Meta is sneakily switching on ad settings that are tanking your results — and unless you know exactly where to look, you’ll never even know it’s happening.
In this episode, James is joined by WHD’s Senior Paid Social Specialist, Thom Riley, to uncover the hidden traps inside Meta Ads Manager. From sneaky auto-enhancements to dangerous copy changes, we break down what to watch for — and what to turn OFF — before your campaigns go live.
If you’ve ever looked at your Meta ads and thought “this isn’t what I set up,” this episode is for you.
🎯 What you’ll learn:
- The auto-settings that are ruining your targeting
- How Meta overrides your ad copy without telling you
- The hidden features adding junk to your ads (like site links and irrelevant CTAs)
- Why some placements kill performance — and how to fix them
- And how to take back control of your Meta Ads account
Don’t waste another cent. Watch the full breakdown now.
