Why Ads Manager is blind to Messenger revenue
When a customer taps your ad and sends a message, Meta records a "conversation started" event. Whether they actually order happens entirely inside the conversation — where Meta has no access.
The result: ROAS reporting in Ads Manager is nearly always empty for inbox-based selling, leaving the shop owner with no basis for deciding whether to pause or scale.
An ad recipe built specifically for selling through messages
There is a configuration combination designed to optimise the "message then buy" flow, helping Meta deliver to the audiences most likely to message and close.
This is the blind spot of most international tools, which were built for website purchases rather than conversations.
