That blue "Boost Post" button is costing you money.
It's designed to be easy, and easy is exactly the problem. Boosting gives you almost no control over who sees it, optimizes for engagement instead of leads, and quietly bills you for likes from people three provinces away who will never hire you.
The same money in Ads Manager lets you target a 40km radius, pick homeowners, exclude renters, and optimize for phone calls instead of thumbs.
Same budget. Wildly different outcome. The button is convenient for Meta, not for you.
Anyone else been burned by boosting? π
