• Apple Ads audience settings — customer types, demographics, location and ad schedulingWhat Apple Ads audience options actually do — "new users" vs the ambiguous "returning users", why age/gender targeting reaches only users with personalised ads on (Thomas Petit estimated ~5% effective reach in 2023), when location targeting and ad scheduling to fill organic-rank dips make sense, and where practitioners disagree.
• Broad targeting vs interests, lookalikes and retargeting on Meta (2023 → 2026)How targeting advice flipped from Smart Marketer's 2023 70/15/15 interest/lookalike/broad split to 2025–2026 broad-by-default — and the remaining cases for interests (forcing a new avatar, lead gen), geo-only (local), customer exclusions, and Advantage+ as audience research.
• Meta value rules — bid more for people worth more (instead of restricting targeting)How to use Meta's value rules (Advertising settings → value rules → rule set; bid +X% by age, gender, location, placement, device…) to feed information Meta can't see — repeat-purchase rate, lead-to-customer conversion, LTV — instead of hard age/gender/placement exclusions, and the common mistake of copying data Meta already has.
