Create a Campaign

Creating a campaign in Ctrl+A takes only a few minutes — yet behind the scenes, powerful AI handles everything from ad text to audience targeting and budget optimization.

Once you’ve selected a Brand, click Create Campaign in the sidebar to start.

Step 1 — Enter Your Website and Description

Ctrl+A begins by scanning your website to understand your business, products, and tone of voice.

You only need to:

1. Enter your website URL
2. Add a short business description (optional)
3. Choose your language

Ctrl+A automatically analyzes your site content to generate professional ad texts later.

Step 2 — AI Generates Text Assets

Based on your website and description, Ctrl+A instantly creates:

• Headlines (for Google & social ads)
• Descriptions and Body Texts (for social media)

Each asset is written for performance and adapted to your brand.

You can edit, regenerate, or remove any text to better match your tone.

Step 3 — Review and Select Images

Ctrl+A automatically selects relevant images from your website.

Images that best fit the ad topic are pre-selected, while others can be added manually or chosen from Unsplash directly inside the editor.

You can also upload your own visuals for complete control.

Step 4 — Define Targeting

Ctrl+A’s AI proposes an audience automatically — including interests, keywords, and demographics.

You can refine this audience anytime.

• Modify or add interests and keywords
• Adjust age range, gender, or parental status
• Add or edit location targeting — e.g., select a city or draw a radius around your shop or office

This ensures your ads reach exactly the right people.

Step 5 — Choose Channels and Budget

In this step, select where you want your ads to appear.

Available platforms include:

• Facebook
• Instagram
• YouTube
• Google Search
• Google Display (GDN)

💡 Recommendation:
Always activate all available platforms. Ctrl+A’s AI automatically allocates your budget where performance is highest.

A daily budget is proposed automatically — optimized for your campaign goal — but you can adjust it anytime.

Step 6 — Set Campaign Dates

Choose your campaign start date and optionally an end date.

You can always stop a campaign early or let it run continuously.

Step 7 — Check Auto Top-Up Settings

Before confirmation, Ctrl+A verifies your credit balance and auto top-up configuration.

If your balance is too low for your combined campaign budgets, you’ll receive a recommendation for a safe auto top-up threshold.

This ensures your campaigns never pause unexpectedly.

Step 8 — Review and Confirm

Once everything looks good, click Confirm Campaign.

Ctrl+A will:

• Automatically create your ads on all selected platforms
• Sync creatives and targeting with Google, Meta, and YouTube
• Start AI-based optimization as soon as delivery begins

Your campaign will appear in your dashboard within a few minutes.

Pro Tips for Best Results

• Use all available channels – Ctrl+A optimizes spend across them for maximum ROI.
• Provide a clear website URL – the better your content, the stronger your AI ad copy.
• Keep budgets flexible – the system reallocates funds where performance is best.
• Check your auto top-up settings regularly to avoid interruptions.
