Cómo elegir la plataforma adecuada
Define goals
Clarify whether you optimize for awareness, leads, purchases, or LTV—each platform weights channels and algorithms differently.
Align budget and fees
Model platform fees, minimums, and creative production so net ROAS stays healthy after tech costs.
Map your audience
Choose inventory and data partners that actually reach your customers (retail media vs open web vs social extensions).
Demand inventory quality & brand safety
Review inclusion lists, fraud controls, and reporting transparency before you scale spend.
Match operating model
Self-serve, hybrid, or managed service should fit your team size—don’t buy software your org can’t run.
