Ad Manager - Meta lead gen: Website & hybrid conversion locations

๐Ÿ‘€Whatโ€™s New?

  1. Added Conversion Location selection at Ad Set level:

  • Instant Forms (default)

  • Website

  • Website and Instant Forms

  1. Introduced Dataset (Pixel) selection (required for Website & Hybrid).

  2. Added Conversion Event dropdown for both website and Hybrid(Instant form and Website).

  3. Added Destination URL field at Ad level (required for Website & Hybrid).

  4. Hybrid support now allows both Lead Form + Website URL in the same ad.

๐Ÿ‘ท How It Works:

  1. Select Objective: Lead Generation.

  2. At Ad Set level, choose Conversion Location:

  • Instant Forms > Lead form only (existing behaviour).

  • Website > Requires Dataset + Conversion Event.

  • Website & Instant Forms > Requires Dataset + Conversion Event.

  1. At Ad level:

  • Website > Destination URL required.

image
  • Instant Forms > Lead Form required.

  • Hybrid > Both required and then Meta optimises which one to show to users as per their optimisation engine rules.

  1. Publish is blocked if required fields are missing.

โญ Why It Matters:

  • Brings HL closer to Meta Ads Manager parity.

  • Enables website-based lead optimization using Pixel events.

  • Supports hybrid lead collection (Website + Instant Forms).

  • Improves performance flexibility for advanced advertisers.

๐Ÿ“ Notes:

  1. Conversion Location cannot be changed after publish (Meta limitation).

  2. Instant Forms remains default for backward compatibility.

  3. Reporting adapts dynamically based on selected conversion location.
