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.
Here's how to set up:
Log in to your Zeely account at https://app.zeely.ai/.
Go to Promotion section and click on Paid campaigns tab. Then click Create campaign.
Set up campaign basics:
Add a 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.
Pick something clear and recognizable. You’ll thank yourself later when you’re running multiple campaigns.
Choose 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)
Upload visuals for your ad. Images or videos both work. We suggest adding 3 to 5 options. The system will test them automatically and shift the budget toward what performs best.
Review your ad to make sure everything looks right:

Button
Description
Need to make changes? Hit the three dots in the upper right corner and select Edit, or click the three dots at the bottom. Both options take you to the editing screen.
You can edit the ad text, headline, or call-to-action anytime. And if you want a quick copy glow-up, tap the T✨ icon — AI will polish the wording for you.
Click Save, then Continue.
Once you’ve reviewed all your ads, it’s time to set up your warm-up page. It’s a simple page that introduces users to your offer before redirecting them to your website. Choose your colors and layout.
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.
Now you need to set your budget and duration. Based on the goal you chose earlier — Traffic or Leads — select how many visitors or leads you’d like to get.
We’ll automatically suggest a recommended budget and campaign duration to match your expectations. If you prefer to fine-tune it yourself, move the slider to adjust the numbers.
Campaign budget is the total amount you’ll spend over the entire campaign. It also helps calculate the optimal daily budget based on how many days your ad will run.
Duration defines how long your campaign will be active on social media platforms.
Good to know: The minimum recommended daily budget is $10 per day. This gives your campaign enough room to perform properly and deliver stable, meaningful results.
As 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.
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 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.
What is Zeely service fee?
We charge a small service fee to give you access to our tools, technology, and hands-on support. Your full ad budget goes directly to Meta and is used only to run your ads — nothing is taken from it.
Need a hand along the way? We’re truly here for you. Whether you’re stuck on a step, choosing creatives, or just want a second opinion, our Support team is happy to jump in. If you’d like, we can even help you set up your campaign together — just say the word.
