Promoto FAQ

Straight answers about AI-managed ad campaigns, billing, ad spend, and account setup.

No prior ad experience is needed. You describe your goal to your AI agent in plain language, and it uses Promoto to inspect evidence, draft campaigns, and carry out explicit changes. Promoto handles the ad-account connections, tracking checks, reporting, and hard safety limits.

Choose a plan on the homepage and check out. Then sign in, open the Agent page to create an agent key, and paste the ready-made connection prompt into your AI agent. Your ad accounts and ad spend stay under your control throughout.

Promoto charges a flat monthly plan fee: $49 for Agentic $1K, $99 for Agentic $2.5K, or $249 for Agentic Unlimited, with no setup fee. Your ad spend is billed directly by each ad network, such as Google or Meta, using the payment method you keep with that network. Promoto does not hold or mark up your ad budget.

Yes. promoto.io/proof publishes dated portfolio results, including campaigns that did not work out and where measurement is limited -- we do not cherry-pick. If you want to see what a recommendation actually looks like, promoto.io/sample-campaign-plan walks through an illustrative plan, including a clear case for holding when the numbers do not support spending.

Promoto is built for owner-led businesses that use, or want to use, an AI agent to run their advertising, with a clear offer and a measurable sale or lead. It suits owners who want the agent to do the work while they keep their own ad accounts, hard spend limits, and a clear record of every decision. Plans cover monthly ad spend from up to $1,000 through unlimited.

Sign in and open the Agent page at promoto.io/agent, then create an agent key and copy the ready-made connection prompt into your agent. The full key is shown only once, so keep it in your private agent conversation. You can revoke a key at any time from the same page.

Your agent can read campaign evidence, including status, budget, hard limits, daily and ad-level results, first-party conversions, and Meta comments. It can pause, resume, or change the budget of a Promoto campaign; each action shows a preview first and only applies once confirmed. Every change is recorded in the campaign history, and comment replies or hiding are not available to agents today.

The connection prompt asks your agent to check live campaign evidence and Meta comments about every six hours where it can run scheduled work, and at least once a day otherwise. It should give you a short daily check-in and a weekly review, and tell you right away about a pause, an error, broken tracking, unusual spend, or a risk to your spend cap or end date. Promoto's Pause button stays available to you at any time.

Use the Set up Promoto link in your brand's Paid ads row on BusinessMarketing.Pro. It brings your website across to Promoto so you do not have to retype it during sign-up and product setup. The two sites keep separate logins.

Google Ads and Meta (Facebook and Instagram) are Promoto's core networks. LinkedIn, Microsoft Advertising, and Reddit Ads can also be connected but are currently private beta with limited availability, and ChatGPT Ads is in early access for metrics. Each network has its own minimum daily budget -- LinkedIn requires at least $10 per day, Reddit requires $5 per day, and the others require $1 per day.

Yes. The Promoto homepage includes a free keyword-ideas tool. Enter a topic or paste a website URL to see estimated monthly search volumes for related terms. Visitors can run a few lookups without creating an account, and signed-in users on paid plans can run significantly more searches per day.

LinkedIn Ads is currently private beta with limited availability. Where available, Promoto drafts LinkedIn campaigns with B2B audience targeting by job title, industry, company size, and seniority level, with a $10/day minimum budget. Contact us to check current availability for your account.

Reddit Ads is currently private beta with limited availability. Where available, Reddit's most powerful targeting option is community (subreddit) selection -- Promoto suggests 6 to 12 active subreddits where your target audience is genuinely present, which typically outperforms interest-only targeting on other networks. Reddit requires a minimum daily budget of $5 and is a good fit for developer tools, indie products, niche services, and anything with a strong community following.

Promoto offers three monthly plans with direct checkout: Agentic $1K ($49/month) for up to $1,000/month in ad spend with one product and one active campaign, Agentic $2.5K ($99/month) for up to $2,500/month with up to three products and five active campaigns, and Agentic Unlimited ($249/month) with no ad-spend ceiling. There is no setup fee. A free tier remains for keyword research, tracking checks, and one campaign preview, but launching to live networks requires a paid plan.

Microsoft Advertising is currently private beta with limited availability. Where available, you can connect your account from the Connections page to reach searchers on Bing, Yahoo, and DuckDuckGo, with the same draft, review, and launch workflow as Google Ads and a $1/day minimum budget. Contact us to check current availability for your account.

