Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Metadata to manage our lead gen campaigns on Facebook and LinkedIn. We define the budgets here, manage ad creatives, manage audiences and run experiments across these channels. We also have an integration with Bombora to target audiences that have shown intent across defined topics. We have used their onboarding and campaign advice on a bi-weekly basis before running things on our own.

Pros

Insights in one place.
Providing ROI data by connecting to our Salesforce org.
Single UI to manage campaigns.
Content on ad creative best practices.

Cons

Bombora integration was not automated (at the time).
Does not support all creative types.

Likelihood to Recommend

Metadata is well suited when you have a really large ad budget (>50k per month at least). This is because the power of metadata lies in the ability to quickly set up and run a large number of experiments (combinations of channel, audience, creative, and conversion assets). To evaluate these variations, all of them need a large number of impressions, clicks, and conversions to be statistically relevant. If your budget is smaller, you will either have a very small number of experiments (not fully utilizing the power of metadata), or your experiments will not have enough clicks to make informed decisions. We had expected a better explanation of this from metadata before signing up.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Metadata.io manages a significant amount of our advertising spend. Their offer includes optimizing software and a specialized services team to help ensure we deliver quality ads to the right audiences. MD connects with our CRM which allows for easy bottom-of-funnel tracking and performance. I'm able to save a lot of time with the ability to duplicate campaigns, and it's the only way that allows for effective B2B targeting on Facebook.

Pros

Optimizing ad experiments.
Revenue performance tracking.
Audience building.

Cons

Better timing product updates when ad platforms release products.
Some limited ad formats.

Likelihood to Recommend

Any digital marketer is looking to improve ad effectiveness with limited internal headcount/team growth. Their professional services team is incredible, and the software performs just as sold for me. If you already have an agency running your ads, I don't think it makes sense to have both. I recommend one or the other.

Metadata unlocks the power of b2b on facebook

Rating: 10 out of 10

March 20, 2023

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Metadata.io is the perfect tool for unlocking b2b advertising on Facebook. Without it, I am not able to build the same high quality audiences like I can on Linkedin. Additionally, their lead enrichment capabilities and reporting infrastructure in general means that I never have to guess which campaigns are bringing in quality leads and more importantly, revenue.

Pros

b2b audience matching on FB
lead enrichment
A/B testing analysis
Attribution

Cons

Native functionality from ad platforms
editing live campaigns

Likelihood to Recommend

if you are looking to advertise on FB you need to use some sort of data solution like metadata.io. While the platform takes a bit to learn, the fact that you can launch multiple different ad channels from the same UI (google, LI, meta) means that it's super powerful and worth the learning curve.

Metadata helped us transform our Paid Social program - it's saved 100s of hours and proved millions in pipeline

March 20, 2023

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Metadata to run all our paid social campaigns (LinkedIn & Facebook ads). It's dramatically cut down the amount of time it's takes us to launch new campaigns, create ads, and optimize performance. We also are able to see how our paid social campaigns impact actually pipeline via the CRM integration. It's made it possible to know what the ROI and actual pipeline contributions. Before Metadata, this was not possible.

Pros

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

Cons

Audience matching: there are great audience capabilities, but there are sometimes errors in matching ABM type audiences.

Likelihood to Recommend

if you launch new campaigns/ads on a weekly/bi-weekly basis, you will save soooo much time If you need help attributing pipeline, revenue, Metadata makes it easy If you have a small team and want to do large scale testing, Metadata makes that possible

Metadata is good if you're strapped for people resources.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Metadata to help support paid ad campaigns on LinkedIn and Facebook. The Metadata team provided support for campaign set up, budget allocation, and testing to help optimize ad performance. Metadata was brought on to help augment a small team.

Pros

Data visualization
Running lots of ad variations and tests at once
Consolidating account management and ad execution on multiple platforms in one interface.

Cons

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.

Likelihood to Recommend

Metadata is great if you're managing a lot of accounts and you want to do things from one interface. It's also great for teams that don't have the resources to spend a lot of time setting up ads, allocating budget, and adjusting campaigns based on performance. They can really benefit small teams or teams with less experience running paid ads.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Metadata.io changed the way we look at our lead channels by taking the lead all the way through to a closed-won opportunity in SalesForce. This allows us to optimize campaigns for the ultimate end goal and not just the conversion which is the completion of a form. This helps us realize ROI in a much better way.

Pros

attribution
lead enhancement
experiments

Cons

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

Likelihood to Recommend

Very likely to recommend to people that have the ability to pull in attribution full funnel.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Metadata makes it easy for small teams to do more. Skip the traditional route and bring all of your ads to one place. It helps you improve your audiences, targeting, and retargeting, and eliminate the stress of advertiser UI. It brings all of your reports to a central hub giving an un-siloed view of your ad landscape.

Pros

Audience Matching
Customer Support/Technical Support

Cons

Reports
Attribution views
Audience views
Multiple Goals

Likelihood to Recommend

If you are looking for an agency to run for you this is not that, if you do not have a budget, this will not be for you. But! When you doo have large budgets and complicated budgeting systems to run many ads at once, this is your tool for a comprehensive ad strategy.

Metadata is the best solution for running social ads at scale

Rating: 9 out of 10

March 18, 2023

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Metadata helps us with creating audiences, targeting them with ads, and enriching those conversions in our MA software. It can be used for target social, search, and display advertising and also helps optimize spend based on which ads and channels are performing best - whether you want to optimize to pipeline, MQLs, SQLs or whatever.

Pros

Optimized and highly target social advertising
Lead enrichment
ROI tracking

Cons

User experience could be a little bit better
Sometimes things don't work quite the way you want them to
If you're new to the platform, its easy to get lost in the system and not know what to do

Likelihood to Recommend

Metadata is excellent for B2B companies that know their target audience and need to test and optimize performance to get leads. They also have a wonderful support team, so it could be the right choice if you're marketing team is short handed. I would not use Metadata for B2C products and services.

Review for Metadata.

Rating: 8 out of 10

March 14, 2023

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Although I don't have much recent experience with the tool, We have a very large Techstack and Metadata is certainly one of the tops in terms of customer success and support. They are extremely responsive to any needs that have come up in the past. The interface is also very simple to use and navigate.

Pros

Audience creation functionality.
Top-tier support.
Pricing is competitive and affordable.

Cons

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).

Likelihood to Recommend

From what I recall, a few years back, the onboarding experience was very smooth. Our CSM has been exceptionally knowledgeable and helpful. She's very responsive, well-organized, and on top of her game. Once you have that ICP in Metadata, it's really easy to target this audience with experiments across channels-and you can have your campaigns up and running asap.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We started using Metadata.io to test Linkedin-level targeting on other platforms like Facebook, where we saw good engagement due to the relevant targeting. It's also great that we can easily launch campaigns on multiple platforms with a few clicks, and that we are able to see the aggregated performance of different audiences and ads in one place - not having to manually download reports from different ad managers. Our customer success team was eager to help to set up the system and educate us along the way.

Pros

Intuitive UI
Report on audiences and ads
Easy campaign setup on multiple ad platforms

Cons

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

Likelihood to Recommend

Use Metadata.io if: You have a well-described target audience and you want to reach them on non-B2B platforms as well, not just on Linkedin. You want to see ad and audience performance across different platforms. It saves a lot of time and helps generate insights quicker. You have a decent budget and you don't need to micro-manage and adjust the campaigns, budgets, ads every other day, then Metadata.io's campaign creation will work as a charm for you.
