The world of advertising has seen its fair share of challenges, and one of the biggest in recent memory was Apple’s iOS 14.5 update. When Apple limited tracking capabilities with its App Tracking Transparency (ATT) framework, advertisers everywhere predicted disaster for platforms like Meta (Facebook & Instagram).
But instead of floundering, Meta Ads have proven remarkably resilient. Why? Because Meta is a powerhouse of machine learning. Its ability to aggregate insights, demographics, and behavioral data enables unparalleled ad targeting and performance, even in a more privacy-focused world.
However, despite Meta’s capabilities, some brands struggle to achieve a great return on ad spend (ROAS). The secret? Success lies in mastering the fundamentals of messaging, content, and conversion tracking.
Keep reading to find out how your business can leverage Meta Ads and share in this success too.
Meta Ads Are Winning the Machine Learning Game
Advertising is fundamentally about connecting with the right audience. Meta excels in this area thanks to its advanced machine learning algorithms.
Even as user-level data has become more challenging to access, Meta’s platform combines insights from billions of users, aggregated demographics, and your device’s behavioural signals to deliver hyper-relevant ads.
The result? Ads that feel personalised without crossing the line into invasive, a feat achieved through unmatched technical prowess.
While Meta’s platform is a game-changer, the real challenge lies in how businesses use it. Simply running ads isn’t enough; you need to implement a strategy that maximises Meta’s full potential.
How to Unlock Superior ROAS with Meta Ads
Achieving great ROAS on Meta isn’t rocket science, but it does require focus and precision. Here are the core steps every brand must follow:
- Start with Clear Messaging
Your ad must communicate exactly what your product or service does and why it matters. Don’t overcomplicate it—be clear, concise, and compelling. Your message should resonate with your audience immediately. - Hook Your Audience with Great Content
In the crowded digital space, you have seconds—if not milliseconds—to capture attention. Use bold visuals, unexpected hooks, and emotionally resonant storytelling to stop the scroll and draw people in. - Build a Landing Page Designed to Convert
A great ad will fall flat without an equally great landing page. Ensure your page:- Loads fast.
- Offers a seamless user experience.
- Contains one clear action (e.g., purchase, sign-up, or download).
Keep distractions to a minimum and guide your audience to take the next step.
Track Conversions Accurately with Offline Attribution
Conversion tracking is critical to improving ROAS. Meta’s platform shines when you provide it with actionable data. Use offline attribution to track conversion actions that align with your campaign objectives—whether it’s purchases, sign-ups, or visits to your physical store. This feedback loop helps Meta’s algorithms optimise your ads for better performance.
The Power of Meta Ads Post-iOS 14.5
Meta’s success after iOS 14.5 highlights an important truth: even in a world of limited data access, the right tools and strategies can deliver outstanding results. Brands that invest in:

- Compelling creative
