What do I need to start using Ctrl+A?

To start using Ctrl+A, you only need a few essentials — no agency experience or deep marketing knowledge required. The platform is designed for small and very small businesses that want to launch professional, AI-powered campaigns quickly.

Basic Requirements

1. A Business Website or Landing Page

• Ctrl+A scans your website to understand your products, services, and brand tone. This allows the system to automatically generate ad headlines, descriptions, and visuals.If you don’t have a website yet, you can start by creating a simple one-page site or link to your existing online profile.

2. At Least One Brand

• Every campaign belongs to a Brand inside Ctrl+A. A default brand is created during onboarding using your company information. You can later add more brands for different locations or product lines.

3. Connected Facebook Page and Instagram Account

• To publish ads on Meta platforms, you must connect at least one Facebook Page and the Instagram Account linked to that Page.
• You don’t need to share your Ad Account — Ctrl+A can run your campaigns using its managed ad accounts if needed.
• Connections are made securely using Meta’s authentication flow.

4. Valid Payment Method

A credit card, SEPA, or PayPal account is required to pay for your subscription and media budget. You can set up auto top-ups to prevent campaigns from stopping due to low balance.

Recommended Setup

• Have your logo and a few good-quality images on your website — Ctrl+A uses them for ad visuals.
• Make sure your business details (address, phone, opening hours) are visible online — this helps the AI create accurate ad content.
• Choose the channels you want to advertise on: Google, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, or all of them.

Summary

You can start using Ctrl+A with just your website, one brand, and a connected payment method. From there, Ctrl+A’s AI takes care of campaign creation, optimization, and multi-channel delivery — so you can focus on running your business.
