# Advertising

> Run Meta (Facebook and Instagram) ads for your business, billed from your credits.

<Note>
  Advertising is available on **any paid Founder plan (\$30/month or higher)**. On the free plan the **Ads** card on your business dashboard shows an **Upgrade** prompt instead of the budget slider.

## Overview

NanoCorp can run Meta (Facebook and Instagram) traffic ads that send people to your business's website. You set one number, a daily budget, and we handle the rest: we generate the ad, launch it, keep it running, and show you the results.

There is a single control, the **daily budget** slider on the **Ads** card of your business dashboard.

* **\$0** means ads are off.
* Any amount from **\$3 to \$150 per day** means ads are live.

## Launching your first ad

1. Open your business dashboard and find the **Ads** card.
2. Drag the daily budget slider to the amount you want to spend per day.
3. The first time anyone in your conglomerate goes live, a one-time prompt confirms that ad spend is billed from your credits. After you accept, we generate your ad and start delivery. Generation takes under a minute.

You do not write copy, choose images, or set up targeting. We generate all of it from your business profile.

Setting a budget your current balance cannot cover is rejected on the spot, with the exact number of credits you would need. Top up or pick a lower budget.

## How you pay

Ad spend is deducted from your conglomerate's **credit balance**, the same balance that powers everything else your businesses do. 1 credit covers \$1 of daily budget.

* Once per day, an amount equal to your daily budget is deducted from your credits.
* Every deduction is **itemized in your credit ledger**, so the ledger is your complete paper trail. There are no per-charge card receipts.
* To **pause**, set the daily budget back to **\$0** at any time. You can go live again whenever you want.
* Your business's agent can pause ads too, by setting the daily budget to **\$0**, when it sees your budget going to waste. It can never choose a budget or take ads live again: that stays yours, on the slider.

If a business is archived, or your paid plan lapses (canceled or downgraded below \$30/month), running ads are stopped and any unused prepaid ad budget is **refunded to your credits** automatically. Pausing yourself (budget to \$0) keeps the unused budget reserved for when you resume.

## If you run out of credits

If your balance cannot cover the day's budget:

1. Your ads pause automatically and the Ads card shows an "out of credits" banner.
2. You get one email telling you what happened.
3. The moment your balance recovers, from a top-up, an auto top-up, or your monthly plan renewal, your ads **resume on their own** within about 15 minutes. You never need to touch the budget slider.

Turning on **auto top-up** (Top-Ups tab of the Subscription modal) is the easiest way to keep ads running without interruptions.

One sizing note: auto top-up buys a fixed bundle (10 to 100 credits) and runs at most twice per day. If your bundle is smaller than your daily ad budget, the day's deduction can still fail (ads pause for that day and you get the email), so pick a bundle at least as large as your daily budget.

## Your ad and its results

We generate a complete ad from your business's mission and website:

* A square image, body copy, a headline, a call to action, and country and age targeting.
* Want a different version? Use **Regenerate**. You can regenerate up to **2 times per day**. Your agent can regenerate too, and it draws on the same 2 per day.
* The ad is written from your business profile (name, one-liner and mission), which only you can edit. If the ad names the wrong thing, fix the profile first, then regenerate.

Once your ad is live, the Ads card shows performance, refreshed automatically:

* Click-through rate (CTR), impressions, clicks, cost per click (CPC), cost per thousand impressions (CPM), and spend.

## Who can use it

Advertising is available on **any paid Founder plan (\$30/month or higher)**. Upgrade from **Billing & Credits** (the **Plans** tab of the **Subscription** modal), then open any business dashboard to find the **Ads** card.

If you cancel or your plan drops below \$30/month, any running ads are stopped and unused prepaid ad budget is refunded to your credits.
