How to automate Facebook ads with Crush

  1. Connect your ad account

    Link your Meta ad account and tell Crush about your store.

  2. Get your ads made

    Crush creates creatives and copy, or new versions of a proven ad you pick from the library.

  3. Launch in your ad account

    Crush launches the campaigns in your own Meta ad account.

  4. Keep what sells

    Winners get more budget and losers are turned off. Turn on Autopilot and the testing runs hands-off.

What Facebook ads automation actually means

Facebook ads automation, also called Meta ads automation, has three layers. Most stores already use the first, Advantage+ (Meta's automated campaign type); the second is automated rules you write and maintain yourself. The third is the work around the campaign, where a small store spends most of its time, and it is what Crush automates.

Facebook ads automation FAQ

More questions? Email [email protected].

What is Facebook ads automation?

Software that does the repetitive parts of running Meta ads: making creatives, launching tests and moving budget based on results. Meta automates delivery inside each campaign with Advantage+. Tools like Crush automate the work around it.

Can you fully automate Facebook ads?

Most of the routine work, yes: making creatives, launching them, and scaling or turning off ads based on results. You still decide what you sell, your offer and your budget, and you should look at results regularly. Meta gives the same advice for its own automated rules (opens in a new tab).

What is the difference between Advantage+ and Crush?

Advantage+ is Meta's AI for delivery: who sees your ads and how the budget is spread inside a campaign, using the creatives you give it. Crush makes those creatives, launches the campaigns in your ad account and decides which ads to scale and which to turn off.

What do Crush credits pay for?

Making ads uses credits: an image ad uses 2 and a video ad uses 20, so 120 credits make 60 image ads or 6 video ads. Connecting, launching and budget changes never use credits, and you can buy extra credit packs. Every plan includes credits; after the first plan, 120 come each month.

Does Crush work for Instagram ads?

Yes. Crush works with Meta ads, which run on Facebook and Instagram. It does not run Google, TikTok or other ad networks. It also publishes daily organic posts to your own TikTok, Instagram and Facebook.

What do I need to get started?

A Meta ad account, a Facebook Page for the ads to run from, and a store or product to advertise. Crush launches the campaigns in your own ad account, so you can see everything in Meta Ads Manager too.
