A before-and-after ad shows the same situation twice: without the product and with it. The contrast is the argument.
When to use before-and-after ads
It fits products with a visible change that is not about a body or a health condition: cleaning, home, organisation, fabrics, tools. Meta restricts before-and-after images that promise personal health or appearance results, so many categories must show the change another way.
How to make a before-and-after ad: 6 steps
Check the policy for your category. Health, weight, skin and hair results shown side by side are often rejected or get accounts restricted. For those, show the routine over time instead of a split image.
Use the same frame twice. Same angle, light and distance. Any change other than the product makes the proof weaker.
Show the after first. Open on the result, then go back to how it started. The result is the hook.
Film the middle. The transformation in one take (the stain lifting, the drawer being sorted) is more convincing than two photos.
Put a time on it. « 30 seconds », « one wash », « week 4 »: a number the viewer can check against their own experience.
Stay honest. No retouching, no different product behind the scenes. Typical results, said plainly.

How long do before-and-after ads run?
Half of the before-and-after ads we track have been live for more than 50 days. The longest-running one is from Tubby Todd and started 870 days ago. Brands turn off what loses money, so a long run is the best public sign that an ad works.
How are these before-and-after ads ranked?
Each brand's live ads are listed in Meta's Ad Library by impressions. Ad Feed records that order every day, so "#1 of 49" means the ad Meta delivers most among the brand's 49 live ads. The page shows one ad per brand, the best placed first. Meta publishes no spend or revenue, and neither do we.
Can I see every ad, not only six?
Yes. An Ad Feed account shows all of them as videos with filters by niche, format, hook and funnel stage, the transcript and creative read of each ad, and alerts when a brand you follow launches something new. It starts with a 7-day free trial.
