Google AdSense provides a way for publishers to earn money from their online content. AdSense works by matching ads to your site based on your content and visitors. The ads are created and paid for by advertisers who want to promote their products. Since these advertisers pay different prices for different ads, the amount you earn will vary. AdSense displays relevant ads to your site visitors next to your content and allows you to customize the look and feel of ads to match your site.N/A

Chose Meta Business Manager
Overall, its a great tool that allows you to target to your audience, all the above tools have different audiences and if Meta Business Manager allows you to get to yours then I would advise for you to give it a try. But be sure to use an agency or get help if you are beginner …
Chose Meta Business Manager
I like that I can insert a direct link into a post to my website using Facebook Pages Manager. This feature is lacking in Instagram, e.g., and would be a welcome addition. It would be great to be able to manage the same campaign (and posts) using one platform.

I think any company selling a product or service can benefit from Google AdSense advertising as long as they come with a strategy of who to target with their Ad campaigns. If you just blanket anything and everything with your Google Ads it won't be as effective, and you will be wasting your spend

Meta Business Manger is well suited for large/medium and small organisations with single or multiple stake holders and products. It works very efficiently. Cases where app events are defined for android and iOS, it work wonders for campaign measurement and campaign level targeting. Meta Business Manager is very appropriate for running financial, educational, real estate, e-commerce related ads. Meta Business Manager is not appropriate if you have are into enterprise sales.

  • You have to look in multiple places for a full range of analytics
  • The way it handles ad spend can be unpredictable, so if you're on a budget, you have to make sure you're really watching your ad spend
  • For as much as Meta Business Manager pushes stories, reels, etc., the editing tools for this kind of content are limited or nonexistent.

I feel that Google AdSense has a plethora of features and detailed options for you to utilize when building campaigns. I do think there is room to make it more user friendly for beginning users. I had to request help from my Marketing team to build campaigns. Ultimately, that improvement would push my scoring to a 10.

The UI is easy and intuitive for any beginner, but it also has a lot of depth for more advanced users. There have been very few cases where I could not do something I wanted to do regarding media buying. However, there are big limitations regarding account management, admin settings, and user appeals.

Facebook is notoriously difficult to access for help and FBM is no exception. Only the chat feature will get someone in touch with you and then there is very limited help. The most they do is send links from their 'help section' without really offering much help at all. Business owners and directors need a person on the phone that can understand the problem and help fix it, not 'helpful links that have already been tried.

In addition to Taboola, we also looked at Amazon Associates. I believe the latter could have a place as a source of revenue for many small websites. As stated earlier, Adsense is simply the largest and easiest to use service out there for small to medium-sized websites. It offers the best tools and easiest path to monitization.

Facebook is a well-known platform that has to be utilized. It allows us to reach so many new customers and potential patients for our clients. As well as allows us to interact with them consistently and keep them informed or advertise to a new niche of people. The best part about Facebook Business Manager is its usability and reach!

  • Pro: It gives me a central place to manage my Page.
  • Pro: There are a lot of options to take advantage of, like Ads, available, which I hope to use more in the future.
  • Pro: The pixel has allowed me to connect Facebook data with my website, and has been a good referral source.
  • Con: There is so much I don't use because it is so complicated. I know I could get more use of it, but it's not going to happen anytime soon, and probably without help.
