Cons

  • Requires continuous budget allocation to maintain boosted posts’ visibility over time.
  • Limited control over user-generated content used in Spark Ads could result in unpredictable results.
  • Highly competitive platform, especially for popular niches, making it harder to stand out.
  • Can be costly for small businesses or those with limited advertising budgets.
