Advertising

What is Meta Ads (Facebook + Instagram)?

Meta's advertising platform — ads shown on Facebook, Instagram, Messenger and WhatsApp.

Detailed definition

Meta Ads is interruption-driven advertising based on demographics and interests (the user sees it while scrolling the feed). Campaign objectives: Awareness, Traffic, Engagement, Leads, App Promotion and Sales. Creative work (static, carousel, Reels video) is critical. Conversions are measured with the Pixel plus the Conversions API (CAPI). Audience types: saved, custom (from an email list) and lookalike (similar users).

Examples

  • A beauty brand reaches a young female audience with an Instagram Reels ad.
