Key takeaways
£10 a day on Facebook ads is about £300–£310 a month, which sits right at the common floor for a readable local test. It can reach a few thousand people a week in a tight area. It works when you run one campaign, one offer and one audience, and fails when split several ways.
- £10 a day is about £304 a month on average.
- At an £8 CPM that is roughly 1,250 impressions a day.
- One campaign, one offer, one local audience.
- Judge after 3–4 weeks, not 3–4 days.

Divide spend by your cost per 1,000 impressions (CPM). At an illustrative £8 CPM, £10 buys about 1,250 impressions a day. With people seeing the ad a couple of times a week, that reaches a few thousand people weekly. Your real CPM depends on audience, season and creative.
How many results can £10 a day bring?
It depends on your cost per result. At an illustrative £20 per enquiry, £300 a month brings about 15 enquiries; at £60 it brings about five. Meta's learning phase needs around 50 optimisation events a week, which £10 a day rarely reaches, so choose an objective that happens often enough.

Chat on WhatsApp →When does £10 a day work?
For local businesses with a clear offer, a tight radius, good creative and fast replies. Salons, cafes, trades and clinics often see steady enquiries at this level. It struggles for national campaigns, B2B audiences and expensive platforms such as LinkedIn.
What wastes £10 a day?
Splitting it into three ad sets at £3.33, changing the ad every two days, targeting the whole country, and sending clicks to a slow or confusing page. Each stops the small budget from learning.
What does this look like in practice?
A pattern we see: £10 a day split across three audiences for a week, then switched off as 'not working'. Running one audience for four weeks with two creatives usually shows a clear cost per enquiry at the same spend.
£10 a day checklist
- Run one campaign with one ad set.
- Target a tight local area.
- Use two creatives, not ten.
- Choose an objective that happens often enough.
- Wait three to four weeks before judging.
Next step
Set up one local campaign at £10 a day with two creatives and a tracked enquiry route. Put a review date four weeks out.

Frequently asked questions
Is £10 a day enough for Facebook ads?
For a local business with a clear offer and a tight area, £10 a day can bring steady enquiries. For national campaigns, competitive sectors or expensive audiences, it is often too little to learn quickly. Keep it in a single campaign and judge after three to four weeks.
How many people will £10 a day reach?
Roughly a few thousand people a week, depending on your cost per 1,000 impressions. At an £8 CPM, £10 buys about 1,250 impressions a day. Smaller, competitive or highly targeted audiences cost more per impression and reach fewer people. Review it each quarter against your enquiries and sales, and adjust in small steps.
How long should I run £10 a day ads?
At least three to four weeks before making big changes. Small budgets produce few results per day, so short periods mostly show random variation. If after a month the cost per enquiry is far above target, change the offer or creative rather than the budget.
