What are Meta Ads?
Meta Ads are the paid ads that run across Facebook, Instagram, Messenger and the Audience Network, bought and managed in Meta Ads Manager. Advertisers target by location, age, interests and behaviour, or upload their own customer lists as Custom Audiences. Meta has removed most job and employer targeting, so for B2B the reliable way to reach specific buyers is a Custom Audience built from contact data.
What ContactLevel adds on Meta
Meta matches uploaded lists on personal identifiers, and B2B lists are mostly work emails, so native uploads match around one in five contacts. ContactLevel adds the personal identifiers Meta can match on and syncs the result as a Custom Audience, which also makes a far better seed for lookalikes.

Meta Ads FAQ
How does ContactLevel work with Meta Ads?
Connect your Meta ad account once. Audiences you build in ContactLevel sync to Ads Manager as Custom Audiences and update automatically when you add or remove contacts, so running campaigns pick up the changes without new targeting.
Can I target job titles on Facebook and Instagram?
Meta removed most job title and employer targeting. You can still reach people by role: build an audience of contacts with those titles in ContactLevel and target it as a Custom Audience.
What match rate can I expect on Meta?
ContactLevel audiences match at 70-80% on Meta. Native uploads of B2B work emails typically match around 20%.
What is the minimum audience size on Meta?
Meta needs at least 100 matched people. Audiences take up to 24 hours to populate after the sync, and the same audience works for Facebook and Instagram placements and as a lookalike seed.
