What counts as a creative variant?

A variant can be a different hook, visual direction, offer frame, format, audience angle, or CTA. Keep the test question clear.

Is spend per variant enough to decide a test?

No. It is a planning input. You still need enough impressions, clicks, or conversions for the metric you care about.

Count the distinct creative directions you want to compare.Spend Per Variant

Use a consistent planned spend for each variant.

Use this as a planning total before checking whether your target metric needs more volume.

Keep variants focused on one test question. Testing six unrelated changes makes the result harder to use.

If budget is tight, reduce variants before reducing the minimum spend needed for each variant to get readable signal.
