Facebook Catalog Ads: A Complete Guide for E-commerce and Agencies

In this guide, we’ll walk you through what Facebook Catalog Ads are, how they work, how to set them up, and how to create them faster and more effectively using a feed-based creative tool like Campaign Builder.

Facebook Catalog Ads automatically show the most relevant products from your catalog to people who have expressed interest on your website, app, or elsewhere on the internet. These ads are powered by dynamic templates that pull real-time data from a product feed - including images, prices, availability, and more.Instead of creating one ad per product manually, you can upload your catalog once and let Meta generate thousands of ad variations automatically.

Key Benefits of Facebook Catalog Ads

While Meta’s native tools handle delivery well, they offer very limited options for customizing your ad design. You’re typically stuck with basic layout and styling -  and all your ads end up looking the same.This is where a tool like Campaign Builder can dramatically improve your results.

Campaign Builder allows you to design high-performance HTML5 or image-based catalog ads using custom layouts, animations, and brand styling - all generated from a product feed.Here’s how it works:

Whether you're running large-scale remarketing campaigns or want better-looking prospecting creatives, Campaign Builder gives you full creative control without sacrificing scalability.

If you’re relying on Meta’s default layouts, you’re missing a major opportunity to differentiate your brand and boost your performance.

Campaign Builder gives you the tools to create dynamic, data-driven, design-led catalog ads - fast.
