60 tradespeople have 13,787 ads in the Meta Ad Library between them, and 9,217 of those were running when we read it on November 15, 2026. Below is a page of creative from each, what formats carry the category, and how long the ads that work stay up.
Trades ads are built by owner-operators, so the electricians, plumbers and contractors that stand out put their own face and truck in the ad, show a finished job, and recruit and sell in the same feed.
Which tradespeople run the most ads?
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.
Meta Ad Library, read November 15, 2026. Library and active counts are Meta’s own. 60 of these tradespeople have enough creative on file for a page of their own.
What formats do trades ads use?
video leads at 43 percent of the 456 creatives read here, with static at 36 percent and carousel at 21. Learn more carries 34 percent of the calls to action.
The median creative here ran 10 days and the longest was still up at 255. Run length is the closest thing to a public performance signal these libraries publish, because nobody keeps paying to deliver an ad that is not working. How that compares with every other industry is in the Meta ad creative benchmarks.
The longest-running ad from each advertiser, in its own words. These are the ads someone kept paying for.

How to run trades ads on Facebook and Instagram
1
Sell one job with one clear offer
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. 20 percent of the trades ads here lead with a price in the ad.
2
Show the finished work in the first second
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 video ads lead.
3
Target the area you actually serve
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.
4
Make booking one tap
"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.
5
Keep the winners running and replace the rest
The median trades ad here stayed up 10 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.
