Budget can be set on daily basis or for the lifetime of the advert. In any case, the minimum required amount to be spent every day is $1. This can be set as daily limit or the last date of the life time budget is adjusted to make it a dollar a day. The amount specified is the bidding. More you spend, you reach more audience.

Pricing options

The ad is optimized to meet our objective for Page Likes or for Clicks i.e. impressions using Optimized For. The Pricing can be chosen as automatic or manual. In automatic bidding, bid price is calculated based on the budget and schedule and is targeted to meet the objective. In manual bid, maximum bid price can be set by the user per click or per 1000 impressions. The manual bid may not serve the objective.

Scheduling options

The ad can be set to run all the time or for the specific hours of specific days with Ad Scheduling. However, this option is available only for life time budgets.

Delivery Type can be standard i.e. it is shown throughout the day; a recommended and preferred way. Accelerated delivery is used for time sensitive events to reach targeted audience quickly. However, this type of delivery is available only if manual bid amount is set.
