    Meta Business Suite is a good paid media option that offers several features for building ad campaigns, which other paid media channels lack. The usability is generally good, but it probably isn't quite as intuitive as Google, as a comparison. LinkedIn is behind all of these …

    In my opinion the Google products give me a better result that I am looking for - which is what - but more of my customers need to be reached on the Meta Business Suite platforms, and that is where I need to be. We have to be where our customers are, not just the feedback that …

    Meta Business Suite is super easy, and it's also free compared to Hootsuite. Hootsuite, in comparison, can manage a wider variety of platforms, but Meta crushes it for any of its native platforms that you add to the account. If you have Instagram or Facebook, you must have Meta …

    In my opinion, all three platforms are much better - with the exception of their customer service (excluding HubSpot) - I think LinkedIn and Google are just as poor in this area.

    Hootsuite is effective for scheduling posts across multiple social media feeds. Hootsuite offers Facebook, Instagram, X, LinkedIn, Pinterest, YouTube, TikTok and Google Business Profile integration, and you can use Google Analytics with it, but it no longer offers a free plan.

    I believe since YouTube started with shorts, TikTok with their incentives for small businesses, and also Snapchat with their incentives for small businesses, it was time for Facebook/Meta to step up to the plate. Around late 2020/early 2021, Facebook/Meta offered small-business …
