What differentiates Meta Ads Manager from other similar products?

What differentiates Facebook and Instagram advertising is the size of its audience and data collected on its users. Despite Meta's best attempt to provide ZERO customer service and to continue stripping away affinity targeting segments, its simply a platform you have to advertise on to reach and convert customers if you are a DTC brand.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The amount of ad formats and retargeting campaign performance.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Meta provides zero customer service. It's incredibly frustrating.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Put in the time necessary to develop compelling creative and your audience targeting strategy on FB/IG.

  • Performance Enhancing

Cons

  • Less Effective Service
  • Less Fair
  • Vendor's Interest First
