General Motors (GM -0.37%) is advertising once again on Facebook (META -0.29%) after an 11-month hiatus that raised questions about the value of social media advertising.

Fast-forward to today, and Facebook has better tools in place to prove its worth as a valuable medium for marketers. In this video, Motley Fool contributor Steve Heller weighs in on the development and what it means for Facebook investors.
