Meta Ads, also called Ad Manager, is the ad creation and management tool of Meta Inc, an American conglomerate of technologies, networks and social media based in Menlo Park, California, founded by Mark Zuckerberg. 

Just to put it in context, Meta Inc, for those who don't know, owns brands like Facebook, Instagram, Messenger and Whatsapp, among others. And Facebook, it goes without saying, is one of the most valuable brands in the world alongside Google, Apple and Amazon.

The Meta Ads tool, in short, allows you to manage paid media on Facebook and Instagram. Therefore, through this tool, you, as an entrepreneur, can display your e-commerce advertising on these social networks and generate paid traffic to your sales pages.

Meta Ads' advertising audience comprises 2,11 billion people, according to the Social Shepherd blog . It is, therefore, a huge market, targeted by more than 3 million advertisers. And you, who are already an advertiser or intend to become one, can't afford to miss out on this.

META ADS: ADVERTISING STATISTICS ON FACEBOOK AND INSTAGRAM

Meta Ads allows you to publish ads on Messenger and the Audience Network , but especially on Facebook and Instagram. It has features to create and manage when and where your advertising will be displayed, and also allows you to easily track the results.

By using Meta Ads to advertise on Instagram, for example, you can gain many advantages. To give you an idea, 44% of Instagram's approximately 1,4 billion users use this social network weekly to interact with shopping tags and Instagram Shopping store features, according to data from the Earthweb blog . Furthermore, 72% of users say they make purchasing decisions based on something they saw on Instagram, according to data from the Retail Touch Points blog.

The same is true for Facebook. According to information from the Hootsuite blog , 50% of consumers want to discover new products through Facebook Stories, a feature integrated into Facebook. Furthermore, 58% say they have visited a brand's website after seeing an ad on Stories.

Facebook, it's important to mention, is the most used social network in marketing. According to the Sprout Social blog , it's part of the daily routine of 93% of professionals in the field. Sprout Social also reports that Facebook accounts for more than 25% of all digital advertising spending, surpassing Amazon (10,3%) and only losing to Google (28,9%). In any case, to advertise on both Facebook and Instagram, you need to know how to use Meta Ads.
