How to create an ad set in Bloc Ads Manager

Last updated 14 March 2026

Bloc Ads Manager structures ads into three parts: campaigns, ad sets, and ads. Ad sets contain ads with similar targeting and budget settings. You can create an ad set within a new campaign flow or use an existing campaign. When you create an ad set, you will need to set up:

  • Advertising objective

  • Ad Placements

  • Audience targeting

  • Budget and Schedule

  • Bidding and Optimization


Before you begin

Before you create an ad set, consider your advertising objective and where you want your ads to appear. A campaign can include more than one ad group.

  • There is a limit of 999 ad sets per campaign.

  • Ad set names support 512 characters. You can also use a template to name your ad set.
