“Half of SMBs fail within five years, and social media has become one of the key ways to differentiate, capture loyalty and grow,” said Marc Pickren, CEO at OutboundEngine. “Yet the complexity of buying ads on Facebook and Instagram stops many SMBs from taking full advantage of their social presence for exposure. Social Ads democratizes the process by seamlessly merging marketing and advertising efforts, making it easy not only to promote your brand on social networks, but to convert leads in perpetuity.”

Designed to ease SMBs’ biggest social media pain points, Social Ads captures prospective customers directly within a social media platform, including Facebook and Instagram, via a feature called conversion ads. It creates strategic and relevant ad messaging that drives traffic either to a customer’s website or to form fill-outs within the social platform. Completing the suite of services, Social Ads oversees content posting, manages targeting options and measures each placement with performance analytics.
