The Mathematics of Meta Ad Auctions
Meta's ad auction algorithm evaluates winning bids using an eCPM calculation model rather than pure budget size. The formula for auction priority is expressed as:
Total Auction Score = (Advertiser Bid x Estimated Action Rate) + User Value Score
When you target high-intent audiences, your Estimated Action Rate rises. This signals to Meta's delivery system that users find your ad relevant, resulting in lower Bin Gösterim Başına Maliyet (CPM) and lower CPA.
