This is a heads up to anyone that works at the following dealerships or the agency that manages their ads. This should also serve as a reminder to those that manage Facebook ad campaigns to check all of your location settings for your current ad campaigns to ensure that you are only advertising in your local area.
Since last week, I noticed a huge influx in the amount of out of state dealership ads that I have been served in my Instagram Stories. Almost every other ad is for a dealership and it has increased so steadily that I started to screenshot every ad. And before anyone asks, I have not traveled outside of Michigan for months nor have I visited any of those websites, so I am not included in a retargeting campaign.
The video below shows ads have all been served to me since Sunday. Here is the full list of dealerships:
Caskinette Ford, Lawrence Mitsubishi, Lithia Nissan of Ames, Mike Hale Acura, Future Nissan Folsom, Flow Acura, Elder Ford Tampa, Vann York Toyota, Echelon Ford, Palm Springs Hyundai, Airport Motors, Ackerman Toyota.
