Why Engagement Matters on Facebook Ads
Engagement—likes, comments, shares, and clicks—is more than a vanity metric. It signals to Facebook’s algorithm that your ad is relevant and worth showing to more users. The more interaction, the lower your cost per result.
One of the simplest ways to increase engagement?
Ask open-ended questions in your ad copy.
What Are Open-Ended Questions?
Unlike yes/no questions, open-ended questions encourage people to respond with their thoughts, feelings, or experiences. They begin with words like:
- “What…”
- “How…”
- “Why…”
- “Tell us about…”
- “Describe…”
These invite deeper interaction and longer comments—exactly what Facebook favors.
Why They Work in Ads
Here’s why open-ended questions help boost ad performance:
Spark conversation (more comments = better algorithm ranking)
Help your brand learn more about audience preferences
Encourage emotional connection and storytelling
Make your ad feel less like a pitch and more like a dialogue
Tips for Using Open-Ended Questions in Facebook Ads
1. Place the Question at the Beginning
Start your ad copy with the question to immediately grab attention.
2. Keep It Short and Specific
Vague or complex questions get skipped. Use everyday language and focus on a single idea.
3. Match Tone to Audience
Use fun, lighthearted questions for B2C audiences; go deeper and thoughtful for B2B or service-based ads.
4. Use a Visual That Matches the Question
Pair the question with an image or video that reinforces the theme (e.g., a person thinking, smiling, working, etc.)
5. Engage Back in Comments
When people reply—respond to them! Facebook rewards brands that keep conversations going.
Bonus Tip: Combine With Polls or Story Ads
On Facebook Stories or Messenger Ads, turn open-ended questions into:
Polls
Emoji sliders
“Ask me anything” story boxes
Pro tip: Use tools like ads check speed or Facebook Ads Manager’s split testing feature to see how different question formats perform.

Final Thoughts
Using open-ended questions in your Facebook Ads turns passive scrollers into active participants. It helps you build a brand that listens, learns, and connects. And most importantly, it drives real engagement—the kind that leads to lasting loyalty and conversions.
