What is a social media boost?

A social media boost is a specified amount of money that is placed on a paid ad to increase the reach and performance.

 

How does a boost work?

The specified boost amount is added to the paid ad at the time of scheduling. The social media platform then recognizes that the ad has been boosted and places the ad before a larger, more targeted audience.
