Telegram Ads by target country

Countries ranked by how many sponsored creatives target them. The target is read from the creative itself — landing-page ccTLD, writing script, an explicit country flag, or the unambiguous language of the ad.

Until 2026-06-03 this page ranked countries by the region we asked our observer pool for — a label on our request, not a confirmed place of viewing: when no account is available in the requested country the pool silently substitutes another and does not say so. On that date our own collection stopped requesting the observation region, so no readings have come in since; the measurement has been withdrawn rather than left looking live. The number you see now answers a different question: who the advertiser targets.

FAQ

How does /geos differ from /countries?

It no longer does. Both rank countries by advertiser target intent from the same source. /countries is the canonical page and carries the per-country deep dives, so this page points at it.

What exactly is counted?

Sponsored creatives whose target country is confirmed by the creative itself — landing-page ccTLD, writing script, an explicit country flag, or the unambiguous language of the ad (428,571 in total). Creatives whose only country signal was the region we asked our observer pool for are excluded: that was a label on our own request, not a confirmed place of viewing — and not who the ad was for.

Which countries are targeted most?

Top 5 by creatives targeting them: Russia (174,233), India (51,192), Iran (46,543), Myanmar (24,075), Indonesia (20,336). Coverage is strongest where Telegram Ads cabinets are most active. Open /countries/<cc> for per-country advertiser and niche breakdowns.

Is the geo classification method documented?

Yes — /info/geo documents the advertiser-intent classifier and its confidence tiers. The same logic powers https://tgadsspy.com/api/v1/geos (programmatic access, CC-BY-4.0).
