZERO interest targeting?
Do you have a system to produce 3-5 new videos per week?
Are you using Bangalore-specific landmarks or language in your retargeting?
