"Ad network experience with this tool is helping alot"

What do you like best about Meta Audience Network?

With its excellent capabilities for deciding who sees your ads, Facebook is a fantastic tool for reaching a broad audience. To determine which advertising strategies and testing are most effective, you can try out various of them. Facebook Audience Network makes it simple to target users who might be interested in what you're selling when you advertise within apps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Meta Audience Network?

Because Facebook Audience Network requires accreditation, it can be a little difficult for beginners. Learning how to track conversions, produce compelling ads, and follow platform rules are all necessary steps in this process. This implies that new users may have trouble navigating and utilizing this advertising platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great for brand awareness outside of FB only, but not sales"
2.5/5
What do you like best about Meta Audience Network?

It's great for when I want to create brand awareness outside of Facebook. I am able to place my ads in third-party apps like a mobile app or game app while still utilizing FB ad manager features.

I get a huge reach and the ads are much cheaper CPM than Facebook or Instagram newsfeed ads.

I use the Audience Network when I plan to retarget the same viewers later on Facebook/Instagram after they have had some exposure to my brand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Meta Audience Network?

The conversion rate is very low, or almost nil. It costs a lot to optimize for sales.

What happens is that people are in a mobile app or game and unfortunately, they have to watch the video ad to continue the game or whatever else they were doing on the app.

That is why the video gets watched. People have no choice but to watch it to finish what they were playing or doing on the app. I think ads for other apps will perform best since the Audience Network consists of heavy app users.

It's unlikely that people will leave their app or game to make a purchase or give their email address, so this is still best for brand awareness or something that is very enticing with very low resistance. This has to also not divert them too far from what they were doing on the app.

It was not ideal for selling my digital product or for a CTA to join my FB group. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The scale is there, the results are mixed"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Meta Audience Network?

Reach is never a blocker. The level of granular targeting is a superpower. As is the ability to connect and integrate with other applications. I must admit the dashboard UI is among the best in class. Reporting is highly customizable to needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Meta Audience Network?

Sometimes it seems campaigns will spend your money at any cost, even the cost of questionable inventory and people (or bots). I want to have faith for the most part, but it is necessary to check campaign to campaign on the audience being tapped into and where. You are trusting Meta at the end of the day so...

"Great Platform for advertising and reaching diversified audiences around the world."
4/5
What do you like best about Meta Audience Network?

The best feature of this is it helps the company reach a massive audience in one place.Also it helps in organizing different ads and campaigns as per the target audience requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Meta Audience Network?

The thing I should say I dislike about this is it does not count the limit of ads to be shown to the target audience as showing a couple of same ads to the same audience continuously can be less effective and also cause fatigue among the audiences, which can lower the effectiveness of the campaign so organised.

"Great extended targeting, mixed results depending on campaign so not always ideal"
4/5
What do you like best about Meta Audience Network?

I like that Facebook Audience Network leverages the same great detailed targeting that all Facebook ads can leverage, while extending the ads to external properties that can improve key performance metrics and as performance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Meta Audience Network?

I dislike the lack of control in terms of where your ads are placed when leveraging Facebook Audience Network. I also dislike the lack of consistency that happens in terms of ad performance, as sometimes leveraging the network helps ad performance, while other times it does not, and there often does not seem to be much method to the madness. You're simply putting your full trust into Meta. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
