Managing Facebook Ads at scale is time-consuming and repetitive. If you're creating dozens of campaigns manually—copying settings, uploading creatives, adjusting targeting for each market—you're wasting hours that could be spent on strategy and optimization.
What if you could batch create 10, 50, or even 100 Facebook campaigns in minutes instead of hours?
In this comprehensive guide, we'll show you exactly how to batch create Facebook campaigns, leverage templates, automate repetitive tasks, and scale your advertising faster than ever before.
Batch campaign creation is the process of creating multiple Facebook Ads campaigns simultaneously using templates, bulk upload tools, or API automation. Instead of creating campaigns one by one, you set up multiple campaigns at once with similar or varied settings.
Traditional Method:
Campaign 1 → 20 minutes
Campaign 2 → 20 minutes
Campaign 3 → 20 minutes
Total: 1 hour for 3 campaigns
Batch Method:
Campaigns 1-50 → 15 minutes total
Result: 50 campaigns in the time it took to create 3
Create hundreds of Facebook Ads campaigns in minutes with Lix.so. Batch upload, reusable templates, automatic generation.

Power Editor (now integrated into Ads Manager) offers more advanced batch features:

This creates 5 campaigns at once.

Cons:
Best for: Medium-scale operations (20-100 campaigns)

Only difference: targeting
Result:
3 products × 5 audiences = 15 campaigns
Easy to compare which audience performs best
Scenario: Find optimal budget for a new campaign
Setup:
Create 5 identical campaigns with different budgets:
- Campaign A: $20/day
- Campaign B: $50/day
- Campaign C: $100/day
- Campaign D: $200/day
- Campaign E: $500/day
Run for 7 days
Compare: CPA, ROAS, Scale potential
Result: Data-driven decision on budget allocation
Scenario: Launch campaigns for Black Friday across all products
Setup:
Template: "Black_Friday_2025"
- Start date: Nov 24, 2025, 00:00
- End date: Nov 30, 2025, 23:59
- Budget: 3x normal (increased for event)
- Ad copy: "Black Friday Special - 50% OFF"
Batch create:
- 50 products → 50 campaigns
- All scheduled to start automatically
- Consistent messaging across campaigns
Result: Full Black Friday launch in 20 minutes
Scenario: Launch in 10 countries with localized copy
Setup:
Countries & Languages:
- US: English
- FR: French
- DE: German
- ES: Spanish
- IT: Italian
- BR: Portuguese
- MX: Spanish
- CA: English/French
- AU: English
- NZ: English
Dynamic text variables:

- ad_text_fr: "Découvrez notre produit"
- ad_text_de: "Entdecken Sie unser Produkt"
- ad_text_es: "Descubre nuestro producto"
Batch create with language detection
Result: 10 localized campaigns in minutes
Before batch creating 100 campaigns, validate your template:
Step 1: Create 1-3 campaigns manually
Step 2: Run for 5-7 days
Step 3: Optimize based on data
Step 4: Save winning setup as template
Step 5: Now batch create at scale
Why: Don't multiply a bad campaign setup 50 times.
Good naming structure:
Format: TYPE_PRODUCT_COUNTRY_AUDIENCE_DATE
Examples:
- CONV_SmartWatch_USA_Cold_2025-01
- CONV_SmartWatch_USA_Warm_2025-01
- CONV_SmartWatch_UK_Cold_2025-01
- TRAF_BlogPost_USA_Lookalike_2025-01
Benefits:
- Easy filtering in Ads Manager
- Quick identification of campaign type
- Automated reporting by category
Bad naming:
❌ "Campaign 1"
❌ "Test"
❌ "USA Smart Watch"
❌ "New campaign Jan"
Problem: Impossible to organize or report at scale
When batch creating many campaigns:
Week 1: $10-20/day per campaign (testing phase)
- Let campaigns gather data
- Identify early winners and losers
Week 2: Increase winners to $50/day
- Pause campaigns with CPA > target
- Scale profitable campaigns
Week 3+: Scale best performers to $100-500/day
- Focus budget on proven campaigns
- Create new batch tests with insights
Why: Prevent overspending on untested campaigns.
Create batches in logical groups:
Batch 1: All USA campaigns (easier to compare apples-to-apples)
Batch 2: All UK campaigns
Batch 3: All CA campaigns
NOT:
Batch 1: USA, UK, France, Japan, Brazil mixed
(harder to identify patterns)
When to use CBO:
When NOT to use CBO:
Batch creation tip: Set CBO setting in your template, then batch create.
Don't batch create everything at once. Use a schedule:
Week 1: Batch A (10 campaigns)
Week 2: Batch B (10 campaigns) + optimize Batch A
Week 3: Batch C (10 campaigns) + optimize A & B
Week 4: Scale winners from A, B, C
Result: Controlled testing, not chaos
After batch creation, track campaigns as a group:
Batch Report:
- Total spend across all campaigns
- Average CPA for the batch
- Best performing campaign (model for next batch)
- Worst performing campaign (avoid in next batch)
- Overall ROAS for the batch
Decision:
- If batch ROAS > 2x: Scale
- If batch ROAS 1-2x: Optimize
- If batch ROAS < 1x: Pause and revise template
Problem: You create 50 campaigns using a template that doesn't work. Result: Wasted budget.
Solution:
Problem: Facebook has limits:
Solution:
Problem: Same image/video for USA, France, Japan = poor performance in some markets
Solution:
Problem: "Campaign 1", "Campaign 2"... "Campaign 50" = impossible to manage
Solution:
Product_Country_Audience_2025-01TEST_, SCALE_, RETAR_Problem: Batch create 50 campaigns and don't check for 2 weeks.
Solution:
Problem: Batch creating campaigns with different objectives (Sales, Traffic, Engagement) = messy reporting
