Click-to-WhatsApp ads
Click-to-WhatsApp ads are Meta ads whose call to action opens a WhatsApp conversation with the advertiser instead of sending the person to a website.
They convert well because there is no form and no landing page, and because the reply starts a relationship. Each click carries an identifier that lets the resulting conversation be attributed to the campaign, and conversions can be reported back to Meta so the campaign optimises on outcomes. The same mechanism exists for Instagram and Messenger.
Worth knowing alongside it.
- Attribution
- Attribution is the practice of connecting an outcome, such as a sale, back to the campaign, ad, or link that produced it.
- Custom audience
- A custom audience is a group of your own contacts uploaded to an advertising platform so you can target them, or people like them, with ads.
- Conversions API
- A conversions API is a server-to-server route for reporting outcomes such as leads and purchases back to an advertising platform, instead of relying on a browser pixel.
