Stop using Instagram Boost right now. It's just burning your money.
Here's why, Instagram Boost is designed to look easy and effective, but that's exactly how it tricks you into overspending. Sure, it feels good seeing some numbers pop up, but those numbers rarely translate into meaningful results or qualified leads.
On top of that, every time you use Instagram Boost, you're unknowingly paying an extra "Apple Tax." Apple charges Instagram for in-app transactions, and now Instagram transparently passes that fee onto you. Think of it like a convenience fee targeting those who aren't sure what they're doing.
So here's the reality check: if your marketing isn’t backed by clear, trackable metrics like CPM, CTR, cost per lead, cost per qualified lead, and CAC, you're wasting money. Advertising without understanding these numbers is just throwing cash away.
Instagram Boost severely limits your control and insights. If you're serious about marketing and want actual results, move immediately to Ads Manager or Business Manager. These tools let you properly train the algorithm to find your ideal customers, giving you measurable outcomes and more control.
Ads Manager lets you see exactly where your money goes and how it translates into leads and sales. Instagram Boost doesn't.
The bottom line: Ditch Instagram Boost. Get serious, track your numbers, and use Ads Manager or Business Manager. Your wallet and your business will thank you later.
