What is the minimum amount I need to run ads?

Created by Support Team, Modified on Thu, Oct 10 at 10:37 AM by Godson M

A high-performing, well-optimized ad can run for as little as $1/day!


That said, it often takes multiple revisions of testing out different creatives and formats and measuring their performance to get to that point.


We don't have mandatory minimums for your ad spend. However, we strongly recommend starting with at least $500 a month. This is separate from our agency fee for managing the ads.


How ad networks work


Google Ads, Facebook Ads, LinkedIn Ads, TikTok Ads, Bing Ads, and the like all work by testing data that gets users from a specific goal you determine (i.e., getting them to add to cart and then purchase something on your website).


Ad campaigns require a certain threshold of data to know whether or not your ad is working well or not.


The smaller your ad budget is, the less data your ad will have to know who to appear in front of.


Additionally, the smaller your ad budget is, the more fragmented your data will be. It'll take you longer to determine whether a particular ad campaign is a dud or not. 


For example, some ads initially perform poorly but are optimized over several weeks.
