# Can I run ads only on Instagram or only on Google?

# Can I run ads only on Instagram or only on Google?

Yes — Ctrl+A gives you full flexibility to decide **where your ads run**. During the campaign creation process, in the **Targeting** step, you can choose exactly which platforms you want to use for your campaign.


## Selecting Advertising Channels

In the Targeting section, you’ll see a list of available platforms such as:

* **Facebook**
* **Instagram**
* **Google Search**
* **Google Display Network (GDN)**
* **YouTube**

You can freely select one or multiple platforms depending on your goals. For example:

* Run ads **only on Instagram** to boost local visibility or engagement.
* Run ads **only on Google Search** to drive traffic from people actively looking for your services.
* Combine multiple channels for broader reach and better performance optimization.

## Channel Availability Depends on Account Connections

Your available ad channels depend on which accounts are connected to your Brand:

* If you **connect your Facebook Page** (and its linked **Instagram account**), you can run ads on **Facebook and Instagram**.
* If you **don’t connect your Facebook Page**, you can only use **Google channels** (Google Search, GDN, and YouTube).

Ctrl+A automatically detects which ad platforms are available based on your connected accounts, and disables any that can’t be used.


## Example

If you’ve only connected your Facebook Page and not Google, you can still run ads on **Facebook and Instagram**.
If you haven’t connected any Meta accounts, your campaign can still run across **Google Search, GDN, and YouTube**.


## Summary

Yes, you can run ads only on Instagram or only on Google.
In the campaign targeting step, simply select the platforms you want to advertise on — Ctrl+A adapts automatically to your connected ad accounts to make sure your ads run smoothly on the channels you choose.
