Facebook Messenger ads were released globally in 2017. Since then, we’ve learned a lot about their effectiveness, and one thing is for sure: Facebook Messenger ads significantly outperform your average Facebook ads.
And this is especially true when compared to legacy Facebook ad examples, such as Engagement Ads and Traffic Ads.
When you compare the ROI of Facebook ads and their objectives to Facebook Messenger ads, it’s really no contest:
- Engagement Ads: Views or likes of posts have questionable ROI.
- Traffic Ads: Expensive clicks lead to visitors who convert at around 2%
- Lead Ads: Captures user information but no way to immediately engage with them.
