# Reclaim your workday from the busywork.

Metadata automates optimization, budget pacing, and audience building across every channel — so you spend your time on the work that matters and watch your results improve.

## Let the platform do the manual work.

Plug in your stack, pick a KPI, and Metadata prioritizes the ads, channels, and audiences hitting your goal — like a data scientist working on your campaigns while you sleep.

### Optimization

Plug in your tech stack, select the KPI you want to optimize to, and watch our optimizer do the work. MQLs, SQLs, meetings booked, opportunities — we can do it all. No matter what KPI you choose, we automatically, in real time, prioritize the ads, channels, and audiences helping you reach your goals. It’s like having a data scientist working on your campaigns while you sleep.

### Budget Pacing

No more spreadsheets. Group your campaigns in budget groups and we make sure you spend exactly the right amount over whatever time period you choose. Our optimizer and pacing algorithm work together, so you never spend too much or too little.

### Dynamic Audiences

Flag a target account in your CRM and your audience updates within 24 hours on the channels of your choice — no manual work required. Did sales and marketing just become best friends?

### Multi-Channel Automation

Build one audience and see it in all your channels. Build one ad in LinkedIn, click duplicate, and see it in Facebook. There’s a better process, and we built it.

### Pipeline Reporting

Connect your channels, connect your CRM, and watch your reporting come to life. Instantly see which ad, audience, and more are driving MQLs, SQLs, meetings, and opportunities. Have a unique attribution setup? No problem — we can customize.

## One system, every channel.

Connect LinkedIn, Facebook, Google, and your CRM, and let Metadata optimize, pace, and report across all of them from one place.

## Manual work vs. Metadata.

## Take back your time.

There are things tech can’t replace. Spend your time on those and let Metadata handle the rest.
