871: What’s Actually Working with Paid Social Ads in 2025


Listen Later

Let’s be real: paid ads have changed a lot over the years, and keeping up with what actually works can feel like trying to hit a moving target. But lucky for me (and for you), I’ve had the same brilliant ads strategist in my corner for years, and she’s here today to break it all down for us!

Kerry Swetmon is a business strategist, a systems nerd, and a master of simplifying the complex world of online advertising. And she’s not just ANY expert in Facebook ads—she’s been MY personal go-to strategist for 8 and a half YEARS, helping me navigate the ever-changing digital landscape and making sure my ads are working for me, not against me. 

The last time Kerry was on Goal Digger was in 2017, so I think it’s safe to say we are over due for an updated look at the ads landscape in 2025!

In this episode, we’re diving into what’s actually working for Facebook ads in 2025—what strategies are performing best, what’s not worth your time or money anymore, and Kerry’s biggest tips for maximizing your ROI and there’s a shocking fact in this episode that I think will blow your mind when it comes to ads. Whether you’re running ads for the first time or looking to fine-tune your approach, this episode is packed with gold.
