Quick question for Facebook advertisers here.


Do you guys still see a noticeable difference between using an aged Page and creating a completely new Page?


From what I've seen, Page age itself isn't everything.


I would rather use:


A clean aged Page with normal history


rather than:


A very old Page with multiple name changes and questionable activity.


So when choosing a Page, I normally look at history + quality first, and creation date second.


Would be interesting to hear what other media buyers are seeing in 2026.

Page age may still help a little but I would not rely on it. The page history and ad quality are likely more important. A new page can also do well.
 
It's still a little bit of page age but not the most important anymore. Facebook is more interested in the history of your account, the quality of your ads, engagement, and response to your ads. A fresh page can be effective provided that all is set up. It's often more important to have relevant targeting and consistent activity, than to have just an old page.
 
Actually, if the goal is simply to run ads, the Fanpage doesn't necessarily need to have a long history.
For certain products, Fanpages frequently get shut down, forcing businesses to constantly switch to new ones.
So, to be precise, the answer to your question depends on the type of product you are selling.

I find that page age is no longer as important as it used to be; you can still create a new page and run ads immediately, and those ads will still perform well with your content.

Yeah same here, since you can advertise new pages very easily as well. However, if the page is aged and has engagement and people in it, it will greatly help your marketing efforts.
 
Aged page performs much better in targeting Ads, when focusing on users who have interacted with the page Ads easily scale on age pages than a new page that has no much activities going on.
 
The age of a page doesn't determine all the factors for its success. You need to consider its history, any violations, and the potential for growth of a long-standing page. A clean history will lead to a better page and longer lifespan with effective campaigns.
 
Surprisingly, many people ask me about new pages, while few show interest in those that have been active for years. New pages can still perform well; the truly important factor is your product, as the age of the fanpage is no longer the deciding factor.
 
No, it doesn't matter.

I prefer new pages for the same reason you mentioned, the possibility of questionable history.
 
From my experience managing Facebook ad accounts, I agree that Page age alone isn’t a major factor anymore. I’d much rather work with a clean, consistent Page that has a normal history than an older Page with multiple name changes or suspicious activity. We usually look at the Page’s history, engagement, and overall trust signals before considering its age. A newer Page can still perform well if the content, offer, and targeting are solid.
