Questions people ask

Do I need a Facebook or Instagram account?

No. Your ad runs from Admaker Lab's Facebook Page and Meta ad account. If you have your own Facebook, Instagram, or Meta ad account, that works too. We just don't connect to it. See why people with a Meta account run ads here.

Do I need a website?

No. Every ad comes with a free web page at admkr.la, made from the ad. You can also send people to your own website, a listing on a site like Zillow or Etsy, or straight to a phone call with you.

Do I have to be a business?

No. People, families, churches, and clubs run ads here too.

Where can my ad run?

Around Bend, Oregon, about 20 miles out, Redmond included. On the Big Island of Hawaiʻi, within about 50 miles of Kona or Hilo. More towns are coming; if we're not in yours yet, leave your email when you start and we'll write when we open there.

What does it cost?

A $49 launch fee for each ad, plus your ad budget, which is the amount you choose to spend showing the ad. Design and your web page are free. Example: $20 a day for 7 days is a $140 budget, plus the $49 launch fee, for $189 in total.

How much of my budget do you keep?

We keep 25% of your ad budget for our work, and Meta gets the rest. On large budgets our share drops: 22.5% of the part over $1,000, and 20% of the part over $10,000. Your receipt shows what went to Meta and what we kept.

What happens to money my ad doesn't spend?

It goes back to your card within three days after the ad ends.

What if you can't run my ad?

We tell you why, and every dollar goes back to your card.

Can I cancel?

Yes, free, any time before your ad starts running. Once it starts running, or once you download it, the $49 launch fee is no longer refundable, but unspent budget still comes back to your card.

Is there a minimum?

Yes. The smallest ad is $10 a day for one day, plus the $49 launch fee.

Do I need to create an account with Admaker Lab?

No, and there's no password. We text a code to your phone to sign you in.

Will you text me?

Only if you tick the box asking for texts when you sign in. Otherwise we send updates by email.

What do you need from me?

Your mobile number, an email, the name of the person or business the ad is for, with a street address, and a credit or debit card in your name.

What ads won't you run?

Supplements and weight loss, lending and crypto, cannabis and vape, firearms, gambling, adult content, political and issue ads, multi-level marketing, celebrity likeness, and counterfeits. See the full list.

Why does Admaker Lab's name show at the top of my ad?

Every ad runs from Admaker Lab's Facebook Page, so our name and logo sit at the top. Your name, your picture, and your words make up the ad.

Is there anything special for contractors in Hawaiʻi?

Yes. Hawaiʻi law asks every contractor ad to carry the contractor's license number. We ask for yours and add it.

What makes a good photo for my ad?

A clear, well-lit photo of the real thing, with one subject and a plain background. Our photo guide explains how Facebook and Instagram show your picture and how we fit it.

Who is AI.FRED?

Our AI art director. He designs the ads we make and writes three versions of each. Approvals, declines, and refunds come from Admaker Lab, not from him.

Can I talk to a person?

Yes. Write info@admakerlab.com and a person answers.

How is this different from an agency, or doing it myself?

You decide what the ad does and what to spend, and we make, check, and run it. You pay for each ad on its own, with no contract or subscription, so whenever you like, you can switch to running ads from your own Facebook Page and Meta ad account, or hire an agency.
