How much should I spend on ads to start?

Start with a budget you can afford to learn with for at least 2–4 weeks. Many small Indian businesses begin with ₹300–₹1,000 per day. Our budget calculator helps you work backwards from your lead goal.

Should I hire an agency or run ads myself?

Learning the basics yourself helps either way. Even if you hire someone later, you'll know what good reporting looks like.

What is a good ROAS?

It depends on your margins. Use the break-even ROAS calculator in our free tools to find the minimum you need to be profitable.
