These are my own independent thoughts, and I am writing about topics that interest me. I hope you enjoy this journey of learning alongside me.
In today’s newsletter, we are going to cover:
Understanding Meta’s Ad Placements and how to use them.
Why your ad design relies on them on the placements
It is approximately a 3-minute read.
Actionable Tip
What you need to know: Meta places ads in various spots across their platforms (Facebook, Instagram, etc.). These placements come in three different sizes.
Why: If you only create one ad dimension, your ads will be restricted to placements that fit that specific size, limiting your reach and effectiveness.
How this is your advantage: Most advertisers only design their ads in one dimension—square, vertical, or wide. By creating your ads in all three dimensions, you can capitalize on opportunities others are missing.
Create your ads in all three dimensions.
Turn on ‘Advantage+ Placements’ at the Ad Set level in Ads Manager.
Upload all three sizes under ‘Media’ at the Ad Creative level and match appropriate dimensions to placement opportunities.

Deep Dive:
Ad placement is often overlooked, but it’s a critical element in maximizing your ad’s performance. Meta’s platforms offer a variety of placements—news feeds, stories, reels, and more. Each of these placements has its own optimal ad size. By designing your ads in all three dimensions, you ensure that your content is always delivered in the most effective format, no matter where it appears. This approach increases your ad’s visibility and relevance, giving you an edge over competitors who stick to a single size.
Most advertisers don’t take full advantage of Meta’s diverse placement options. They create one-size-fits-all ads, limiting their reach and effectiveness. But by tailoring your ads to fit each placement, you’re not just playing the same game—you’re playing it smarter. With ‘Advantage+ Placements’ turned on and the right ad sizes in place, your ads are set to perform better across Meta’s platforms. This simple tweak can significantly improve your ad results, driving better engagement and, ultimately, more conversions.
