What is a static ad?

A static ad is a single image: a photo, a designed graphic or a screenshot-style post, with a headline that carries the message without sound or motion.

When to use static ads

Statics are the cheapest way to test a message. Use them to try angles, offers and headlines before paying for a video, and to retarget with one clear proof or offer.

[ The recipe ]

How to make a static ad: 6 steps

  1. Write the headline firstOne idea, readable in a second on a phone. If the image disappeared, the headline should still sell the click.
  2. Choose one focal pointA product shot, a face, a result or a number. Two focal points and the eye picks neither.
  3. Borrow a native shapeNotes app, review screenshot, comparison table, handwritten note, press quote. Images that look like content get read before they are judged as ads.
  4. Add one proofA star rating with the review count, a named review, a statistic with its source. One proof, placed next to the claim it supports.
  5. Keep the safe zones clearIn 9:16 placements the top and bottom of the frame are covered by the interface. Keep text and logos out of them (check with the free safe zone tool).
  6. Test the message, not the colourMake three versions that say different things, not the same thing in three layouts. The winner tells you which angle to film next.

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 static ads are running right now?

WhatScales tracks 14,306 live static ads from 640 brands as of November 12, 2026, including 1,569 launched in the last 7 days. The count covers the DTC brands we follow, not every advertiser.

Which brands run the most static ads?

Among the brands we track: Auniva (102 ads), Patch Please (93 ads), SnoozeBand (81 ads), Canislabs (73 ads) and AirVex (70 ads).

Which niches use static ads the most?

In our catalog, Fashion (3,502 ads), Health (3,042 ads), Sleep (1,260 ads) and Beauty (1,243 ads).

How long do static ads run?

Half of the static ads we track have been live for more than 45 days. The longest-running one is from Blueland and started 1,297 days ago. Brands turn off what loses money, so a long run is the best public sign that an ad works.

How are these static 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.
