Definition
A boosted post is an existing organic post promoted with ad spend directly from a page or profile. It is simpler but less flexible than Ads Manager campaigns.
Boosted post explained
Boosting is quick for reach and engagement, while Ads Manager gives full control over objectives, placements and optimisation.
Example
A café boosts a weekend menu post to people nearby.
