Frequently Asked Questions

What is WasteNot?

WasteNot is an easy-to-use ad optimization tool designed to help advertisers easily activate dynamic exclusion audiences for Meta and Google ad campaigns, optimizing ad spend and improving campaign performance by eliminating wasted ad spend across all campaigns.

What are dynamic ad exclusions and why are they important?

Dynamic ad exclusions are lists of users or targeting params such as locations, placements and search queries that are automatically excluded from certain ads based on criteria like previous interactions and ad performance. This minimizes wasted ad spend and targets relevant audiences, improving ROI and overall growth.

Why do I need to use ad exclusions such as audience suppression?

You know when

  • you buy something online, and you see about 100 ads for that same thing for the next month or so? 

  • Or when you see an ad for a restaurant or service or store that doesn't exist within 500 miles of you? 

  • Or when you search for "Cheap Sunglasses" in google, and you get hit with ads for Gucci or Brunello or some other very NOT CHEAP sunglasses?

These are three of the dozens of scenarios that every advertiser would want to avoid spending budget on. There are some solutions that help advertisers avoid these scenarios some of the time. But it's been very difficult, if not impossible, to avoid wasting ad budget on these scenarios 100% of the time. This is why studies estimate that 25%-40% of ad budgets are wasted due to ineffective ad exclusion tactics.

WasteNot is purpose built to address the gaps with traditional ad exclusion methods and prevent these types of wasted ad buys. This ensures ad budget is reallocated towards more effective ad buys that increase ROAS, lower CAC and accelerate overall growth.

How is this different than other exclusion methods?

Existing exclusion methods don't work most of the time (to put it kindly).

  • Conversion tags exclude less than 20% of the users they're supposed to.

  • Exclusion audiences built from CRM lists synced to your ad accounts are only 45%-55% of the size they should be (check for yourself).

  • "Dynamic" audiences synced from your storefront are only updated weekly, monthly or less (again, check for yourself). 75% of spend on existing customers goes towards your most recent purchasers.

  • The ad platforms have put more restrictions on where targeting and audience exclusions can be applied. There are workaround, but to activate exclusions for all campaign types across all ad platforms manually would be unreasonably complicated and time consuming, if not impossible.

These are just some of the reasons exclusions have become so ineffective. We built WasteNot to be simplest, most marketer-friendly tool possible that abstracts away all these issues, limitations and workarounds so exclusions ACTUALLY work as intended across all ad platforms and campaign types.

How is pricing determined?

Pricing is determined as a small percentage of the amount you're spending on the ad platforms where WasteNot is activated.

Because we typically see a 25% - 30% improvement in marketing efficiency ratio and new customer acquisition costs, we designed pricing so that WasteNot is always delivering AT LEAST a 5:1 ROI, which we can objectively verify during a free 30 day pilot.

Which ad platforms are supported?

We support Meta Ads and Google Ads.

All other paid social platforms will be ready in Q4 2025.

We plan to expand to open-web, CTV and retail media later this year.
