    • Edgar works best if you already have enough (or plan on keep adding more) evergreen content to avoid too much repetition. This will of course be dependent on the frequency of your schedule as well as how refined your categories are.
    • Edgar works for Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn currently, and it doesn't seem like they will be adding more networks in the near future.

    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.

    Cons
    Roeder Studios Inc.
    • The reporting is very limited. There's no dashboards or easy way to track how your posts are performing.
    • Honestly, that's the only recommendation I have—everything else works great!

    • 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.

    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 terms of evergreen content promotion, Buffer and AgoraPulse offer very basic functionalities in this regard. We were looking for something that would enable us to categorize our evergreen content and Edgar is the only product on the market then that does this. We no longer need to manually re-post anything and only need to focus on content-creation. It is worth noting that we are still using Buffer in conjunction with MeetEdgar, where the former takes care of our new content while the latter will continually share the best content of the bunch.

    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!

    • Takes out so much of the guesswork of posting at the best times. It uses the best general times and then uses your own post data to adjust to optimal times specifically for your business.
    • Measures engagement on your posts so that you know what content is the most effective
    • Helps me track my measurement goals through reporting.

    • 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.
