Free Meta Ads Management for 3 Months: How Businesses Grow Without Taking the Risk

Agencies charge a management retainer before you know whether ads work. Free managed Meta ads for your first three months flips the risk — you only pay for ad spend while results are proven.

Free Meta Ads Management for 3 Months: How Businesses Grow Without Taking the Risk
Quick answer

With the MAZ Assist Growth Bundle, Meta ads setup and management is free for the first 3 months and $250/month afterwards. You pay only your own ad spend directly to Meta during that period, so you can test whether paid traffic works for your business before committing to a management fee.

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

Free managed ads for the first three months means the only money at risk is your own ad budget, paid directly to Meta from your own account. No management fee until you have three months of real data in front of you.

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.

Why we never touch your budget

Your ad spend stays in your own Meta ads account, paid directly to Meta. You see every dollar, you can pause any time, and the ad account remains yours if you ever 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.

Managed Meta ads are included in every Growth Bundle plan — free for three months, then $250/month.
