At a glance
AlGurus is a WhatsApp Ads agency in Amman, Jordan, and a Meta Business Partner. We run click-to-WhatsApp campaigns on Facebook and Instagram, set up the WhatsApp Business app or Business Platform (API), write Arabic and English greetings, quick replies and order or booking flows, and track every campaign from conversation started to order placed.
What WhatsApp Ads are
Ads that open a chat, not a form.
A WhatsApp ad is a Facebook or Instagram ad whose button opens WhatsApp instead of a website. The person taps “Send WhatsApp message”, a chat with your business opens with a message already typed, and they hit send. Meta is also bringing ads into the Updates tab of WhatsApp, and we use those placements where they are available in your market.
In Jordan, this matters. Many customers prefer to ask before they buy: is it in stock, what is the delivery time to Zarqa, can I pay cash on delivery, is there parking at the clinic. A form cannot answer those questions. A chat can, and it keeps going after the sale with order updates and repeat offers.
We build the whole channel, not just the ad:
- Ads with clear calls to action such as “Message us on WhatsApp” or “اطلب الآن عبر واتساب” (Order now via WhatsApp).
- Targeting by location (Amman, Irbid, Zarqa, Aqaba and beyond), interests, behaviours and past engagement.
- Image, video and carousel creatives made to start a conversation, not to send traffic.
- Greetings, quick replies and flows that answer instantly, day or night.
- Tracking that ties each chat back to the ad, audience and creative that started it.
From tap to order
Every step of the chat is a number we improve.
Most WhatsApp campaigns are judged on one number: cost per message. That is only the first step. We track the whole journey, because a cheap chat that never replies is the most expensive one.

Conversation design
Three chat flows we build most.
The ad gets the chat started. The flow decides whether it ends in an order. Pick a flow to see how we structure it.
Order: Ecommerce and cash-on-delivery orders
The fastest path from ad to order for stores in Jordan. The greeting confirms the product from the ad, the catalogue shows sizes or variants, and the order is confirmed with address and payment method before a human ever needs to step in.
When the customer asks something the bot cannot answer, the chat is handed to your team with a label, so the context is never lost.
GreetingThanks for messaging us about the product in the ad. How can we help?
MenuOrder now · Sizes and prices · Talk to us
CatalogueProduct card with variants, price and delivery area
ConfirmName, area, delivery time, cash on delivery or online payment
HandoffAgent confirms and the order is tagged “From ad”
Book: Clinics, salons, real estate and showrooms
For businesses that sell an appointment. The flow asks the two or three questions your team always asks, offers available times, and sends a confirmation and a reminder the day before.
Fewer no-shows and less back-and-forth, while every booking stays traceable to the ad and the audience that produced it.
GreetingWelcome! Would you like to book a visit?

SlotsThree available times, or “call me”
ConfirmBooking summary and location pin
ReminderTemplate message the day before, opt-out included
Ask: High-consideration purchases and services
Some buyers need answers before they act: price ranges, warranty, availability, financing. The flow answers the top questions instantly and passes serious buyers to a specialist.
We write the answers from your real chat history, so the automation sounds like your team, in Arabic or English.

Who it works for
WhatsApp Ads by industry in Jordan.
The same channel, very different conversations. These are the businesses where a chat usually beats a landing page.
Online stores
Fashion, perfume, watches, electronics and home goods, especially with cash on delivery. The chat answers size and delivery questions and confirms the order.
CTA: اطلب عبر واتساب (Order via WhatsApp)
Clinics and beauty
Dental, dermatology, physiotherapy, salons. Patients ask about price ranges and availability, then book a slot in the same chat.
CTA: احجز موعدك الآن (Book your appointment now)
Real estate
Buyers request floor plans, prices and a viewing. Agents receive qualified chats with the project and budget already labelled.
CTA: Ask for the floor plan
Restaurants and catering
Orders for events, catering and large deliveries that need a conversation, plus reservations for busy weekends and Ramadan.
CTA: تواصل معنا مباشرة (Contact us directly)
Education and training
Parents and students ask about schedules, fees and levels. The flow captures the course of interest and books a call or a placement test.
CTA: Ask about the next intake
Events and community
Registrations, reminders and updates for events and NGOs, with opt-in lists so attendees get the details they need.
CTA: Reserve your seat on WhatsApp
Honest comparison
WhatsApp, instant form or website: which ad should you run?
Click-to-WhatsApp is not always the answer. Here is how we choose between the three most common Meta destinations.
| Click-to-WhatsApp | Instant form | Website | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Best when | Customers ask questions before they buy, or pay cash on delivery | You need many leads and call them back | People can buy or book without help |
| Customer effort | Very low: tap and send | Very low: prefilled form | Higher: page load and checkout |
| Your team’s effort | High: chats need fast replies | Medium: call-backs | Low once the site converts |
| Lead quality | Usually high, the person spoke to you | Varies, improved by qualifying questions | High for purchases |
| Tracking | Chats by default; orders with API events or labels | Leads inside Meta and your CRM | Full with Pixel and Conversions API |
Many accounts run two of the three side by side. We let cost per order, not cost per click, decide where budget goes.
The inbox
Reply speed decides the ROAS.
The ad can be perfect and still lose money if chats wait. Someone who messages a business is usually comparing options, and the first good answer often wins the sale.
That is why every WhatsApp Ads engagement with AlGurus includes an inbox playbook, not just campaigns:
- Instant greeting in Arabic or English, with business hours and what happens next.
- Saved replies for the ten questions your team answers every day.
- Labels such as new, hot, ordered and follow-up, so nothing is forgotten.
- After-hours flow that captures the request and promises a reply time you can keep.
- Weekly review of chats that did not convert, so we fix the offer, the ad or the script.

