Should You Still Use ManyChat for Ads in 2026? My Honest Take.

I get this question a lot, especially with all the changes coming into 2026: should you still be running ads to ManyChat, or is it time to move on?   ‍‍ ‍‍Watch/Listen to this episode: How to lower Facebook Ad Lead Costs for your Lead Magnet Ads  ‍‍ ‍‍I share when ads to a ManyChat-connected Instagram Reel still make sense, and when you’re better off sending traffic to a website opt-in or an instant form instead. I also talk through how tracking, testing, and having the right follow-up in place matter way more than the tool itself. The big takeaway is simple: use what’s already working organically, then test your options so you’re not guessing with your ad spend.‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍‍‍Watch this episode on YouTube!‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍Please click here to give an honest Rating/Review for the show on iTunes!