Yes. You can cancel from your account settings. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current paid billing period, and no further Promoto subscription charges are made after that.

Yes. Upgrades take effect immediately, and you are only charged the prorated difference for the rest of your current billing period. Downgrades take effect at the end of the current period, so you keep your higher plan's limits until then.

When you cancel, your plan stays active through the end of your current billing period. After that, your account reverts to the free tier — your campaign history and connected ad account links remain visible, but launching new campaigns requires an active paid plan. Any campaigns already live in your ad accounts continue running normally; Promoto does not pause or delete them on your behalf.

Promoto is an Agentic Website for advertising. Your AI agent plans, launches, measures, and improves campaigns through Promoto, while Promoto connects your ad accounts, records the evidence, and keeps hard limits and a pause button in your hands. You keep your own ad accounts and can review campaign drafts before they launch.

Promoto includes an AI Advisor tool that evaluates your landing page and product description, then ranks Google, Meta, LinkedIn, and Microsoft Ads by fit for your specific offer. Each network receives a score, a verdict, and a suggested starting budget so you can make an informed decision before spending anything.

Yes. You should use your own ad accounts for the networks you want to advertise on. That keeps billing, ownership, approvals, and account history under your control.

Yes, on Agentic $2.5K (up to three products) or Agentic Unlimited (multiple products). Each product gets its own onboarding profile, targeting guardrails, and campaigns. Agentic $1K is designed for a single product.

Yes. Promoto scans your website for GA4, Google Ads tags, Meta Pixel, LinkedIn Insight, and Reddit Pixel and shows you which are detected and which are missing. If a tag is absent, the tool provides installation guidance so tracking is in place before your campaigns go live.

Yes. Promoto automatically audits your campaign destination URL before launch, scoring it from 0 to 100 on factors like page speed, headline clarity, call-to-action visibility, trust signals, and mobile compatibility. If the score is below 60, specific issues are flagged so you can fix them before spending money on clicks. You can re-run the audit at any time from the campaign detail page.

Yes. Each campaign has a downloadable plain-text version of its landing page audit — open the campaign, then use the "Download audit" link to get a file you can forward to a developer or paste into any tool. The file includes the score, every flagged issue, and the technical signals Promoto detected.

Yes. From the Tracking page, generate a private API key and send purchase, signup, lead, or registration events directly from your server or checkout system. These first-party conversions feed Promoto's attribution and reporting, and the campaign evidence your agent reads, which helps when browser pixels miss events. Your key is shown once at creation, and you can revoke it anytime without losing previously recorded events.

No ad platform can honestly guarantee specific results. Promoto gives you and your agent the evidence, tracking, and controls to run campaigns carefully, but performance depends on your offer, budget, market, creative, landing page, tracking quality, and ad network review decisions.

Yes. Campaign pages show first-party revenue and sign-ups by the country the person was actually in when they registered, rather than the country the ad network attributed the click to. This recording started September 5, 2026, so earlier sign-ups are grouped under "Unknown" rather than guessed at.

Yes. Promoto is designed around reviewable campaign drafts and guardrails so you can inspect what is being prepared before live ad spend is committed.

Yes. Every AI-drafted ad is automatically screened for the most common reasons networks reject ads — like unproven superlative claims ("#1", "best") and copy that references a different product or brand. Findings appear as warnings right on the campaign draft so you can fix them before launch. If a custom ad idea you generate comes back clearly off-brand, Promoto blocks it automatically until you rephrase.

Yes. When drafting a campaign you can set an optional end date. Promoto will automatically pause the campaign when that date arrives, so your budget stops exactly when you plan. You can also pause or stop any campaign manually from the dashboard at any time.

Yes. When drafting a Meta campaign, Promoto presents a theme picker with options like curiosity gap, pain empathy, social proof, transformation story, and more. Each theme you select generates a separate ad variant written to that angle and paired with a matching image. Meta automatically concentrates spend on whichever variant performs best, so picking a range of themes up front is a good way to discover what resonates with your audience.

Yes. When you draft a Meta campaign, Promoto automatically generates a matching ad image for each creative variant based on your chosen theme and product description. You can review all images in the campaign draft before approving, and regenerate any image if you want a different look. Images are produced using AI image generation and are included in the draft at no extra cost.

Not anymore. Promoto's automatic negative-keyword rules have been retired, so your agent reviews search-term evidence and makes any keyword changes explicitly. The Keyword action history page still shows past changes and lets you undo them where Google allows.

