How to launch a paid campaign with Zeely’s Meta partner account

We’ll guide you step by step so nothing feels overwhelming.

Written by Nataly P

Ready to turn your creative into a live Meta campaign? You can launch everything right from the Zeely app.
​
Here’s how to do it:

  1. Open the Zeely app and tap Campaigns, the bar chart icon at the bottom of the screen. Then, tap the plus icon in the lower right corner. And select Meta campaign.

  2. Tap Ad account, then select Zeely Meta Partner Account to run your campaign through Zeely’s Meta partner account.
    ​

  3. Set up what you want to promote. Choose a destination link, the page people will land on when they click your ad. If your link isn’t listed in the drop-down menu, enter your website URL manually.

    Next, add a campaign name so you can easily track its performance later. Finally, choose your campaign objective: Traffic to bring people to your website, or Leads to collect contact information from people interested in your brand.

    You do not need to complete the campaign in one session. If you leave the setup before launching, Zeely saves your progress as a draft.

    To return to it:

    • Open Campaigns. Then, Select Paid.

    • Find the campaign marked Draft.

    • Tap the three-dot icon, then select View campaign and continue the setup.
      ​


    A draft is not sent to Meta, and no advertising budget is spent until you complete the setup and launch the campaign.
    ​
    If you no longer need the draft:

    • Open Campaigns and select Paid.

    • Find the draft you want to remove.

    • Tap the three-dot icon beside it.

    • Select Delete, then confirm the deletion.

    Important: Deleting a draft removes its campaign setup, but it does not delete the creatives used in it from your projects.

  4. Select the media that will run on social media. For the best results, we recommend adding at least three creatives, though you can also continue with just one image or video. You can choose from images and videos you've created in Zeely, uploading your own media for a Meta campaign isn't supported yet.
    ​
    Then tap Continue.
    ​

  5. After you tap Continue, you’ll be able to review each ad one by one. To make changes, tap Edit in the top-right corner.
    ​

    Take a moment to check the details before launch. You can edit the text, update images, change the call-to-action, or rewrite the caption at any time. Make sure to review the call-to-action button as well.
    ​

    When you’re happy with your edits, tap the X in the corner, then tap Continue.
    ​

  6. Build your warm-up page to spark interest before people click through. Choose colors from the palette below.
    ​

  7. Choose who you want to reach and where. You can select the location, gender, and age range yourself, or go with Zeely’s recommendations.
    ​

  8. Set up your budget and duration. Under Daily budget, enter how much you want to spend on your campaign each day.
    ​

    Under Duration, enter how many days you want your campaign to run. Zeely calculates your Total campaign budget by multiplying your daily budget by the campaign duration. For example, a daily budget of $10 for three days gives you a total campaign budget of $30.
    ​

    You’ll also see the Expected ad viewers, an estimate based on your audience and campaign settings. If Zeely recommends increasing your budget, tap the information icon to learn more.
    ​

    Review your total campaign budget and expected number of viewers. When everything looks right, tap Launch campaign.

    Important: Your Meta advertising budget is separate from your Zeely credits.

What happens after you launch your campaign?

Once your payment goes through, Zeely automatically sets up your campaign and sends it to our expert team for moderation. Your campaign runs through Zeely’s Meta partner account, using the business information you provided during setup.
​

Why we review your campaign

Moderation helps us:

  • Check that your ad meets Meta’s advertising policies.

  • Reduce the risk of ad rejections or account restrictions.

  • Help prevent wasted ad spend on ads that don’t meet Meta’s requirements.

What happens after the review?

  • If approved: Your campaign appears as active in the Ads section. Meta then performs its own review, which may take a few additional hours.

  • If declined: We’ll email you explaining why and providing clear instructions on how to address the issue. Your payment will be fully refunded to your original payment method.

How long does the review take?

Our team typically reviews campaigns within 1–12 hours. During busy periods, the review may take up to 24 hours. Meta’s review takes place after our approval and may require additional time. Once your ad is live, you can track its performance directly in Zeely.
​
If you ever feel unsure about targeting, budget, or creative choices, we’re right here with you.

We’re always happy to help you launch with confidence.
