Great product for social media marketing and SEO!

10 /10

What differentiates Meta Ads Manager from other similar products?

Well not to be simplistic but what differentiates Facebook Ads Manager from other similar products is that it is engineered to work with the Facebook/Meta/Instagram platforms as opposed to say Google Ads Manager which is more generalized, or LinkedIn Ads which is proprietary to LinkedIn. Otherwise these marketing programs serve more or less the same purpose...SEO and marketing.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The ease with which you can create and place ads is truly refreshing. It is of course very similar to the functionality of other social media based ads platforms. Still, overall, the ease of creating ads makes advertising more accessible to the general public, though ease of use is still not a guarantee of success in SEO and online advertising.

What do you dislike most about this product?

The price which Facebook charges for advertisements in order to reach an audience is considerably high. So where it does provide an easily accessible platform for the public to use for advertising, it inadvertently creates a barrier between them and anyone who cannot afford to be spending thousands of dollars monthly on advertising. The way the system works requires a large amount of money on the user's end in order to be truly effective, hence why larger companies are getting their ads seen more often than sole proprietors.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Do a cost vs benefit analysis prior to buying this product and make sure that Facebook Ads is the way you want to go. There are many social media platforms out there, and just as many SEO systems that are based on them. If you are looking to influence through a popularity contest approach, this is definitely the one for you, but it may cost you a bit to be effective. On the other hand, I can think of other systems which may be more beneficial if it is mainly business driving that is the end goal.

Pros

  • Helps Innovate
  • Reliable
  • Performance Enhancing
  • Enables Productivity
