No blank campaign and no guessing which audiences belong together. Pick the proven structure that fits your store, fill in your inputs once, and Simple Ads turns it into a complete Meta Sales campaign.

  1. 1

    Pick the right playbook

    Choose by your goal and where your store is today — not by Meta jargon.

  2. 2

    Add the basics once

    Select the product and creative, connect your assets, and set one daily budget.

  3. 3

Full-funnel by temperature

One Sales campaign that covers every stage — from strangers to buyers.

4 audiences

Retargeting stack

Win back the warm shoppers who are closest to buying.

Best for stores that get traffic but not enough sales

3 audiences

Lookalike stack

Scale prospecting from the people who look like your buyers.

Best for stores with a solid base of past buyers

1 audience

Advantage+ prospecting

Let Meta's AI find your buyers — the simplest way to scale.

One per interest

Audience / interest testing

Test interests fairly with an equal budget for each one.

Best for stores still finding their winning audience

The problem

Running Meta ads shouldn't take an agency and a lost afternoon.

Ads Manager is built for specialists. Between choosing a campaign structure, writing copy, guessing audiences and wiring up the pixel, most merchants either overpay an agency or never launch at all.

Simple Ads starts from the structure a media buyer would choose and fills it in for you — inside Shopify, in your ad account.

Hours in Ads Manager

A maze of nested settings just to get one campaign out the door.

Which structure?

Retargeting, lookalikes, Advantage+ — and no idea which belong in one campaign.

Blank-page ad copy

Staring at an empty text box, unsure what actually converts.

Guesswork audiences

No idea which interests or locations to pick — or how many people they reach.

Or build one campaign by hand

Five guided steps, one live campaign

Want a single ad instead of a full strategy? The wizard carries you from product to launch — with a live ad preview the whole way.

01

Format & product

Single image, video or catalog — then pick products, or whole collections, with Shopify's own picker.

02

AI creative

Primary text, headline and description written from your product, with a live Facebook & Instagram preview.

03

Connect Facebook

Link your Business, ad account, Page, Instagram and pixel — or let Simple Ads create what's missing.

04

Audience & budget

Locations and interests searched live against Meta, a daily budget, and Meta's own reach estimate.

05

Launch

Review everything on one screen, then deploy the full campaign with a live log of every step.

Single image

A classic feed ad from one product — image, copy, headline and call to action.

Video

Upload a short MP4 or MOV; Simple Ads processes it with Meta and builds a native video ad.

Catalog

Advantage+ dynamic product ads — Meta decides which of your products to show each shopper.

Inside the app

Eight things you'd otherwise do by hand

Every one of these is a screen in the app today — not a roadmap item.

AI copywriter

Primary text, headline and description from the product you picked — in your store's own vocabulary. Regenerate any single field without touching the others.

Live Facebook & Instagram preview

The feed post, rendered as you type. Flip between Facebook and Instagram placements before anything ships.

Smart audience builder

Locations and interests searched live against Meta, AI-suggested keywords, and a reach estimate from Meta's own delivery API.

Auto asset setup & pixel detection

Missing a Business Manager, ad account or pixel? Simple Ads can create and wire it up — then check which pixel is really firing on your storefront.

Guided strategies

One form, a whole funnel: prospecting, warm engagers, lookalikes and retargeting inside a single campaign, with Meta's budget optimisation steering spend.

Scale toolkit

Lookalikes, audience split tests, fresh creatives and cost-guard automation — each set up against the ad set you choose.

ROAS dashboard & AI ad-health

Spend, revenue, ROAS, CTR and cost per purchase for every campaign, plus a health read that says what to do about it.

One-click deploy

Campaign, ad set, creative and ad, created in your account in order — with a live log and the Meta object ID for each one.

  1. Campaign

    Sales objective, with the budget set up the way the strategy needs

  2. Ad sets

    One per audience — targeting, placements and optimisation

  3. Ad creatives

    Your product image or video, AI copy and UTM tags

  4. Ads

    Ready to serve on Facebook and Instagram

One-click launch

A complete campaign, deployed into your account.

Behind the Launch button, Simple Ads creates the real Meta hierarchy — campaign, ad sets, ad creatives and ads — and streams every step to a live log, with the Meta object ID for each one.

