Your Meta click numbers are about to drop. Here's why that's actually good news.

Meta just changed what counts as a "click" — and if you're running ads on Facebook or Instagram, your reports are going to look very different starting this month. In today's episode, Jacob breaks down exactly what changed, why your numbers will drop even if your ads are performing perfectly, and the 3 things you need to do this week to get ahead of it.

We also cover:

  • Why Meta plans to fully automate ad creation by end of 2026 — and what that means for your creative strategy
  • ChatGPT's first official ad partner (and why this is the Google Ads moment of 2003)
  • The 2026 Edelman Trust Barometer's big finding: reach is dead, alignment is the new metric

Whether you're commuting or at your desk, this episode gives you the clarity and the action plan to turn today's marketing news into a real advantage for your business.
