Guide notes — provider access must be verified:
What it is: Paid adverts on supported Meta services, such as Facebook and Instagram. It is the overall advertising system, not one specific advert format.
Example (illustrative): A local bike shop advertises a repair service to a relevant local audience.
May suit: Local services and online brands with customers using the supported apps.
What is needed: An eligible advertising account, a clear offer, a picture or video, a destination and a spending limit.
First step: Choose one offer, audience and next action before choosing an advert format.
Check whether this option suits my audience and location. Ask about what is missing, a few questions at a time. Verify current official eligibility, regional restrictions, costs and permissions if you can browse; otherwise show what must be checked. Do not invent access, prices or performance. Suggest one small test only if the prerequisites are met. Include a maximum spend, one useful measure and a stopping rule. Explain each step in ordinary language. Do not publish, spend money, open accounts or contact anyone.
