Real ads running in Virginia right now

These are real ads that ran in Virginia, captured from Meta’s public Ad Library. Every one is captioned with the advertiser and how long it has been running.

Biggest ABA advertisers in Virginia

Ranked by the number of active ads we observed across Meta and Google — not by spend, which advertisers never disclose. More live ads usually signals a bigger, longer-running push, but read it as a measure of activity, not budget.

The market read on Virginia

The advertisers pushing hardest in Virginia are not picking a lane — ABS Kids and 3 others run on both Meta and Google at once, covering families whether they scroll or search. This is not just a chain fight — 14 of the advertisers in Virginia are local independents holding their own against 12 national brands, which tells you a focused local practice can absolutely show up here. The longest-running ad we have tracked in the state belongs to ABS Kids, live since Jul 24, 2025 — a campaign that has stayed on that long is usually one that is working.

The Meta picture

Meta’s Ad Library is a public record of every ad running on Facebook and Instagram, searchable by advertiser. It is the clearest window you have into what your competitors in Virginia are putting in front of families.

The Google picture

Google’s Ads Transparency Center publishes a rounded count of the ads an advertiser is running, shown here as “~N ads.” It is an approximate figure from Google, not a spend number, and it tells you who is buying search and display in Virginia.

Where this data comes from

Every number on this page comes from public sources, refreshed monthly (last run: July 2026). Meta ad counts and creatives come from Meta’s Ad Library; the “~N ads” figures come from Google’s Ads Transparency Center; the provider list is built from NPI registry data mapped to each clinic’s location. Counts are observed active ads as of the run date — not ad spend, which is not public for commercial advertisers. When a source blocks a check, we show the last confirmed data with its “as of” date rather than guess.

Common questions

How much does it cost to advertise ABA therapy?

Nobody can tell you a real number from the outside, and anyone who quotes a flat figure is guessing. Meta and Google do not publish what commercial advertisers spend, so this page never claims to. What actually sets your cost is your market: how many providers are bidding on the same keywords, how tight your service area is, what a new client is worth to your practice, and how well your intake converts a click into a booked assessment. A contested metro runs hotter than a rural county. The honest answer is that it varies — and the counts on this page tell you how crowded your specific market is, which is the input that matters most.

What is the Meta Ad Library?

It is a free, public database Meta runs of every ad active on Facebook and Instagram. Anyone can search it by advertiser and see the live creative, when it started running, and which platforms it is on. We use it to pull the ads and counts shown here. There is no login and nothing private about it — Meta is required to keep it open.

How often is this page updated?

Monthly. The current data was collected in July 2026, and every count is stamped with the date it was observed. Advertisers turn campaigns on and off constantly, so we re-run the collection each month to catch what changed.

Why don’t you show dollar spend?

Because it is not public. Meta and Google only disclose spend for political and social-issue ads, not commercial ones like ABA therapy. We could model a guess, but a made-up spend number is worse than none — it gives you false confidence. So we report what is actually observable: how many ads are running, on which platforms, and for how long.

How do I compete with the big advertisers in Virginia?

You do not have to outspend a national chain to win in Virginia — you have to out-target them. Chains run broad, generic campaigns across dozens of markets at once. You know your city, your waitlist reality, and the exact families you serve. A tighter geographic focus, ads that speak to local intake concerns, and a booking flow that actually converts will beat raw volume. Start by reading what the chains are saying in the gallery above, then say something they cannot.
