Starting today, Reddit rolled out a series of updates aimed at making it easier for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) to advertise on the platform.
The changes focus on simplifying the ad creation process, improving signal quality, and helping advertisers move campaigns from other platforms like Meta with fewer headaches.
These updates follow Reddit’s continued push to make its Ads Manager more accessible, especially for smaller businesses that may not have the luxury of dedicated ad ops teams or outside agencies.
Launching Campaigns Faster With New Tools
In the Reddit Ads update, they announced two new tools to streamline campaign creation:
- Campaign Import.
- Simplified Campaign Quality Assurance (QA).
The first of the additions is Campaign Import, a tool that lets advertisers bring campaigns over from Meta directly into Reddit Ads Manager.
The process is straightforward — after connecting their Meta account, advertisers can select an existing campaign, import it, and make any necessary adjustments to suit Reddit’s environment.
This isn’t just a time-saver; it gives brands a quick way to leverage proven creative and targeting strategies while adapting them to Reddit’s unique audiences.
Another welcomed update is Reddit’s new Campaign Quality Assurance (QA) system. Instead of clicking back and forth between settings pages, advertisers now get a consolidated review page summarizing all key campaign details.
If something looks off — budget, targeting, placements, or creative — users can jump directly to the relevant section and make fixes before going live.
It may seem small, but anyone who’s fumbled through nested ad platforms under tight deadlines knows how much this improves workflow.
Improved Quality Signals In Reddit Ads
In addition to the streamlined campaign creation tools, Reddit also announced two features to improve the quality of audience and user behavior signals:
- 1-click Google Tag Manager integration for Reddit Pixel.
- Event Manager Quality Assurance (QA).
The platform now offers a 1-click integration with Google Tag Manager (GTM) for the Reddit Pixel, dramatically reducing the friction of installing and configuring conversion tags.
Advertisers can now fire up GTM, install the Reddit Pixel in minutes, and start sending conversion data without needing to pull in a developer. This update alone will make performance-focused advertisers breathe a little easier.
Reddit also upgraded its Event Manager QA tools. The revamped Events Overview now gives a clearer breakdown of conversion events coming from both the Reddit Pixel and the Conversions API (CAPI).
Advertisers can spot data discrepancies faster and ensure their lower-funnel campaigns are set up for success.
Jim Squires, EVP of Business Marketing and Growth at Reddit, noted that SMBs have always been an essential part of the platform’s community and advertising base.
We continue to make improvements to the Reddit Ads Manager that make it easier to launch and manage campaigns, so they can focus on what matters most: growing and running their businesses.
Reddit Ads Continues To Push Forward
With these latest updates, Reddit continues refining its ad platform for a broader range of advertisers, with particular attention to reducing friction for growing businesses.
Advertisers who have been looking for more streamlined ways to import, optimize, and measure campaigns will likely find these tools helpful as they plan their next steps on Reddit.
