Why advertise

A great product no one sees doesn’t sell

Word of mouth is slow, and hoping the right people wander in is a plan that stalls. Online advertising is the most measurable, lowest-risk way to put your business in front of the exact people most likely to buy, today rather than someday.

Where your customers already are

Over 3 billion people use Meta’s apps every day. Your ad meets them on the feeds where they already spend hours, instead of hoping they notice a billboard.

Reach the right people

Target by country or city, age, gender, interests, and language, so your budget goes to people who can actually buy, instead of paying to reach the whole street.

Every dollar is measurable

See reach, clicks, and cost per result in near real time. Unlike print, radio, or billboards, you always know exactly what’s working.

Start small, scale what works

Launch from a few dollars a day, learn fast, and put more behind the winners. No agency retainer, no contracts, no minimum spend.

Your first ad in three easy steps

No agency, nothing to learn, and no guesswork.

01

Connect your Facebook

Sign in with Facebook and choose the business Page you want to advertise. It’s a one-time setup that takes a minute.

02

Answer a few questions

Tell us your goal, your budget, and who you want to reach, down to the city, their interests, and their language. Add one photo or video, and you’ll see the ad and your audience size as you go.

03

Go live and get customers

We build and launch the whole ad for you, then show your spend and results in one simple place.

Built for busy business owners

Whether you run a shop, a studio, a nonprofit, or a one-person side hustle: everything you need to get customers, and nothing you have to learn.

No experience required

You don’t need to know anything about advertising. Answer a few plain questions and we build a proper ad campaign for you.

See it before you spend

Watch exactly how your ad will look on Facebook and on Instagram, on a phone and on a computer, and see how many people you’ll reach, before a single dollar goes out.

Pinpoint your audience

Go beyond “everyone in my country”: target specific cities or regions, interests like fitness or coffee, languages, ages, and whether your ad runs on Facebook, Instagram, or both.

You can’t overspend

Every ad has a hard spending limit built in, so a campaign can never run away with your money. You only ever spend what you put in.

Start from a few dollars a day

No agency retainer, no contracts, no monthly fee. Start small, see what works, and put more behind the winners.

See what’s working

Your spend and results show up in one place, in plain numbers, so you always know what you’re getting for your money.

Free to start. Pay as you go.

No subscription, no contracts, no per-launch fee. You only pay when your ads actually run.

Questions, answered

Do I need my own Facebook ad account?

Yes. Ads run on your Meta ad account with your payment method, and Meta bills you directly for ad spend. If you don’t have one yet, you can create one for free in Meta Business Suite in a couple of minutes, and you just need to add a payment method.

How does pricing work?

It’s free to start, with no subscription and no per-launch fee. You only pay a 20% fee on what you actually spend (about $5 on a $25 ad spend), and you pay Meta directly for the ad spend itself. You prepay a wallet to fund launches, and the minimum top-up is $50, held as ad credit.

What can I launch?

A single-creative image or video ad with your objective, budget, schedule, and audience. Your audience can be as broad or as precise as you like: whole countries or specific cities and regions, plus interests, languages, age, gender, and whether the ad runs on Facebook, Instagram, or both. It’s built for launching simple paid ads fast, not for managing sprawling multi-ad campaigns.

Can my campaign overspend?

No. Each launch places a hold for its full planned budget up front and sends Meta a hard spend cap. If your wallet can’t cover a launch, we ask you to top up first, and we never authorize ads you haven’t funded.
