Meta Ads: Managed Advertising
Grow your streams with fully managed Facebook & Instagram ad campaigns.
What is Meta Ads?
Meta Ads is SpaceLoud's managed advertising service that runs targeted Facebook and Instagram campaigns to drive real streams to your music. Unlike influencer campaigns where you work directly with creators, Meta Ads is a fully hands-off service—we handle everything from setup to optimization.
Our team has managed ad campaigns for major labels and top music companies, including Spotify. Now we're bringing that same expertise to help independent artists maximize every dollar.
Why Choose Meta Ads?
Thousands of Real Streams
Our targeted ads drive real listeners to your music on Spotify, Apple Music, and other streaming platforms. No bots, ever—just genuine fans discovering your music.
Completely Hands-Off
From campaign setup to daily optimization, our team handles everything. You focus on making music while we focus on getting it heard.
You don't need your own Facebook or Instagram ad account. We run your ads through our managed accounts, so there's no ad account setup, no creative assets to build, and no targeting to configure. Just submit your music and we take care of the rest.
Expert-Level Campaigns
We use the same strategies and techniques that drive results for major labels:
- Smart Audience Targeting - We find listeners who love your genre using Meta's advanced targeting and lookalike audiences
- Continuous Optimization - We monitor performance daily and adjust targeting to maximize streams and minimize cost per click
- Global Reach - Your ads run on Facebook and Instagram, reaching listeners worldwide
How It Works
Step 1: Submit Your Music
From the Artist Dashboard, click "Create Promotion" and select Meta Ads (on mobile, tap the "+" button at the center of the bottom menu).
Paste your music link (Spotify, Apple Music, SoundCloud, etc.) and we'll automatically extract your song details and cover art. This is the song we'll be promoting in your ads.
Step 2: Choose Your Budget
Set your daily ad spend:
| Daily Budget | 30-Day Total | Estimated Reach |
|---|---|---|
| $5/day | $150 | ~225,000 people |
| $10/day | $300 | ~450,000 people |
| $25/day | $750 | ~1,125,000 people |
| $50/day | $1,500 | ~2,250,000 people |
Minimum daily budget: $5/day Campaign duration: 30 days (optimal for music promotion)
We recommend starting with at least $5/day for meaningful results. Higher budgets allow for more aggressive testing and faster optimization.
Step 3: Launch & Let Us Work
Once you launch, our team gets to work:
- We create optimized ad creative using your song and artwork
- We configure targeting based on your genre and similar artists
- Your campaign goes live on Facebook and Instagram
- We monitor and optimize daily for maximum streams per dollar
You'll receive updates on your campaign's progress, and your streams will start growing within days.
Pricing
Meta Ads has simple, transparent pricing:
| Component | Cost |
|---|---|
| Ad Spend | Your chosen budget ($150-$3,000 for 30 days) |

Example: A $10/day campaign costs $300 (ad spend) + $100 (management) = $400 total

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need my own Facebook or Instagram ad account?
No! You don't need your own Meta Business account, Facebook ad account, or any advertising setup. We handle everything through our managed ad accounts. Just submit your music link and budget—we take care of all the technical setup, ad creation, and optimization.
How is this different from influencer campaigns?
With influencer campaigns, you work directly with content creators who post about your music. With Meta Ads, we run paid advertisements on Facebook and Instagram—no creator involvement. Both strategies work great together for maximum reach.
Can I run Meta Ads alongside influencer campaigns?
Absolutely! Many artists run both simultaneously. Influencer campaigns generate authentic content and social proof, while Meta Ads drive additional streams through paid advertising.
How soon will I see results?
Most campaigns start generating streams within 2-3 days of going live. Results compound over the 30-day campaign as we optimize targeting.
Can I pause or cancel my campaign?
Contact support if you need to make changes to your campaign. Note that the management fee is non-refundable once campaign setup begins.
What streaming platforms are supported?
We can drive traffic to Spotify, Apple Music, SoundCloud, YouTube Music, Amazon Music, Deezer, and other major streaming platforms.
