Managed Meta Ads with a One-Time Budget Credit: How Business Growth Works

Agencies charge a management retainer before you know whether ads work. Managed Meta ads are included with your paid plan, plus a limited-time one-time $100–$250 Meta ad budget credit after the first payment.

Managed Meta Ads with a One-Time Budget Credit: How Business Growth Works
Quick answer

With MAZ Assist Business Growth, the selected $450, $560 or $860 monthly package is charged at checkout and renews monthly. Meta ads management is included up to the plan's monthly ad spend limit. A limited-time, one-time $100–$250 ad budget contribution follows the first successful payment; beyond it, you pay Meta directly.

The usual way to start Facebook and Instagram ads is expensive twice over: you pay an agency retainer of $500–$2,000 a month, and you pay the ad budget on top — before anyone knows whether paid traffic converts for your business.

Flipping the risk

Your Business Growth package starts with a payment of $450, $560 or $860 at checkout. A limited-time one-time Meta ad budget credit is coordinated after that first successful payment. Beyond that contribution, your ad spend is paid directly to Meta from your own account. Ads management remains included in that package price.

What "managed" actually includes

  • Campaign structure and setup on your own Meta ads account.
  • Location targeting down to country, state and city.
  • Audience targeting by interest, behaviour, age and language.
  • Scheduling and publishing of the creatives you supply.
  • Weekly optimisation — budget shifts, audience and placement tuning.
  • A monthly performance review you can actually read.

Your ad account stays yours

Your ad spend stays in your own Meta ads account. After your first successful plan payment, our team coordinates a one-time contribution of $100 on Basic, $150 on Pro or $250 on Gold for a limited time. To fund the account, we need Meta Ad Account Admin or Finance Editor access, or your account Admin can accept our shared payment source. You pay Meta directly for spending beyond that contribution; you can pause ads and retain the account if you leave.

Get ready before the first campaign

  1. Facebook business page with editor access granted to us.
  2. Meta ads account with advertise access and a funded budget.
  3. 2–5 square (1:1) creatives or posters.
  4. Target countries and cities.
  5. A short description of your ideal customer.

The Business Growth package is charged at checkout at $450, $560 or $860 per month and renews monthly. A limited-time one-time Meta ad budget credit follows the first payment.

Frequently asked questions

Is the ad budget included?
Ad spend is separate. For a limited time MAZ contributes $100 on Basic, $150 on Pro or $250 on Gold once after the first successful plan payment. Beyond that one-time contribution, you pay Meta directly from your own account. Ads management is included up to your plan's monthly ad spend limit; 20% of only the excess applies above it.
When does my Business Growth payment start?
Your selected complete package is charged at checkout at $450, $560 or $860 per month and renews monthly unless cancelled.
What access do you need?
Editor access to your Facebook business page and advertise access on your Meta ads account. You stay the owner of both.