  • Deploys to your own Meta ad account, never ours
  • Every audience the strategy calls for, in one Sales campaign
  • UTM tags on every ad, so Shopify attributes the revenue
  • Every step logged live — success or error, in plain sight
After launch

Everything you launched, in one place.

  • One list for everything you've launched

    Every campaign, guided strategy and scale run in one Tasks view, with its live status from Meta. Pause or resume without opening Ads Manager.

  • Meta's errors, in plain English

    When Meta rejects something, the reason it gave is shown on the task — with a Retry right beside it once you've fixed it.

  • Analytics for the ad account, pixel and Page

    Spend, revenue, ROAS and cost per purchase over any period, compared to the one before — plus what your pixel and Page are doing.

  • Told when something is ready to scale

    Campaigns returning at least 2× with repeat purchases are flagged, with the next move: raise the budget 20% at a time.

When something works

The four moves that come next.

Scale reads the campaigns already running in your ad account and builds on top of them. Pick a play; Simple Ads sets it up against the ad set you choose.

3 campaigns ready to scale

Returning at least 2× with repeat purchases — raise budgets by 20% at a time.

Example from a demo store.

Lookalike audiences

Find new audiences that behave like your best customers and prospects.

Split test audiences

Clone a winning ad set across locations, ages and interests to see what wins.

Test new creatives

Beat ad fatigue by dropping fresh creatives into ad sets that are already running.

Cost-guard automation

Let Meta pause anything that drifts past the cost per result you can afford.

True ROAS AI
Better together

Launch with Simple Ads. Measure with True ROAS AI.

Simple Ads tags every ad with clean UTMs; True ROAS AI reads them to attribute orders and reveal the real, after-cost profit of each campaign. Launch and truly measure — one studio, one loop.

Pricing

Simple pricing. Every feature on both plans.

Two plans, both with every ad format, guided strategies and the Scale toolkit — the only difference is how many campaigns you run at once. Every plan starts with a free trial, and you always advertise from your own Meta ad account.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Do I need my own Meta ad account?
Yes. Simple Ads deploys into your own Business Manager and ad account — it never runs ads through an account we own. If you're missing a piece of Meta infrastructure, the app can create and wire it up for you during the connect step.
Will you spend my money?
You stay in control. You set the daily budget and review the whole campaign before it launches. Meta bills your own ad account directly for any ad spend — the plan price covers the app only, and we never take a percentage of your spend.
Do I need Facebook advertising experience?
No. Pick the guided strategy that matches your goal, then add your product, creative and budget once. Simple Ads builds the campaign and audience structure for you. Everything it creates is standard and remains yours to edit in Ads Manager.
What does Simple Ads actually create in my ad account?
The real Meta hierarchy: a campaign, ad sets with your targeting and budget, ad creatives with your copy and image or video, and the ads themselves. You can see every object and its live status from the campaign detail page — or open it in Ads Manager.
Which ad formats can I run?
Single image, video, and catalog ads — where Meta's Advantage+ decides which of your products to show each shopper. Every format runs on both Facebook and Instagram, and the live preview shows you each placement before anything ships.
What happens if Meta rejects an ad?
The task shows Meta's own reason, word for word — for example, that the selected pixel hasn't received a Purchase event recently. Fix the cause, then press Retry on the task; you don't need to rebuild the campaign.
Can I scale a campaign that's already working?
Yes. Scale reads the campaigns in your ad account and sets up lookalike audiences, audience split tests, fresh creatives or a cost-guard rule against the ad set you choose. Analytics also flags campaigns that look ready to scale.
How much does it cost?
Two plans, both billed through Shopify with a 7-day free trial: Basic at $34/month ($24/month for your first two months) with up to 5 active campaigns, and Pro at $59/month with unlimited campaigns. Pay annually and you get two months free. Cancel any time from your Shopify admin.
Is my data safe?
Your Meta OAuth tokens are encrypted at rest, and campaigns run in your own ad account — we never take custody of your advertising spend. The app reads your Shopify products to build ads; that's the only scope it asks for.
Does it work with True ROAS AI?
Yes. Simple Ads tags every ad with clean UTMs, and True ROAS AI reads them to attribute orders and reveal the true, after-cost profit of the campaigns you launch here.
