WhatsApp ads on Facebook or Instagram are unique—they don't direct users to a website but lead them straight to a WhatsApp conversation with your business. Instead of navigating through contact details or forms, potential customers can click on the ad and instantly chat with you about products or services.

You can run Facebook/Instagram ads targeting customers in your area that directly prompt action, like "Text us on WhatsApp" in relation to your ad.

Speak to your Marketing agency about setting this up. Or if you are running ads yourself or are interested in learning how to do this, read this article.

Getting in front of customers on their preferred channels is key. Consistently promote your WhatsApp contact details to smoothly onboard new customers into text conversations.
