Back in October 2021 the parent company of Facebook changed its name from Facebook, Inc., to Meta Platforms.
With 2.93 billion people using at least one of Meta’s apps daily (Facebook, Whatsapp, Instagram), Meta continues to dominate the social media atmosphere. Facebook continues to rank #1 social media platform in the world, with Whatsapp and Instagram at #2 and #3.
With that potential reach, it’s important you’re taking full advantage. The quickest way to do that is to find an agency that can help you create effective campaigns and get great leads.
But with the vast variety of agencies out there, it can be overwhelming trying to find the best agency for you.
We’ve created a list of the best Meta Agencies in the UK for 2022, so you don’t have to get lost in the void. Let’s go!
What Makes a Great Meta Agency?
Firstly, let’s talk about what makes a great Meta Agency and what to look out for.
What makes a great agency is the same regardless of channel, but here are some things we find work best across Meta’s platforms.
In the past, we’ve created other lists that tell you exactly what to look for in an agency including:

Experience & Proof of Results
Firstly, you want to make sure they have the experience to back up their claims.
Do some research into the agency, see who they’ve worked with in the past and their relevance to your industry. Do they have proven results on Facebook and Instagram? What does their process look like on Meta’s platforms?
Take a look at their case studies and examples. This way you can see the results they’ve achieved and get an insight into their strategy!
Expertise
You want to ensure the agency has a deep understanding of all things Meta.
They need to be an expert on Meta’s platforms (i.e Facebook and Instagram) and know the best practices to get the results you want.
Who have they worked with? See if their clients match your aesthetic and brand. This will help you decide whether or not they’re right for you.
We wrote an article on questions you should ask an ad agency before working with them. Check that out for more things to look for!
Clear communication
It’s important when hiring any agency that you know whether or not the money you’re investing is resulting in a positive return on investment. Your agency should be able to clearly communicate this to you.
They should also keep you in the loop about what they’re doing, what’s working and what’s not.
Set your goals and be clear with your Meta agency on what you expect from them. Make sure they are communicating frequently and being transparent with you.
Like with any other agency, it’s vital you know whether or not the money you’re investing is resulting in a positive return on investment. Your agency should be able to clearly communicate this to you.
Your Meta advertising agency should feel like an extension of your team. They should communicate regularly about what they’re doing, what’s working and what isn’t.
Data Tracking and Reporting
Data is arguably the most important part of advertising.
The best agencies know how to read, analyse and adjust campaigns to drive the best result. They also know how to turn that data into something that you can easily read and understand.
Be aware of agencies that will use data to confuse you. It’s important that you own the data. When working with an agency, make sure that you own the ad account they’re running ads from. This stops them from holding your data hostage if you ever decide to end the partnership.
With all this is mind, let’s jump into our list!
Best Meta Agencies in the UK (2022)
Despite Facebook officially changing its name to Meta, most agencies and businesses still refer to “Meta” as “Facebook”, so when looking for agencies online, not all of them will refer to themselves as “Meta agencies”.
When an agency refers to themselves as a “Facebook advertising agency”, or offers “Facebook advertising services”, it’s generally accepted that they provide Instagram advertising as part of that – as to run ads on Instagram is as simple as ticking a box in the Facebook ads manager.
Whether the name “Meta” will replace “Facebook” in everyday language, only time will tell…
