Overview
Native ads are paid placements designed to match the visual style and format of the content surrounding them, appearing as part of the natural feed or page experience.
The defining characteristic is visual and contextual integration: native ads don't look like ads at all at first glance.
On social platforms, native ads are the standard: Meta and TikTok in-feed ads are by definition native, they're formatted to look like organic posts.
In content networks and news apps, native ad units appear alongside editorial content with similar visual styling.
