About Five Minute Ads

We build the simplest way to run a real Facebook or Instagram ad: one form, a live preview, and hard spending limits, with none of Ads Manager's complexity.

Why Five Minute Ads exists

Meta Ads Manager is built for agencies running hundreds of campaigns. Everyone else — the restaurant owner, the salon, the nonprofit, the band promoting a show — is left choosing between a tool with hundreds of buttons they will never touch and a "Boost" button that quietly wastes money. We think promoting the thing you have poured your life into should not require becoming a media buyer.

So Five Minute Ads asks you a few plain questions — what you are promoting, who should see it, and what you want to spend — and builds a properly structured ad campaign on your own Meta ad account. You see the ad and your estimated audience before a single dollar goes out, and every launch carries a hard spend cap so a campaign can never run away with your money.

How we make money

There is no subscription and no per-launch fee. We charge a 20% fee on the ad spend you actually run, and you pay Meta directly for the spend itself. If your ads are not running, we are not earning — which keeps our incentives pointed the same way as yours. The full breakdown is on our pricing section.

Who it's for

Owners and organizers of every kind: local businesses and trades, online stores, nonprofits, coaches, event organizers, and creators. If you have something to promote and no time to learn advertising software, it is for you. We keep plain-language playbooks by industry and a jargon-free blog for anyone starting out, whether or not you use the product.
