If you cannot turn off expanded targeting after selecting the Sales/Conversions/button clicks campaign objective, there is an easy fix.
You can go back and change the campaign objective to “Traffic/Views” – this objective will allow all accounts to use detailed targeting when choosing interests. You can use this to identify which interests you want to target, and then you can reset your ad creation objective to be Sales/Conversions and choose those same interests.

Select Conversions and name your campaign. So I recommend that you name your campaign, something like the item that you’re selling, and then note that it’s a 3 Ad creative test. And then for the ad set, I recommend that you name it the product that you’re selling. So in this case here cat coffee spoons, and then note what type of Creative Test you’re going to be tasting. So this is my first Image Ad and then come and click ‘continue.’
Next, tick ‘Manual Placement’. So we’re going to only tag mobile traffic. Just select Facebook for Platforms then untick everything, but ‘Facebook News Feed’ for placement.
Scroll up to ‘Detailed Targeting’ then untick the Detailed Targeting Expansion’ box. Add in the interests keywords you have in mind to narrow down your audience to those who are interested in your niche. Click ‘Next’.
Come to the call to action button and select ‘Shop Now’. Then, add in the URL for your website. This has to be the exact to your product page URL. For the display link, you don’t have to. That’s just a link which is displayed and looks nicely to the person looking at it. And click ‘Publish’.
Then do the steps again in uploading a file to the Ad but use a video this time. You can use the same text for the Primary Text, Headline and Description. Click Publish.
Now go ahead and modify the name of that ad set to keep everything nice and clean. Head on over to the ad set tab and refresh it so that the ad set that we just created will load and show up.
Go to the Ad and change the name of that to be a video ad. Once done, click ‘Publish’.
