Metadata.io is an autonomous demand generation platform that automates B2B paid media campaigns across LinkedIn, Facebook, and Google. It uses machine learning to run thousands of targeting and creative experiments simultaneously, optimizing for pipeline and revenue rather than clicks.
Product Overview

It integrates with CRM and MAP platforms to optimize campaigns for actual pipeline outcomes — not vanity metrics — and automatically suppresses existing customers and bad-fit accounts from targeting.
