What Makes a Great Facebook Ads Agency in 2025?
Let’s face it—Facebook (or Meta, if we’re being proper) advertising isn’t what it used to be.
What once worked—basic interest targeting, broad lookalikes, and a few carousels—has been replaced by smart automation, machine learning, and brutal competition for attention. If you’re spending money on Facebook ads in 2025, the agency you hire really matters. And yet, not all agencies are built the same.
So how do you tell a performance-driven team from a PowerPoint parade? Here’s what to look for when choosing the right Facebook ads agency this year.
1. They've Got the Track Record—And They're Happy to Show It
Any agency can talk the talk. The question is: can they show the results?
A great agency doesn’t just say “we’re data-driven”—they’ve got the receipts. Case studies. Benchmarks. Real-world results. For example, we helped Team GB generate a 450% ROAS on their campaign. That didn’t happen by luck. It happened through sharp media buying, strong creative, and constant iteration.
So if you're shopping around, ask for examples. Not just industries they've worked in, but actual performance data. If they hesitate? Move on.
2. They Obsess Over Creative (Because Meta Does Too)
Here’s the truth no one wants to hear: most ad fatigue isn’t about budget—it’s about boring creative.
The best Facebook ads agencies know that creative is the real performance lever. It’s what makes someone stop scrolling. It’s what earns the click. It’s what drives the conversion. If your agency isn’t talking about creative testing, hook variation, or thumb-stopping content, they’re not taking Meta seriously.
At The Growth Guys, we built a whole framework around this. Our Creative MRI tool helps identify what’s working, why it’s working, and how to scale it. Great agencies invest in this kind of process. Honestly, it’s the game-changer most brands overlook.
3. They Know the Platform Inside-Out
Media buying in 2025 is a different beast. You’ve got Advantage+ campaigns, signal loss, server-side tracking, and AI-led budget optimisation. The best agencies aren’t guessing—they’re strategising.
They know when to use a broad campaign vs. when to isolate a niche. They understand how to structure a funnel that warms, nurtures, and converts.
ask them this: “How would you structure our campaign for the first 30 days?” If the answer’s vague or cookie-cutter, run.
4. Communication Is Clear, Consistent, and Honest
You don’t want mystery. You want clarity.
Weekly updates. KPI tracking. Brutal honesty about what’s working—and what’s not. The best agencies won’t sugar-coat poor results or drown you in dashboards. They’ll give you a narrative, backed by data, and a clear plan of action.
If you’ve ever worked with an agency that goes quiet when things dip, you’ll know how painful that silence is.
5. They're Evolving Just as Fast as Meta Is
Meta’s always shifting—so your agency has to evolve or be left behind.
The best agencies are constantly testing new placements, experimenting with creative formats, and integrating tools like GA4, server-side APIs, and custom tracking layers. i mean, if they’re still using last year’s playbook, that’s a red flag.
At The Growth Guys, we use tools like RoboNige to make sure our data’s sharp and our strategy sharper.

If you’re hiring a Facebook ads agency in 2025, don’t just go by logos or big promises. Look for:
Proven results
Creative obsession
Strategic media buying
Honest communication
Constant innovation
Because the right agency won’t just manage your ads. They’ll help scale your business properly.
