Running paid campaigns in Zeely is the fastest way to bring your business in front of the right people. Unlike organic posts, paid ads let you target your audience with precision and put your budget where it matters most.
Before you begin, make sure you’ve already created at least three ads (video, static, or both). This gives Meta the chance to test, learn, and automatically boost the ad that performs best, so your money works smarter, not harder.
Good to know: You can save a paid campaign as a draft on the web, whether you're using Zeely's Meta partner account or your own Meta account. To delete a draft, open the Zeely mobile app and delete it there.
Here's how to set up:
Log in to your Zeely account at https://app.zeely.ai/.
Go to Marketing Tools in the left menu and select Meta Campaigns. Click + New Campaign to get started.
Select Use Zeely's Meta partner account, then click Continue.
Set up campaign basics:
Add a destination link to where people should go after clicking your ad — a product page, landing page, or lead form. You can paste it in or tap the arrow to pick from products you’ve already added.
Give your campaign a name. Pick something clear and recognizable. You’ll thank yourself later when you’re running multiple campaigns.
Select your objective:
Traffic — bring people to your site (a great option for selling physical or digital products)
Leads — collect contact details from potential customers (a great choice for promoting services or offering consultations)
Choose visuals for your ad. You can use images, videos, or both. We recommend adding 3 to 5 options so Meta can test them and optimise delivery based on performance. Please note that only media created in Zeely can be used in Meta campaigns — uploading your own files isn't supported yet.
Good to know: Once you've used a photo or video from Projects in a campaign, you can't delete it from Projects while it's still being used in that campaign. If you try to delete it, Zeely will show you a pop-up explaining this.

Choose who and where you want to reach. You can go with the AI-suggested audience or build your own.
If you build your own audience, select the locations where you want your ads to run, then set the age range and gender.
Set your budget and campaign duration. Enter your daily budget and choose how long you want your ads to run. Zeely sets the daily budget to $25, which is the minimum amount you can spend per day. You can increase the daily budget to match your campaign goals, but you cannot set it below $25.
Campaign budget is the total amount you plan to spend over the entire campaign. It also helps determine your daily budget based on how long your campaign runs.
For example:
A daily budget of $25 for 1 day gives you a total campaign budget of $25.
A daily budget of $25 for 2 days gives you a total campaign budget of $50.
Duration is how long your campaign will run.
As you adjust these values, Zeely updates the estimated number of ad viewers and calculates your total campaign budget based on your daily budget and duration.
Once you've entered your budget and duration, review your selections and move on to the next step.
When you click Launch campaign, you’ll be redirected to the Secure checkout page, where you can see a full summary of your campaign and choose your payment method. Enter your payment details and agree to the terms and conditions to complete the purchase.
Once the payment is successful, your ad campaign will be automatically created and sent to moderation by our expert team.
Your campaign will run through Zeely's Meta partner account, while the business information you provided during setup is used for your ad.
Moderation helps to:
Make sure your ad follows Meta’s advertising policies.
Reduce the risk of rejections or account restrictions.
Protect your budget from being spent on non-compliant or underperforming ads.
After the review:
If approved, your campaign will appear as active in the Campaigns section.
If your campaign is not approved:
You’ll receive a detailed email explaining what needs to be fixed
Your payment will be fully refunded to your original payment method
How long does the moderation by Zeely experts take?
Most campaigns are reviewed by our team within 1 to 12 hours.
During high-traffic periods, it may take up to 24 hours.
After we approve your campaign, Meta runs its own review. This may take a few additional hours.
Once your ad is live, you’ll be able to track your campaign’s performance right from your account.
