Meta Ads in Iraq: Facebook, Instagram, Messenger and WhatsApp

Best for in Iraq: reach across every age and governorate, catalogue sales and orders that start in a chat.

3.06ROAS on Facebook and Instagram · Jordan

Facebook is still the widest door to Iraqi buyers, across ages and governorates, and Instagram leads with younger buyers in the cities. A large share of orders start as a message, so we run chat campaigns next to website sales, and we judge both by orders that are confirmed and delivered.

Facebook

Feed, video, carousel and catalogue ads for family buyers and every governorate, and the retargeting pools that feed every Meta campaign.

Instagram

Reels, Stories and Explore for younger, urban buyers, with DMs open for questions before the order.

TikTok Ads in Iraq: In-feed, Spark and lead ads

Best for in Iraq: reaching younger Iraqi buyers fast, with videos that look and sound local.

4.89TikTok ROAS · Saudi Arabia

TikTok has become one of the busiest feeds in Iraq, especially under thirty. It rewards videos that look like TikTok, so we make many short variations in Iraqi Arabic, with real people and local humour, and let TikTok find the buyers that Meta then retargets.

In-feed ads

Full-screen video in the For You feed, with many creative variations tested each week.

Spark Ads

Boosting your own posts or a creator’s post, so the ad keeps the likes, comments and profile behind it.

Snapchat Ads in Iraq: Snap Ads, Story and Collection ads

9.98ROAS on Snapchat · Jordan

Snapchat is part of the daily routine for many young Iraqis, and buying from a Snap ad feels natural to them. We send the swipe-up to a fast page with a short order form, so a cash-on-delivery order takes seconds.

Single image & video Snap Ads

Full-screen vertical ads between Stories, sound-on, with the product in the first two seconds.

Google Ads in Iraq: Search, YouTube and Performance Max

Best for in Iraq: buyers who search for a product, a clinic or a service by name, and video reach on YouTube.

PremierGoogle Partner 2026

Search volume in Iraq is smaller than social, but the people who search are ready to act. We give Google the high-intent part of the budget: Arabic and English keywords, call ads for services, and YouTube, which Iraqis watch widely, for reach before the season.

Search

Arabic, English and mixed-spelling keywords, brand and competitor terms, with call ads for clinics and services.

YouTube

In-stream, Shorts and bumper ads for reach before Ramadan and the year-end sales, plus remarketing to visitors.

Every platform · cash on delivery

Cash-on-delivery tracking: optimise for orders that arrive

Best for in Iraq: stores and pages that lose orders to wrong numbers, unanswered calls and refusals at the door.

Most online orders in Iraq are paid in cash at the door. A platform that only sees “order placed” learns to find people who order, not people who pay. We add a confirmation step, send confirmed and delivered orders back to Meta, TikTok and Snapchat, and judge every campaign by cost per delivered order.

Order forms that work in Iraq

Iraqi phone format, a governorate list and a nearest-landmark field, because many addresses are given that way.

Phone formatGovernoratesNearest landmark

Confirmation step

A call or WhatsApp message before dispatch, with a simple script your team follows.

FAQ

Paid ads in Iraq, answered

Anything else? Ask us on WhatsApp.

Which ad platforms do you manage in Iraq?

Meta (Facebook, Instagram, Messenger and WhatsApp), TikTok, Snapchat and Google (Search, YouTube, Performance Max and Demand Gen), plus LinkedIn for B2B when one lead is worth it.

Is Facebook still worth it in Iraq?

For most products, yes: it still reaches Iraqi buyers of every age and governorate. As a reference from Jordan, Arabic carousel ads on Facebook and Instagram returned 3.06 ROAS and 704 purchases for a hardware store (vs 2.5 industry average).

Most of my orders are cash on delivery. How do you measure results?

By cost per delivered order. We add a confirmation step, keep every order in one sheet with its ad and delivery status, and send confirmed and delivered orders back to Meta, TikTok and Snapchat so they learn from buyers who pay.

Can my ads send buyers to Messenger or WhatsApp instead of a website?

Yes. Click-to-Messenger and click-to-WhatsApp ads open a chat with your team, with first replies that ask for the product, governorate and phone number. As a reference from Amman, Instagram chat ads brought a furniture brand 2,748 leads at $2.14 each.

Can you run separate campaigns for the Kurdistan Region?

Yes. Erbil, Sulaymaniyah and Duhok run as their own ad sets, split by language as well as area. We write in Arabic and English. For Kurdish-speaking audiences, the Kurdish copy comes from your team or a native Kurdish writer you approve, and we build the design, targeting and reporting around it.

How much budget do I need for paid ads in Iraq?

There is no fixed minimum. We size it from your margin, delivery cost, average order and the season. As a reference from Jordan, one sneakers store spent $2,030 on Meta and returned $46,708 in sales.

Do you have paid ads results from Iraq?

Not published yet. The results on this page come from Jordan, Saudi Arabia and the wider Middle East, and each is labelled with its market, for example $1,017,468 in Snapchat revenue for a cosmetics brand in KSA over four years.

How fast will I get a plan?

Your first plan arrives within one working day of the call or form: the platform mix, a budget split and the next Iraqi seasons.
