How to Choose an Agency Account by Vertical

Choosing an agency account isn't a one-size-fits-all decision. Facebook and TikTok win on reach and engagement, DV360 and The Trade Desk win on scale and precision targeting, and native networks win on trust and lower CPCs. Here's how to match a traffic source to your vertical before you spend a dollar.

Facebook, Google Ads, and TikTok: the fast-start platforms

If you're testing a new vertical or launching for the first time, start with one of the big three: Facebook agency accounts are the most universal source for iGaming, betting, and sweepstakes; Google Ads agency accounts capture high-intent search traffic and do well on finance offers; TikTok agency accounts scale fast and convert particularly well for nutra and sweepstakes via UGC formats.

Programmatic and enterprise buying: DV360, The Trade Desk, Moloco

Once a connection is proven, DV360 and The Trade Desk give you access to dozens of exchanges through a single buying interface — this is about scale and targeting precision, not a low entry price. Moloco uses ML bidding on post-install events, a strong fit for mobile nutra and fintech apps.

Native advertising: Taboola, Outbrain, MediaGo, Criteo

Native networks disguise ads as editorial content, which usually means friendlier review and cheaper traffic. Taboola and Outbrain are the two largest native networks and do particularly well on finance and nutra offers. MediaGo covers Asian traffic, while Criteo's dynamic retargeting is strong for e-commerce upsells and finance follow-up.

Pre-launch checklist

• Define your primary vertical and its review requirements
• Pick one or two traffic sources instead of spreading thin from day one
• Confirm spend limits and replacement terms before funding the account
• Have your white page and antidetect profile ready before access is granted
• Lock in the rental commission and terms with your account manager up front

Not sure which platform fits? Tell your LuxAccs account manager your vertical and budget — we'll match you to the right source instead of selling you everything at once.

The takeaway

There's no universal answer to "which agency account should I get" — it depends on your vertical, budget, and whether you're testing or scaling. Match the platform to the job, not the other way around.
