Uberall’s Social Ads solution empowers corporate and location-level teams to launch paid media campaigns at-scale. The solution can be tailored to your specific paid media objectives whether you are trying to generate awareness for a particular campaign or drive traffic to your locations.
The purpose of this guide is to outline the process for enabling the Social Ads solution in Uberall! The Uberall team will need to gather some initial information from you regarding your paid social strategy to ensure that we are configuring the solution appropriately for your specific needs. Additionally, there are a few required prerequisites before we can configure the social ads solution in Uberall.
Discovery Questions
- Do the locations fund all local campaigns, or are there instances of corporate-funded local campaigns?
- What are the business goals/objectives for local campaigns?
- Do you require approval before campaigns go live?
- Who are the users running campaigns today?
- What's the publishing frequency?
Note: Please provide answers to these questions above to your Implementation Consultant.

Provide william.sholan@uberall.com and laura@local-ads-support.com with Full control rights to your Meta Business Manager account.

Implementation Timeline
Our standard implementation timeline is based on the following client assumptions:

- The client has obtained proper admin access to the Meta page(s) via the Business Manager account (only pages with proper admin permissions in the Business Manager can be used for Ads)

TigerPistol (TP) and Uberall Platform Integration: Key Points
Regarding if Accounts, Groups, and Labels are moved into TigerPistol along with locations for campaign launches.
Syncing Groups/Labels to TP:
Uberall does not automatically sync groups/labels to TP.
Manual syncing is possible if required by the client.
Manual sync incurs 1 SP per 1 TP Account instance.
Multiple SPs result in multiple TP Accounts
Client Capabilities in TP:
Clients can create groups/filters within TigerPistol for segmented campaign publishing.
Prospect with Multiple Brands in Different Countries:
Each country would have a separate Service Point (SP).
TP would be set up with multiple instances corresponding to each SP.
Each SP allows access to individual campaigns and reporting only.
No overall global view in TP for the performance of all SPs.
Example: Little Caesars US and Little Caesars Canada have separate SPs and TP instances.
Super admin can access both SPs in Uberall but must log into each TP instance independently.