Yes. Promoto collects comments from Meta ad posts for live, paused, and archived campaigns, because those posts can stay public after a campaign stops. Each comment is tagged as a question, positive, neutral, negative, hostile, anti-AI, author promotion, or spam, and the campaign Comments tab lets you filter by tag and mark comments handled. Your agent can read them too and recommend replies, but Promoto does not reply to or hide comments automatically.

Yes. Live or paused Meta campaigns have an Edit live targeting panel where you can adjust age range, gender, devices, countries, and placements, with a confirmation before the change reaches the live ad set. Because a targeting change may restart the network's learning phase, give the campaign time to gather fresh results before you or your agent judge the change.

Yes. From the campaign page you can add a second ad set that runs the same ads in the same placements, changed in one way only: who sees them. It is created paused, so nothing spends until you review it and switch it on — your original ad set keeps running untouched the whole time.

No. Resuming a Meta campaign switches the campaign back on but leaves each ad's own status as it was, so variants that were retired or paused individually stay off. If a campaign was paused before this safeguard existed, Promoto restores only the ads that were running before the pause.

No. Automatic creative rotation has been retired. Promoto keeps ad-level performance for every variant so your agent, or you, can decide which ads to keep, pause, or replace, and every explicit change is recorded in the campaign history.

Ad networks make their own approval decisions, and Promoto cannot override them. Promoto screens every drafted ad for common rejection reasons before launch, and if a network still rejects one, you or your agent can see the reason in your ad account and decide what to change. Any revised copy or targeting is reviewed before it runs.

Yes, for live paid-plan campaigns. Promoto sends a plain-English daily summary of spend, link clicks, conversions, impressions, and recent trends. Each campaign also gets a short status line showing its total spend so far, purchases, any hard spending stop, and its scheduled end date, or why it was paused.

No. Promoto now runs in agent-led mode: the nightly optimizer, automatic budget changes, bid tuning, and automatic keyword rules are retired. Your AI agent reads the campaign evidence and makes explicit changes, and Promoto records each one. Promoto still enforces your approved end dates, hard spend caps, and pause controls.

For sales campaigns, Promoto values each subscription sign-up at its expected lifetime worth rather than just the first payment: monthly plans default to 12x the first charge, and one-time orders count at face value. This value appears in the campaign's profitability evidence that you and your agent use to judge performance. You can fine-tune the multiplier on the campaign detail page, and dashboard revenue charts always show actual cash collected.

Promoto no longer pauses or resizes campaigns automatically based on performance. Your agent can pause, resume, or change a budget through Promoto, and you can pause or resume from the campaign page at any time. Approved end dates and hard spend caps are still enforced automatically.

Yes. Campaign pages for sales-based products show an "Is it making money?" readout that compares buyers grouped by equal time since their first paid click, and nets out card-processing fees, refunds, and any per-sale fulfilment cost. It is evidence only and never changes your budget by itself.

If a subscription payment fails, Promoto retries billing and gives you a 7-day grace period during which your plan keeps working normally. If payment still hasn't succeeded after the grace period, your account reverts to the Free plan — your campaign history and connections stay intact, but launching new campaigns requires an active paid plan. After 30 days without a successful payment, associated data is deactivated.

Yes, for lead-generation campaigns run through Meta Lead Ads, Promoto captures and stores the submitted leads so you can view, filter, and export them from the Leads dashboard. You can also configure automatic forwarding: set a forwarding URL and a shared secret on any campaign, and Promoto will POST each new lead to your endpoint in real time. Forwarding status (delivered, failed, or pending) is shown in the leads view.

Once your campaign has enough data, Promoto benchmarks your cost-per-lead, cost-per-sale, and click-through rate against published industry averages for your category (sourced from annual ad-industry reports). The comparison appears as a note on each campaign card in your dashboard — for example, "18% below average CPL" or "CTR 23% above average" — so you can quickly see whether your results are strong, typical, or worth investigating. These numbers are a reference point, not a guarantee.

Yes. Promoto operates in its own campaign set within your linked ad accounts and does not modify, pause, or touch any campaigns you created outside of Promoto. Your existing campaigns continue to run exactly as before, and agent actions through Promoto apply only to campaigns launched through Promoto.

Yes. Promoto's free learning library at /learn includes step-by-step how-to articles on Google Ads, Meta advertising, LinkedIn campaigns, keyword research, and optimization best practices. The articles are available without an account — browse by topic or use the search to find setup guides and tips relevant to your situation.

