FB has superb and efficient Ads Managing Software

What differentiates Meta Ads Manager from other similar products?

I love using META for ads mainly because I can share the ads across Instagram and FB, however the options for adjusting the ads to meet specific needs is exceptional. Targeting the correct audience within a region and monitoring have always been one of the most beneficial and reliable attributes within META for its business advertisement software.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Sharing across multiple social media platforms and being able to moderate what is working the best within the ads. Once this is analyzed, I can make adjustments according to my aimed target, even during the campaign's activeness. For example, I do photograph, so a mostly visual ad is need, and META'S feature called Dynamic Creative helps me target and adjust the ads by choosing what works best with images and text combined to create a more engaging ad for my targeted audience.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Sometimes I have to wait too long for customer service to respond to a question or concern of mine.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Definitely try to be as specific as possible in terms of your business needs and goals when creating an Ad for wide exposure. Also, learning what features are offered can broaden options for targeting and creativity within the Ad distribution.

Pros

  • Helps Innovate
  • Continually Improving Product
  • Reliable
  • Performance Enhancing

Still one of the most powerful ad platforms around

Likeliness to Recommend

8 /10

What differentiates Meta Ads Manager from other similar products?

Meta Ads Manager empowers marketers to promote content efficiently and effectively on major Meta-owned social networks including Facebook, Instagram and Messenger along with the wider Audience Network. This means you can target an enormous audience. While some targeting capabilities have been adjusted in the last twelve months due to various legal and privacy changes, it is still an invaluable tool for high-performance advertising.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The ability to upload first-party customer data into the platform to show them new offers or to use the look-a-like feature which essentially tells Facebook to find users who have similar attributes to those who have already used your services or purchased from you. I also like the ability to split-test creative to gain deeper insights into the messaging, copy, and visuals that resonate with our prospective customers.

What do you dislike most about this product?

You need to spend a significant amount of money to gain access to a Customer Success Manager. If your budgets aren't competitive with some of the biggest companies, you'll need to rely on their Facebook Support teams - and it's pot-luck whether they have the knowledge to solve your issues. There is A LOT of data in the platform (which is great) but there are hardly any reports or tools to help you visualise those performance figures.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Make sure you don't leave the creation of your paid campaigns until the last minute. It doesn't happen often but Meta does warn that it can take several days to moderate. Take a look at Facebook's personal attributes policies to help avoid any unexpected delays. There are some strict rules on what you can and can't put in your creatives. If you want to maximise value from the platform, take the Facebook Blueprint course. Make time to explore the Meta Ads Manager platform. Although it looks complex, creating campaigns can be done relatively quickly once you know what you're doing.

Pros

  • Unique Features
  • Helps Innovate
  • Continually Improving Product
  • Reliable

Cons

  • Less Efficient Service
  • Vendor Friendly Policies
  • Charges for Enhancements

Powerful End-To-End Social Media Management tool.

Likeliness to Recommend

8 /10

What differentiates Meta Ads Manager from other similar products?

This was a major game-changer when I converted to it from another paid service because it has helped me to optimize the material and ensure that I am posting the most interesting, pertinent, and high-quality stuff for my clients’ followers. My clients’ traffic has increased and climbed by a whopping 100% more performance than with the prior solution, and I have witnessed engagement rise like never before. I appreciate how quickly new features are being added to Meta for business tools, and I’m looking forward to what the future holds for it.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The most effective tool and one that is most helpful to me as a social media management company, in addition to the advantages of Meta for Business and what I do enjoy about their business solutions, is the potent Creator Studio. The Facebook Creator Studio completely changed the way I handle the Facebook and Instagram pages of my clients. It allows my staff complete control over the information I share, and the insights it offers are quite useful.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Even though I like how quickly this platform is developing, my staff and clients don’t enjoy how Meta interacts with them anytime a service, product, or capacity is updated.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

I like how Meta for Business makes it simpler for companies, in particular SMM agencies like us, to manage over 40 accounts at once, produce content, schedule, and publish, and have complete authority over everything while keeping it simple with a user-friendly, easy-to-use UI and UX, as usually, they are. Meta for Business not only has an extensive list of options to make it easier for organizations to make ads and to motivate them to run more ads on their platform.

Pros

  • Helps Innovate
  • Continually Improving Product
  • Performance Enhancing
  • Unique Features

Cons

  • Charges for Enhancements
