    Is Meta listening?

    In early October I posted

    Meta needs to ditch the horizontal ad placements and replace that asset bucket with one for 4:5 in the ad builder

    Earlier today, when editing the “Right Column, Search Results” placement it now shows 1:1 as the recommended size (in the one account I’m in that I did this in, so YMMV).

    The main Feeds placement bucket still says 1:1 recommended, but it looks like it’s trying to default to a 4:5 size in the preview pane. So change may be afoot there as well.

    A crop and trim menu displays options for aspect ratios with 1:1 labeled as recommended

    Creative became the new targeting. Now, creative velocity is becoming the performance bottleneck.

    It started with TikTok, where it was said creative had a 72 hour lifespan. Now Meta wants more, more, more

    According to Foxwell Digital, best practice is now:

    Every five to seven days, refresh your ad set with 5–10 new creatives that look and feel different.

    The other implication of that post is partner or die. If you’re not running partnership ads, what’s even the point? (is inferred)

    I say: follow your metrics (outside of Meta). Make your ads work for you, don’t work for your ads.

    Fistful of Google Ads Bits

    Google is continuing its transformation to Meta Ads:

    The agents are coming: Open Source Google Ads API MCP Server

    The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is the open standard that allows Large Language Models (LLMs), like Google Gemini, to connect with and act upon external data sources and applications. By releasing an MCP Server specifically for the Google Ads API, we are making it possible for any MCP-compatible AI application to understand and analyze advertising campaigns through natural language.

    (If you don’t know what any of that means, you’re fine.)

    Old news at this point, but Google is trying to toss some pennies at the publishers that took a traffic hit after its AI glow up with Offerwall:

    Offerwall lets publishers give their sites’ readers a variety of ways to access their content, including through options like micropayments, taking surveys, watching ads, and more.

    Block app placements: tools > content suitability > excluded placements

    Meta needs to ditch the horizontal ad placements and replace that asset bucket with one for 4:5 in the ad builder while improving the flexible media system to better align asset size with placement size.
