Getting Started with 0ads: Launch 100+ Meta Ads in Seconds

Most advertisers spend hours inside Meta Ads Manager duplicating ad sets, uploading creatives one by one, and setting up targeting. 0ads eliminates that bottleneck entirely. Built on the official Meta API, the platform lets you launch over 100 ads in seconds with structured bulk creation workflows.

Sign Up and Connect Your Accounts

New users receive 500 free credits upon signup (1 credit = 1 USD of ad spend), so you can test the platform without any commitment. After creating your account, connect your Meta ad accounts through the standard Facebook Business login. The Free plan supports up to 3 ad accounts, Advanced ($49/month) supports 15, and Enterprise offers unlimited accounts.

Once connected, your existing campaigns, ad sets, and ads sync into the Campaign Dashboard automatically.

Choose Your Campaign Layout

0ads offers two distinct campaign creation workflows:

Mass Launch (CBO Only)

Mass Launch is designed for speed. You define a single Campaign Budget Optimization (CBO) campaign, then rapidly generate dozens or hundreds of ad set and ad combinations by mixing audiences, creatives, and placements. The system handles all the permutations for you and pushes them live via the Meta API in one batch. This is ideal for creative testing at scale or launching new offers across multiple audiences simultaneously.

Classic Layout (CBO or ABO)

The Classic layout mirrors the familiar Meta Ads Manager structure. You build campaigns step by step with full control over Campaign Budget Optimization or Ad Set Budget Optimization. This works well when you need precise budget allocation per ad set or want a workflow that feels like native Meta tooling but with the speed advantages of bulk actions.

Creative Testing Mode

Within either layout, you can enable Creative Testing Mode. This assigns multiple creatives to a single ad set, each with a different budget allocation. It functions as a structured A/B test where you can compare creative performance under controlled conditions rather than relying on Meta's dynamic creative optimization.

Your First Launch Checklist

  • Connect at least one Meta ad account
  • Upload creatives to the Creative Library (images, videos, or carousels)
  • Set up or import Custom Audiences (CSV upload supported)
  • Choose Mass Launch or Classic layout
  • Configure targeting, placements, and budgets
  • Review the preview, then hit Launch
  • What Happens After Launch

    All launched campaigns appear in the Campaign Dashboard where you can archive, tag, compare metrics side by side, and duplicate campaigns back to Meta. Columns are fully customizable with saved presets, so you see only the KPIs that matter to your workflow.

    Next Steps

    Once your campaigns are live, set up Automation Rules to auto-pause underperformers and scale winners, connect Telegram for real-time alerts, and let AI Marketer IMI surface insights you might miss. The platform is built for media buyers who run volume. Start with the 500 free credits and see how much time you save on day one.
