6,531 ads from 11 background screening companies in the Meta Ad Library, 1,369 running now.
11 background screening companies have 6,531 ads in the Meta Ad Library between them, and 1,369 of those were running when we read it on October 23, 2026. Below is a page of creative from each, what formats carry the category, and how long the ads that work stay up.
Background check ads split between employers who need reports for hiring and consumers hunting one person, so the working ones promise speed and a single search, and borrow credibility from news-style headlines about fraud.
The library count is everything a brand has published on Meta. The active count is what was delivering at the read. The ratio between them is the account’s posture: a large library with a small active share is a brand cycling hard, and one where nearly everything is live is running a small curated set.

Hooks, landing pages and run length for each
Every creative, with its copy, format and run length
People do not book a service, they book a job: one room, one driveway, one visit. The ads that fill a calendar name that job and put an offer beside it, a price, a free quote, or a slot this week. 11 percent of the background check ads here lead with a price in the ad.
The result is the creative. A before-and-after, the finished job, or a short clip of the work being done stops the scroll faster than a logo or a team photo. In this category single-image ads lead.
Set a radius around the towns you work in and let Meta find the homeowners inside it. Name the town in the copy: a local name in the first line tells the reader this ad is for them.
"Learn more" is the most used button on these ads. Use a call button, an instant form or a booking link, and answer every lead within minutes. The shop that calls back first gets the job.
The median background check ad here stayed up 3 days. Give a new ad a week of spend before you judge it, then retire what is not getting results and write the next version of what is. The advertisers with the most live ads are the ones testing the most.
This page shows 53 creatives. Meta lists 6,531 for these advertisers, and 1,369 are running right now.
