[ The format ]

What is a listicle ad?

A listicle ad counts reasons: « 5 reasons I switched », « 3 mistakes with… ». The number promises a quick, structured read.

When to use listicle ads

Use it when the product has several distinct benefits and the audience is comparing options.

[ The recipe ]

How to make a listicle ad: 6 steps

  1. Choose a number you can fillThree to five strong points beat seven weak ones.
  2. Put the best reason first and lastPeople remember the opening and the close.
  3. One visual per reasonEach point gets its own shot or panel and a number on screen.
  4. Make each reason a factA feature and what it changes, not an adjective.
  5. Keep a steady rhythmSimilar length per point so the viewer feels progress.
  6. Close on the offerThe last frame carries the price, guarantee and call to action.

This is the short version. In WhatScales, « Reproduce with my AI » hands your AI the full playbook for a format, with the live examples that prove each step (Pro plan).

Questions

Answers come from today's data.

How many listicle ads are running right now?

WhatScales tracks 782 live listicle ads from 258 brands as of November 12, 2026, including 94 launched in the last 7 days. The count covers the DTC brands we follow, not every advertiser.

Which brands run the most listicle ads?

Among the brands we track: Rhona (29 ads), Earth Breeze (19 ads), Nroome (17 ads), Purdy & Figg (16 ads) and NutriPaw (13 ads).

Which niches use listicle ads the most?

In our catalog, Health (207 ads), Pets (101 ads), Beauty (98 ads) and Home (97 ads).

How long do listicle ads run?

Half of the listicle ads we track have been live for more than 48 days. The longest-running one is from SnoozeBand and started 938 days ago. Brands turn off what loses money, so a long run is the best public sign that an ad works.

How are these listicle ads ranked?

Each brand's live ads are listed in Meta's Ad Library by impressions. WhatScales records that order every day, so "#1 of 49" means the ad Meta delivers most among the brand's 49 live ads. The page shows one ad per brand, the best placed first. Meta publishes no spend or revenue, and neither do we.

Can I see every ad, not only six?

Yes. A WhatScales account shows all of them as videos with filters by niche, format, hook and funnel stage, the transcript and creative read of each ad, and alerts when a brand you follow launches something new. It starts with a 7-day free trial.
