## Definition
Meta Ads is the advertising system covering Facebook, Instagram, Messenger and the Audience Network. Since the Advantage+ suite absorbed targeting, placement and budget decisions, the advertiser-controlled inputs have narrowed to offer, landing page and creative.

## Why it matters
Most ecommerce brands still spend the majority of paid budget on Meta, and creative volume is the strongest remaining performance lever there.
