Facebook Ads refers specifically to advertising delivered on Facebook, within Meta's advertising ecosystem. Ads are created and managed in the ads manager, the same one used for Instagram and Messenger, with precise targeting by interests, behaviors and custom audiences.

What is Facebook Ads used for?

Facebook Ads is used to reach the network's huge audience for awareness, traffic, lead generation or sales. Formats range from a simple image to video, carousel and collections, with conversion tracking via the Meta pixel. It is a central lever for brands present on Facebook.

Facebook Ads within the Meta ecosystem

In practice, Facebook Ads is part of the broader Meta Ads set, which also covers Instagram and Messenger from the same manager. Targeting only Facebook or all placements is a configuration choice within a single campaign.

How much does Facebook Ads cost?

There is no subscription: you pay to run ads on auction, per click, impression or action. The advertiser sets a daily or lifetime budget, with no imposed minimum. Cost depends on sector, targeting and competition.
