Why Matching Ads to Funnel Stage Works

It’s not just about running ads — it’s about running the right ads at the right time. By pairing the funnel with the right platforms, you’ll create a system that meets people exactly where they are.

Top of Funnel: Discovery with Meta (Facebook/Instagram)

Best for: Awareness

  • Meta’s targeting is unmatched for discovery.

  • Use videos, carousels, or photos to highlight:

    • Who you are

    • What problem you solve

    • Why people should care

  • Keep it light, visual, and memorable — you’re not asking for a purchase yet.
