Metadata unlocks the power of b2b on facebook
- b2b audience matching on FB
- lead enrichment
- A/B testing analysis
- Attribution
- Native functionality from ad platforms
- editing live campaigns
Metadata helped us transform our Paid Social program - it's saved 100s of hours and proved millions in pipeline
- Best paid ops tool I've ever used (and I've used a lot): we can launch a new LinkedIn & Facebook campaign in minutes.
- Lead gen ops: no more dealing with broken zapier zaps, we are able to automate pushing native lead gen leads directly to our CRM.
- Attribution: see influenced & triggered opportunities/CW deals
- Multivariate testing: Metadata scales audience, ad, creative testing so you learn what performs much faster than manual process
- Audience matching: there are great audience capabilities, but there are sometimes errors in matching ABM type audiences.
- Data visualization
- Running lots of ad variations and tests at once
- Consolidating account management and ad execution on multiple platforms in one interface.
- It was difficult to set goals on the individual campaign level vs. all ad campaigns
- It seems like the automation in-platform is better than what Metadata provides so you can have better results running ads natively.
- They have some work to do to improve the user experience for running experiments because it is one of their best features but it's hard to use.
Great tool for full funnel attribution!

- integration with bing ads
- more advanced settings available from the native platforms
- ability to run campaigns with smaller budgets

- If you're new to the platform, its easy to get lost in the system and not know what to do
Review for Metadata.
- Audience creation functionality.
- Top-tier support.
- Pricing is competitive and affordable.
- The bidding section is confusing.
- Creating and organizing campaigns is not as easy as other software.
- I wish I could build more complex logic into audience segmentation (like you can in Marketo).
Unlimited campaign experimentation without the hassle
- Intuitive UI
- Report on audiences and ads
- Easy campaign setup on multiple ad platforms
- Editing the currently running campaigns instead of having to create a new one to change small things
- Quicker rollout of new platforms and Hubspot integration
Great job at b2b custom audiences.
- Facebook audience creation using work emails.
- Cross-channel budget optimization (automatically).
- Uniform reporting.
- If you don't have a large budget and audience it's hard to meaningfully optimize. If I have 4 ad creatives, to 2 audience groups on FB and LinkedIn, that creates 16 experiments, each of which needs an ample enough budget, say $40/day, that's now $640 per day or $19K per month.
- Limited ability to edit ads after they've been launched. You usually have to stop the ad, clone it, and launch a new campaign.
- Can't add new ads to existing campaigns which limits the ability to optimize. If I start an MD campaign with 4 ads, and in a few weeks we see that one is working well and the other 2 are not performing, I can pause those (or it can autopause by rules), but I can't add 2 more new creatives to the mix against the high performer. I'd have to either stop the high performer, and recreate it in a new campaign (losing likes and comments), OR - leave the high performer in the first campaign, and create. a second campaign with the new ones, which will only optimize against each other.
- Limited to a single conversion event on a landing page. I'm not able to choose either a Demo Request OR a Sign-Up conversion, I can only choose one.
- Google search ads are doable but aren't necessarily more feature-rich or easy-to use than native, so there's no value added to doing it through Metadata in my opinion aside from unifying ad reporting.
Nice features but could do a lot of things better

Additionally, Metadata is great for advertisers looking to expand their B2C audiences, as the platform utilizes several different data aggregators to create unique audiences based on interests, intent, etc. However, as a B2B advertiser, we were unable to take full advantage of this tool due to its limited data on these audience types.
Metadata.io - a major timesaver and godsend.
- Advertising testing
- Advertising reporting
- Advertising optimization
- Reporting could be a bit more visual
Metadata.io has been great for us!
- Full Funnel ROI
- Experiment to find best results
- Customer Support
- More advanced settings from the Ad platforms to metadata.io would be nice
- More intuitive dashboards
- Ability to re-use campaigns without having to duplicate and copy.
- Paid Advertising Revenue Reporting
- B2B Audiences for Traditionally B2C Advertising Platforms
- Automated Budget and Spend Optimization
- Cleaner campaign build structure in native platforms
- Edit campaigns in platform rather than relaunch
Great for B2B paid social.
- Third-party audience creation.
- Paid social creative management.
- Budget management at scale.
- Google ads campaign structure is limiting to the point we cannot use it.
- A limited number of channels we can send audiences to and run ads on (no Twitter, Reddit, Google Display, etc).
- Pricing negotiation was frustrating because they initially anchored 3X higher than they were willing to settle at.
The B2B Marketing Tool We Always Wanted for Paid Social Media
- The onboarding process, live training, and support we get from our customer success team are second to none!
- Metadata has greatly helped us to hone in on our very niche B2B audience with new audience types not available natively in LinkedIn and Facebook.
- Thanks to Metadata, we can now attribute MQLs and, more importantly, sales pipeline to specific ads which makes optimization so much more efficient and also helps us create more banners and ad copy like our top-performing content.
- We've improved our lead quality significantly now that we are getting business emails for the majority of leads (something that seemed impossible previously) and thanks to Metadata's lead enhancement, we're now providing our sales teams with more information about each lead and their company so they can have more productive outreach.
- Nothing major to mention here, every month there are new enhancements. The software is easy to use (if you do the training and onboarding correctly). In only a few months we've seen the product evolve greatly and provide many new features that we asked for.
- Automating paid social and paid search campaigns
- Providing data on paid social leads that we wouldn't have had otherwise (like business email address)
- Providing white-glove professional services to audit campaigns regularly and provide time advice all with a share Slack channel
- Sometimes focuses too much on driving MQLs rather than getting the message to the right audience
- Sometimes too encouraging of using direct response paid social and the use of eBook downloads, etc.
- Encourages use of display, which typically is ineffective for most B2B companies
Metadata is a good alternative when you don't have internal resources for ABM Management
- Understood ABM concepts
- Interaction with the company's management was easy
- Reports were sent regularly and I knew where we stood
- Dashboard was hard to utilize, they needed to walk us through it
- Knowledge of LinkedIn nuances were less than expected
- First 6 month intro pricing was affordable but then prices spiked
Metadata.io is an essential part of our digital marketing team!
- Ease of Use
- Customer Support
- Submitting changes to campaigns.
- Simplified executive dashboards.
