META VS GOOGLE: NOT A COMPETITION — A SEQUENCE
The question is not Meta or Google — it is which first, when to add the second, and how to allocate budget across both. For most D2C brands, Meta comes first: it reaches people who do not yet know they need your product. Google comes second: it captures people who are already searching. The combination of Meta-driven brand awareness and Google-captured intent is the standard D2C growth stack.