Yes. Use the "Your First $5/Day Ad Campaign" pop-up on the site to have a free step-by-step guide emailed to you. It walks through launching a first paid campaign on Google, Meta, or LinkedIn without wasting budget, and includes a link to set up your free Promoto account.

Yes. Signed-in users can submit a review at promoto.io/review — just log in and share your experience in a few sentences. Once approved, your review appears publicly on the reviews page where prospective customers can read about real results.

Yes. Each Google campaign has a Keywords tab where you can view active keywords, adjust bids, change match types, pause or enable keywords, add new ones, and remove ones you don't want. Changes take effect in your Google Ads account within a few minutes. No nightly optimizer overrides your edits.

Yes. On any campaign page, use "Turn this image into a video" for a one-click looping video ad — no need to open the full Video Ad Studio. It costs 1 video credit, renders in a couple of minutes, and is added automatically alongside your image ad if the campaign is live. Not happy with it? Use "Revert to image" on that variant to go back at any time.

Yes. The Video Ad Studio lets you generate AI video ads directly from any campaign. Choose from three formats: a Motion Poster that animates your existing campaign image, a Cinematic Scene with AI-generated outcome footage and captions, or an AI Spokesperson that delivers your script on camera. Promoto renders the video in the background (usually a couple of minutes), then you preview and approve before anything goes live.

Each plan includes monthly video credits: Free (1), Agentic $1K (8), Agentic $2.5K (30), and Agentic Unlimited (100). A Motion Poster costs 1 credit, an AI Spokesperson 2 credits, and a Cinematic Scene 4 credits. Credits refresh at the start of each billing month, and a rendered video needs an active paid plan to go live as an ad.

Yes. On a Google Search campaign, use the Keywords tab to set a campaign-wide CPC cap; current keyword bids above the cap are lowered while bids already below it stay unchanged. With Maximize Clicks enabled, the same value becomes Google's per-auction CPC ceiling.

No. Video credits refresh to your plan's monthly allotment at the start of each billing cycle, and unused credits from the prior month are replaced. The allotments are Free (1), Agentic $1K (8), Agentic $2.5K (30), and Agentic Unlimited (100), so it is worth planning your video ads before the month ends.

Most businesses qualify, but every product is screened against ad-network policy when you onboard, and periodically re-checked afterward in case your offering changes. A small set of categories is rejected outright, including prescription or compounded medications sold direct-to-consumer (such as GLP-1 drugs), peptides/SARMs/steroids marketed for human use, recreational drugs, weapons, counterfeit goods, adult content, and predatory finance or MLM schemes. Regulated categories such as pharmacy/telehealth, weight-loss products, supplements, CBD, alcohol, gambling, financial services, healthcare, political advertising, and dating services are accepted case-by-case after human review and, where required, proof of certification. If your product is flagged and you believe it's a mistake, contact support and a human will take a look.

Yes. For live Meta campaigns, the "Audience & placement decisions" panel on the campaign page breaks down performance by age, gender, device, and placement, and recommends an exclusion only when a segment is reliably underperforming. Nothing is excluded automatically -- you or your agent apply any change through the Edit live targeting panel, with a confirmation before it reaches Meta.

Yes, in early access. From the Connections page, paste the API key from ads.openai.com -> Settings -> API keys to link your account -- this is different from your regular OpenAI platform key. Linking now lets Promoto start pulling performance metrics; drafting and launching new ChatGPT Ads campaigns through Promoto's guided flow is coming soon.

Promoto checks your plan's product, ad-network, active-campaign, and monthly-spend limits at the moment you launch. If a launch would exceed one, you'll see a plain-English message explaining which limit was hit — pause or archive an existing campaign, or upgrade your plan, to proceed. This check only affects new launches; campaigns already live are never paused or altered because of it.

A free account can draft one campaign to see the AI-built plan for itself, including targeting and ad creative. Drafting more campaigns and launching to a live ad network require a paid plan, within that plan's limits.

Yes -- click the chat bubble in the corner of any page to talk with Riley, our AI assistant. She can answer questions about your account, plans, and campaigns, and will loop in our team if something needs a human.

Yes, on a small scale. If you run an independent web or branding studio, promoto.io/partners explains how to refer a suitable client. You keep your design engagement, the client keeps ownership of their own ad account, data, and billing, and referral credit runs through the existing Archieboy Affiliate Program under its standard terms.
