288. Advantage+ Audience Targeting Traps to Avoid

288. Advantage+ Audience Targeting Traps to Avoid

Author: Salome Schillack July 10, 2025 Duration: 23:41

Discovered Meta secretly switching your Facebook ads to target 65+ year-olds instead of your actual buyers? 🚀

You're not losing your mind - Meta is literally sabotaging your targeting with sneaky Advantage+ defaults. I've been seeing online course creators pay through the nose for leads from the wrong countries, wrong ages, and wrong genders because Meta thinks their AI knows your business better than you do.

The truth is, while your cost per lead might look amazing, your webinar show-up rates are tanking and your email list is filling up with freebie hunters who'll never buy. I'm sharing exactly which settings to check right now to stop Meta from hijacking your campaigns.

🔥 In This Episode:

  • Discover the sneaky ways Meta defaults you into Advantage+ targeting

  • Learn why cheaper leads from Advantage+ actually cost you more money

  • Master the exact settings to regain control over who sees your ads

  • Understand when Advantage+ works (and when it destroys your results)

Ready to get your offers in front of people who actually want to buy from you (even If you've never touched Ads Manager)? Launch your First List-Building Ad in 5 Days - No Money Wasted, No Tech Headaches - Get the FREE Training HERE.💫
