Meta
- Multiple choice questions
- Optimize for conversions on site and in form at the same time
- Turn off autofill (no more old contact data?)
- SMS verification
- Form layout optimized to each user
- Promo codes
- Custom events based on post-form fill actions that signal a quality lead
- Change who performs the action
- “Changing who performs the action is rarely about targeting. Impact the people you attract with your ad copy, creative, and offer. Create form questions that apply to your ideal lead. You might even use conditional logic to kick out people who don’t qualify.”
- Question quality
- consider open-ended questions that aren’t easily answered with a yes/no or checkbox
- add conditional questions
- Optimize Landing Page > Confirmation Page > Outreach flow
- A bit on Conversion Leads optimization
- “When this is selected, Meta’s focus will be on finding people who perform other goal actions after submitting your form. To do this, you first need to define your funnel for Meta, which can be a long, frustrating process.”
- A bit on form types
- “More Volume” will be the most streamlined, making it as easy as possible to complete the form with the fewest steps.
- “Higher Intent” will require an additional confirmation step. While the difference may not be significant, it can impact quality.
- “Rich Creative” allows you to add more information to your form like social proof, incentives, and a product feed.

The system would then decide which Instagram and Facebook users to target and offer suggestions on budget
Meta also plans to enable advertisers to personalize ads using AI, so that users see different versions of the same ad in real time, based on factors such as geolocation
Are artisanal, hand crafted ads the future zig?

How will marketers react to uncertainty (thanks tariffs!)?
According to EMARKETERS Zach Goldner:
I think what marketers are going to do is what they always do during turbulent times.
Clamp down more on experimental spending
Reallocate more toward safer bets, like search > Lean more into the triopoly: Google, Meta, and Amazon
A Chinese pullback should lead to lower CPMs but be brave
Zig to the above zag
Now is the time for brand building and experimentation

You can set brand guidelines in Meta Ads Manager to help steer / personalize the AI to your brand for more on-brand generative options.
Another clear step towards less direct input from marketers and more genAI in the ads platform (and everywhere else) a.k.a. Zuck’s dream.
