Extend your ads to 1.3 billion1 people
People frequently interact with businesses on Messenger—over 2 billion messages are exchanged between people and businesses every month.2 Messenger ads are a new way to connect with current and future customers in this space, using powerful targeting from Facebook.
How does advertising on Messenger work?
The easiest way to take advantage of Messenger's global reach is to run ads in the home screen of the Messenger app. Adding Messenger as a placement to your campaigns can help you achieve results across Facebook’s apps and services.
Messenger ads work just like ads across other Facebook platforms—we'll automatically deliver ads to the placement that's most likely to drive campaign results at the lowest possible cost. The best part? You can use the same creative for Messenger that you're already using for Facebook and Instagram.
People will see Messenger ads in the home screen of their Messenger mobile app. When they tap on an ad, they'll be sent to the destination you chose during ads creation—whether that's your site, app, or a conversation with your business on Messenger.
