Connect your Meta account and launch your campaign right from the Zeely app.
When you use your own Meta account, Meta charges you directly for your ad spend. Zeely doesn’t add a service fee. Meta also handles account verification, ad review, approvals, and billing.
Before you begin, make sure you have a Meta account. If you still need to create one, follow How to create a Meta account first.
Once your account is connected, you’ll return to Zeely. If you have more than one Page or ad account, you can choose which ones to use when setting up your campaign.
Start a Meta campaign
Open the Zeely app and tap Campaigns, the bar chart icon at the bottom of the screen. Then, select Paid.
Tap the plus icon in the lower-right corner.
In the Create menu, select Meta campaign.
Select your own connected Meta ad account. The Meta logo appears beside accounts that belong to you. Make sure you do not select Zeely’s Meta partner account if you want Meta to bill and manage this campaign through your account.
Choose the Facebook page that will represent your business in the ads.
Enter the page people should open after tapping your ad. Enter a link manually or choose one of your existing products.
Give your campaign a clear name so you can easily recognize it later.
Choose what you want your campaign to achieve:
Traffic to bring people to your website
Leads to collect contact information
Sales to drive purchases and conversions
You can save your campaign as a draft anytime. Just tap the X in the upper-left corner, and Zeely will suggest saving your progress as a draft. Your campaign stays in drafts and won’t be sent to Meta, so you won’t spend any of your ad budget until you finish setting it up and launch it.
To return to a saved draft:Open Campaigns, the bar chart icon at the bottom of the screen. Select Paid.
Find the campaign marked Draft under My campaigns.
Tap the three-dot icon beside it.
Select View campaign, then continue the setup.
To delete the draft, select Delete and confirm your choice.
Choose the images or videos you want Meta to test in the campaign. Use Assets to filter the available creatives by product or service. You can select multiple creatives, including images, videos, or a combination of both. Everything you pick appears at the bottom of the screen.
To remove the one you do not need, tap the X on its thumbnail.
Zeely prepares an ad for every creative you selected. Scroll through the previews and check:
The Facebook Page and advertiser name
The primary text above the creative
The image or video
The destination website
The headline below the creative
The call to action, such as Learn more
To change an ad, tap Edit. You can update the text, headline, or call to action. Review every ad separately, save any changes, then tap Continue.
Choose who and where you want to reach.
Use suggested audience: Use the location, gender, and age range recommended by Zeely.
Build your own audience: Choose the audience details yourself.
The Estimated audience size updates when enough targeting information is available. Tap Save, select your custom audience, then tap Continue.
Set up your budget and duration. Under Daily budget, enter how much you want to spend per day. The screen shows the minimum amount you can set in the currency linked to your campaign.
Under Duration, enter how many days you want your campaign to run.Zeely calculates and displays:
Total campaign budget: The amount based on your daily budget and campaign duration.
Expected ad viewers: An estimate based on your audience and campaign settings.
You may also see a recommendation to increase your budget to help improve results. This is a suggestion, not an additional charge.
What happens after launch
Meta reviews the campaign before the ads begin running. Because you are using your own account, Meta manages the review, verification, billing, and campaign settings directly.
Once approved, the ads will run through the Meta ad account and Facebook Page you selected. You can return to Campaigns → Paid in Zeely to view your campaigns and performance information.
