533 ads from 10 college counselors in the Meta Ad Library, 525 running now.
10 college counselors have 533 ads in the Meta Ad Library between them, and 525 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.
College counseling trades on admissions anxiety, so the ads that pull open with a stinging reversal, great grades and still rejected, then promise insider knowledge of what actually gets read, and close on an info session rather than a hard sell.
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.

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. 4 percent of the college counseling ads here lead with something free to start.
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 college counseling ad here stayed up 34 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 50 creatives. Meta lists 533 for these advertisers, and 525 are running right now. Sprites' proprietary marketing agent reads every college counseling ad running now, writes ads for your business in the styles that work, and launches them on Facebook, Instagram and Google once you approve.
