Advantage+ automates
Meta. Lapis runs the
whole system.

Meta Advantage+ automates delivery inside Meta. Lapis is the advertiser layer around every channel: it creates the ads and landing pages, runs structured experiments, and keeps you in control of the strategy Advantage+ can't see.

Lapis

Intelligence across every channel

Lapis creates the on-brand ads and matched pages Advantage+ runs on, then keeps one learning loop across Meta, Google, and more, with you in control of brand, budget, and approvals.

  • Creates the creative and pages the algorithm needs
  • One learning loop across every channel
  • You keep control of brand, budget, and approvals

Meta Advantage+

Automation inside one platform

Advantage+ optimizes bidding and placement within Meta using its first-party signal, but you hand creative and budget to a black box, and there are no landing pages and no view beyond Meta.

  • Optimizes bidding and placement within Meta
  • Creative and budget go into a black box
  • No landing pages and no cross-channel view

Tag and learn at the idea level

Every ad is labeled across dimensions like angle, audience, and proof, so your learning is transparent and portable instead of locked inside one platform.

Why teams run Lapis around platform automation

Feed the algorithm better inputs.

Advantage+ optimizes whatever creative it is given. Lapis makes the on-brand creative and matched pages that give the algorithm something better to work with.

02

See across channels, not just Meta.

Platform automation optimizes one auction. Lapis keeps one view and one learning loop across Meta, Google, and more.

03

Keep the learning you own.

Black-box automation keeps its reasoning inside the platform. Lapis records transparent, portable learning your team controls.
