We're growing our demand gen and social ads play a big role. Using Metadata significantly lowers our cost of acquisition and has improved the quality of the leads we're generating.

The fact that I can create extremely targeted audiences based on firmographics, intent, etc. It also integrates with my CRM which is really helpful. The onboarding and customer service has been great and very helpful as well.

Nothing yet, onboarding and running campaigns have been smooth.

Metadata has been an exceptional partner for me as we have a very small marketing team. They have been working very closely to us, helping me not only to manage the campaigns but also suggesting improvements. Their customer service is excellent.

They offer flexible ways to targeting your account list on different digital channels. I can optimize and control the investment per campaign/segment.

Creating and organizing campaigns is not as easy as other software.

Overall, I feel that this platform has great potential but they definitely need to be subscribing to the platforms and digital marketing in general best practices. I think that I would try them out at a different company. We have had pretty good service as well, they are responsive but don't always listen or don't make it clear to their internal team some concerns of the clients.

The lead enrichment is great and we have seen some very high quality leads come through our lead gen efforts with Metadata.

They told us that they could get almost the exact same quality of leads on Facebook that we do on LinkedIn and we have yet to really see that. The capabilities that they have with Facebook was the reason that we chose to try this out and honestly, right now it's not looking that great. We haven't had very many leads and the ones that have come through don't seem to be on par with LinkedIn for the most part. One other aspect that is frustrating is their team that optimizes your campaigns makes changes almost on a daily basis which never allows the platforms to truly optimize and I think that could be one of the reasons Facebook has not worked as well. We have heard from other companies that they have seen amazing success with this so I am not sure what is going on with ours. Hopefully we can figure it out. Last, the way they set up the experiments is just launching a ton of different campaigns which makes your account look messy and it's hard to really figure out what's what with their naming conventions.

Metadata is essential for any organization that wants to accelerate its ABM success. Their CS team works hand-in-hand to set up and test a variety of experiments aligned to your ABM goals, and can quickly scale up a journey-based content distribution plan (advertising). The best part is this program can be run by a one-person marketing team in a high-growth start-up. The team at Metadata is always sharing new strategies and ideas to test with their platform—it's almost like an agency approach—which is very helpful to get the most out of the investment in this platform. Using Metadata along-side additional outbound tactics, we were able to drive triple-digit growth in the pipeline with one of our core verticals.

Uncovering a data-driven ideal customer profile (ICP) using the actual opportunity data within salesforce. ICPs shouldn't be developed from the gut or guesswork, and Metadata makes it fast to get an initial read on an ICP using real data. This is essential for successful ABM results. It does require that you have actual customer data so if you're a company still in market validation -- this won't help. Once you have that ICP in Metadata, it's really easy to target this audience with experiments across channels—and you can have your campaigns up and running in days...which is key when you have goals to hit! The other feature that's amazing is their ability to match B2B audiences on Facebook. It's often difficult for B2B advertisers to generate meaningful segments, aligned to ABM accounts on Facebook. Metadata opens up this channel for way more effective ABM advertising on that platform.

To be successful with Metadata, you need to have an advertising budget that's $10k or more per month, and the wherewithal to stick with testing and optimizing campaigns for a few months. Metadata makes it easy to run thousands of experiments quickly! But you need budget and a little time to get to success. Also, it's essential that you have a content strategy, and ongoing content development to fuel this platform. These requirements can make it hard for underfunded start-ups with limited resources to get value out of the platform. BUT, if you do have a clear ICP, content for that ICP, and some dollars to put toward getting your message out -- Metadata is a rocketship for strategically distributing content across channels, at every stage of the ICP journey. The platform has some bugs, but their amazing CS team makes up for it because they are VERY responsive and resolve issues fast.

I like that I'm able to scale my digital marketing experiments to quickly determine what's working and what's not. We were able to spin up 72 experiments, narrow it down to the most effective 11, then optimize our ad spend with their machine learning, which ultimately accelerated our inbound marketing efforts both for net new names and our target accounts. I feel more confident that we're making data-informed decisions to optimize our marketing mix and build a reliable growth machine for our ABM. I'm really excited to launch more campaigns and try to target different audience segments and influence deals at different stages of the funnel. The onboarding experience was very smooth, and our CSM has been exceptionally knowledgeable and helpful. She's very responsive, well organized and on top of her game.

I wish I could build more complex logic into the audience segmentation (like you can in Marketo). Even if you could use boolean search string, that would make the segmentation even more powerful. The second thing I'd like is to be able to match more leads to accounts. For example, if someone converts on a Facebook lead gen form, they could be using their personal email. It's every B2B marketer's dream to automatically enrich that data and match it to the right account. I know this is a lot to ask for in any platform, and I do love that Metadata does enrich data, but in a perfect world, we would be able to match everyone.

Metadata provides us with a wide range of strategies and audience information, as well as a single platform from which we can run all of our online advertisements across many networks and track success throughout our whole paid advertising strategy.

The reporting is one of the least appealing components of this show. The reporting tool in Metadata takes much too long to sync with what Salesforce has done.

Customer support is excellent. Reporting, optimization recommendations are solid.

One platform that creates multiple experiments in support of demand. Takes the paid social role/function off of the person/team and streamlines paid social operationally and strategically. Automates the optimization you would typically do in each individual ad platform and optimizes towards the highest performing audience, creative and offer.

