Constantly changing, poor advertising support

8 /10

What differentiates Meta Ads Manager from other similar products?

Facebook Ads Manager is a required platform for those who can't afford to go through a third party. If you can afford to avoid the headache of FB's ad platform - I implore you to do it.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

I do love the custom and lookalike audience options to expand targeting while simultaneously narrowing it down. Also love the introduction to Audience Network that essentially brings display ads to the laymen.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Very ineffective and frustrating support. Constantly updating and when the platform updates, the features glitch which can impact ad delivery.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Take the Facebook Blueprint - not necessarily with the goal of purchasing a certification, but for learning the platform. Do not go to outside sources for training as FB regularly updates and changes its interface making outside training sources obsolete.

Pros

  • Includes Product Enhancements
  • Helps Innovate
  • Continually Improving Product
  • Performance Enhancing

Cons

  • Less Effective Service
  • Wastes Time
  • Leverages Incumbent Status

Customization is better. Has the A/B testing that helps.

Getting from one page to the other is a bit complicated. You usually have to go back to page before.

It works. It's trustworthy. Targets are true to estimate.

Pros

  • Continually Improving Product
  • Performance Enhancing
  • Trustworthy
  • Caring
