Your ad image is the first thing members notice; it is what stops the scroll. Using a strong, relevant image and refreshing it regularly is one of the simplest ways to improve your ad performance. Alignable recommends updating your image at minimum every three weeks to keep your ad looking fresh and engaging.
To update your ad image:
- Go to your Sponsorship Dashboard
- Click Communities You Have Ads In
- Click Edit Ad next to the community you want to update
- Update your image by uploading your own or creating one using our AI image assistant
- Click Save
Your ad preview will update in real time on the right-hand side so you can see how it looks before saving.
A few things to keep in mind:
- Do not use copyrighted images unless you have a certificate of use. Using images you do not have rights to can result in your ad being removed.
- Branded images perform best. If you are uploading your own image, use something that reflects your business — your logo, a photo of your team, or a branded graphic.
- No image of your own? Use the AI image assistant to create a custom image tailored specifically to your ad. A custom image will always outperform a generic stock photo.
