Why Platform Monitoring Matters
Digital advertising spend exceeded $600 billion globally in 2025, yet most advertisers lack visibility into platform health. When an outage occurs, the typical advertiser discovers it through:
Without Monitoring
- Confused client calls (2-4 hours after issue)
- Mysterious performance drops
- Manual status page checking
- Twitter/Reddit crowd-sourcing
With Monitoring
- Instant alerts (within 5 minutes)
- Proactive client communication
- Documented incident history
- Resolution notifications

View StatusMonitoring Best Practices
1. Centralize Your Monitoring
Don't check 5 different status pages. Use unified monitoring to get all platform alerts in one channel.
2. Set Up Response Protocols
Define who gets notified and what actions to take for each platform. Different platforms may need different responses.
- Meta outage: Consider pausing budgets to preserve spend
- Google outage: Shift budget to Microsoft if possible
- Any outage: Send proactive client communication
3. Track Resolution Updates
Don't just know when issues start - get notified when they're resolved so you can resume normal operations and inform clients.