Setup
WhatsApp Business app or Business Platform (API)?

- Greeting and away messages, quick replies, labels

Respect the inbox
How we keep WhatsApp personal, not spammy.
WhatsApp is the most personal app on your customer’s phone. Treat it like a billboard and people block you, which also hurts your number’s quality rating with Meta.
Opt-in only
We message people who started a chat or clearly agreed to hear from you, through your ads, website or store.
Value first
Order updates, personal service, restock alerts and genuine offers, not a blast of promotions.
Right timing
No late-night sends and careful timing around prayers, Ramadan and holidays.
Easy opt-out
Every marketing message includes a clear way to stop receiving them, which keeps trust and compliance intact.
How it works
From first call to a working sales channel.
Strategy call
We look at your offer, chat volume, team and current ads, and decide between the app and the API.
Setup
WhatsApp Business account, catalogue, greeting, quick replies, labels and tracking configured and tested.
Creative and scripts
Ads, prefilled messages and reply scripts written in Arabic and English for each offer.
Launch
Campaigns go live with daily checks on cost per chat, reply speed and chat quality for two weeks.
Optimise and scale
Weekly reviews of chats and orders. Budget moves to the ads that start conversations that close.
Deliverables
What you get with WhatsApp Ads management
- Click-to-WhatsApp campaigns on Facebook and Instagram, with WhatsApp placements where available.
- Creative and prefilled messages in Arabic and English, tested by offer and audience.
- WhatsApp Business setup: app or API, catalogue, greeting, away message and labels.
- Order, booking or FAQ flows with a clean handoff to your team.
- Inbox playbook with saved replies and response-time targets.
- Tracking from conversation started to order, including conversion events where the API is used.
- Opt-in follow-up messages for order updates, reminders and offers.
- Weekly report on cost per chat, reply speed, chat-to-order rate and cost per order.
Honest fit
When WhatsApp Ads are (and aren’t) the right choice
A strong fit when
- Your customers ask questions before they buy, or prefer cash on delivery.
- You sell appointments, viewings, test drives or consultations.
- Someone on your team can reply quickly during business hours.
- Your product or service has enough margin to justify a conversation.
- You want repeat customers you can reach again with permission.
Probably not the first choice when
- Nobody can answer chats quickly; the ads will waste money until that is fixed.
- Your store converts well on its own and buyers do not need help: send them to the website.
- You sell very low-priced items where a conversation costs more than the margin.
- You plan to blast promotions to bought lists. We will not do that, and Meta will restrict the number.
- You need large volumes of leads for a call centre: instant forms are usually more efficient.

FAQ
WhatsApp Ads questions, answered.
Straight answers about click-to-WhatsApp ads and WhatsApp Business with AlGurus.
What are WhatsApp Ads?
WhatsApp Ads are Facebook and Instagram ads with a “Send WhatsApp message” button. When someone taps, WhatsApp opens a chat with your business, often with a prefilled message, so the conversation starts in the app your customers already use every day. Meta is also bringing ads into the Updates tab of WhatsApp itself, and we use those placements where they are available.
How can WhatsApp marketing benefit our business in Jordan compared to other social media?
WhatsApp is the messaging app Jordanians use most, for family, work and shopping. Unlike a feed, it is a direct, personal and trusted line to your customer. That makes it ideal for selling through conversation: answering questions, sending offers, confirming orders and supporting customers after they buy. For many Jordanian businesses, especially those that sell with cash on delivery or by appointment, a chat converts better than a form.
What types of WhatsApp ads and strategies do you use?
We combine four things: click-to-WhatsApp ads on Facebook and Instagram that open a chat instantly; automated greetings and quick replies in Arabic and English so nobody waits; catalogue integration so people can browse products inside WhatsApp; and segmented follow-up messages to customers who opted in, such as order updates, restock alerts and offers.
How do you make sure our messages are welcome and not seen as spam?
We build on permission and value. We message only people who started a chat or opted in, we send messages that are useful (order updates, personal service, genuine offers), we avoid late nights and sensitive times, and every marketing message includes a clear way to stop receiving them. This also protects your number’s quality rating with Meta.
How do you track the ROI of WhatsApp Ads?
We track the full path: cost per conversation started, the share of chats that reply and qualify, time to first reply, conversations that become an order or booking, cost per order, and repeat purchases from WhatsApp customers. With the WhatsApp Business Platform we can send conversion events back to Meta, so campaigns optimise for buyers, not just chats.
Do you set up the WhatsApp Business API and manage conversations?
Yes. We handle the WhatsApp Business Platform (API) application, number setup or migration of your existing number, display name and verification, message templates, and automated flows for FAQs, ordering, booking and support. We can also train your team to handle live chats with a personal touch. We set up the flows; your team or ours handles the human replies, depending on the plan.
Do we need the API, or is the WhatsApp Business app enough?
For a small team handling a few dozen chats a day, the free WhatsApp Business app with click-to-WhatsApp ads works well. Once several people need to answer from one number, you want automation, CRM integration or conversion tracking back to Meta, the Business Platform (API) is the better choice. We recommend the setup on your strategy call based on your volume.
How much do WhatsApp Ads cost?
You pay Meta for the ads, usually measured as cost per conversation started, and if you use the API, Meta charges per message for certain template messages. We size your ad budget on the strategy call from the cost per order or booking you can afford. We do not publish fixed prices because every market and offer behaves differently.
Can WhatsApp Ads work for Saudi Arabia and the Gulf too?
Yes. Click-to-WhatsApp works especially well in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar and Iraq, where buying through chat is common. We run separate campaigns, languages and reply scripts per market, and route chats to the right team or number.
