Meta Business Manager's targeting capabilities are not as advanced for B2B as LinkedIn, but it drives much more efficient costs and still does a great job at finding your ICP.

LinkedIn Marketing has audience targeting that is much more focused on the professional aspects of a user, such as skills, job title, and company size. Facebook, on the other hand, is more focused on the audience interests. As a B2B business, it is thus hard to choose which …

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 selected Facebook pages manager because it is an easy product to learn and doesn’t involve having an additional login or account to use. This is simple for busy business owners and takes a little more off of their plate.

When utilizing a Lookalike audience based off a client's Current Customer list, Meta Business Manager does a great job in identifying who our ICP is. Pair that that CAPI and the platform is nearly fool proof. We have generated some of the highest pipeline through Meta Business Manager when done correctly, and the channel has great potential. We find that Lead Generation with Mid-funnel content drives more pipeline than direct response or Demo offers. Webinars and On-Demand webinars perform well on Meta Business Manager as well.

  • The only thing I have noticed is when on my device, it calls out a list of names that have shared your post, and it only shows one. On the computer it will let you scroll down and see all of them.

Usability
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.

When it comes to B2B marketing, we feel Meta Business Manager lacks a bit and we go for more specific targetting via LinkedIn Ads and LinkedIn Sales Navigator. Also, for inbound lead generation we use Google Search Ads.

Return on Investment
  • Meta Business Manager allows us to see all of our content posted to Instagram and Facebook in one place, which is valuable for basic-level engagement fluctuation data.
  • Meta Business Manager doesn't really have tools to measure overall performance against ourselves or similar institutions, so even with years of content "banked" in its history, we still have to rely on outside tracking to determine our benchmarks.
  • Facebook is still the primary place for our older audience to engage with our institution, so it's nice to be able to do most of our posting on Instagram where our primary audience is and carry over only what is relevant to Facebook through Meta Business Manager.