Attribution piece is a bit skewed and not reflective of actuals in CRM

The Metadata support team is nice and responsive. Metadata itself is a sleek tool. It has been a good experience overall thusfar.

I really like how fast it is to create new ads when you want to. I feel that the interface is much more user friendly than the native platforms. There are a couple of quirks but once you know what they are you are good to go.

The budget and bidding section is a bit confusing, even after having worked in it this long.

Overall, Metadata is a solid provider of marketing data and campaign insights. There are plenty of improvements that can still be made within the platform, but with continued development, Metadata could easily become the leader in the automated marketing space.

Metadata offers a variety of campaign structures and audience data, while also serving as a single point to deploy all of our digital ads across multiple channels and easily compare metrics across our entire paid ads structure.

There are a few inefficiencies within the developing platform that still need to be worked out. An inability to edit campaigns once launched, clear identifiers if a campaign has errors, etc are all minor problems that can add up to slow down a company's go-to-market.

Easy option to remove metadata with little training needed for employees.

It's very easy to use and scrubs your metadata off with a couple clicks. There is very little training needed so users are up and running quickly.

In a terminal server environment it doesn't seem to always work correctly. Especially if you are using Sharefile. This hasn't been resolved yet.

I am a beginner when it comes to optimizing websites and this product helped me figure out what to do and how to do it. We had amazing results and Metadata helped us get there

Love it

Might not be easy to understand at first but if you use metadata you will figure it out.

I am a marketing consultant who was looking to try Account Based Marketing for a number of clients. After numerous conversations with colleagues and peers, I found out that while the big players in the space talk a big game, but the results were marginal at best. I came across Metadata through a friend and decided to give it a try for a helpdesk software client. Metadata was able to work wonders. They were able to target by title and profile, generating MQLs we couldn't otherwise get through any other types of online marketing, much less paid social.

Impressive targeting capabilities, value added speedy landing page design and deployment and ad creation. Experts on the team were able to quickly translate my company's needs into what they have to do on their end to make it work.

There were two instances where I didn't listen to Metadata's recommendation and the campaign suffered as a result. You guys are the experts in the field and need to stand firm on your recommendations.

Good

Closed-loop attribution across your target accounts

Difficult to access because file size it large

Overall it's been a great experience with great support from the Metadata team to help launch and optimize social media campaigns.

Easily create target advertising lists and seamlessly target your lists with social media ad campaigns (LinkedIn & Facebook). Quick to deploy campaigns and consolidated reporting makes management of reporting much simpler.

Sometimes recent changes in requirements from respective social media platforms are not reflected in Metadata.

I love the audience creation functionality as well as our ability to test dozens of top of funnel offers with each audience.

It would be great if it integrated with more platforms like AdWords, Quora, etc.

That the data are consulted quickly and efficiently.

It is very useful for companies, as it allows to ensure and protect that the most relevant data and information are used properly. In this way, sharing the data is easier, and the diffusion of these is done in a more fluid way

If we do not know the origin system from which we started when there are different coordinate systems, the innovations to unify and process the information together can not be carried out.

I liked to integration into SFDC and how it optimizes ads based on your set needs. For us it was SALs and Opps.

In order to test multiple variances, you'll need a substantial budget. I think it took too much money and time to start bring CPL down to an acceptable number.

Great customer service!

It's really easy to use and very much catered to our company's needs and goals!

Understanding how to use it, best practices.

So far it's been great! We have a very large Techstack that we use and Metadata is certainly one of the top in terms of customer success and support.

I'm very new to my organization and also new to Metadata so having a dedicated CSM team available to help me build and launch my campaigns strategically is incredibly valuable. They do most of the heavy-lifting and are always willing to offer insights into how to improve reach and conversions of our ads.

N/A haven't been using it long enough to weigh in on this

Our overall experience has been positive. Our marketing team is able to put up big pipeline numbers on a quarterly basis thanks to Metadata!

What I like most about metadata is the ability to get my stories and messages in front of key stakeholders within large enterprise companies.

What I like the least about this software is the reporting. It takes a while for the reporting functionality inside of Metadata to match what we have set up inside of Salesforce.

Given that Facebook doesn't have amazing B2B targeting anymore (given partner audiences were rolled back), I see a lot of value in using audiences generated by Metadata for Facebook. This makes it easy to reach clients' ICP and key decision makers.

I found a lot of what Metadata offers you can already do within the LinkedIn Ads dashboard, given they already have great B2B targeting.

I liked the sales pitch on this product, it was strong and offered a lot of solutions to our current issues. The easy platform layout makes it seem like it could be straightforward when the metadata team adds more features.

There is very little troubleshooting from the team. When campaigns fail, there isn't any explanation or advise to make campaigns successful. I also find the audience tool to be very weak. Using Tradedesk, LinkedIn and Facebook through Metadata provided weaker results than using the native platform.

Metadata easily connects to Salesforce... and, is up and running in a mere minutes.

The ad audiences were not granular enough... and, unspecific.

The automatic optimization of campaigns makes for a seamless pipeline as well as the ability to see and idolate the most effective parts of a campaign.

This is really built for B2B so we just weren't able to utilize everything.
