Ads Manager allows you to create and launch customized Facebook ad campaigns directly from your PSAI admin dashboard. This article provides a high-level overview of Ads Manager and how this tool can help your team generate high-quality leads—which you can then nurture and convert directly through the Com Portal.
You'll access Ads Manager by logging into PSAI and clicking "Manage" in the left-hand toolbar.
How Does Ads Manager Work?
Guiding you through each step, Ads Manager makes it easy to design and launch Facebook ad campaigns through your PSAI portal. You'll be able to create, edit, and launch your ad on Facebook without ever leaving PSAI.
The Ads Manager dashboard looks like this.
Here are the basic steps to the process:
- Create a new Facebook ad in one of several ways: by choosing an AI Recommended ad, by duplicating an existing ad, or by creating a new ad.
- Edit your ad's offer, design, text, imagery/video, and Facebook lead capture form.
- Set your ad's launch parameters, including audience location, size, run time, and budget.
- Launch your ad and watch leads flow from Facebook straight into your Com Portal. (Or save the ad as a draft to edit and post later!)

What Kind of Ads Can I Run?
All of the ads created in Ads Manager will run on Facebook, but you get to choose exactly what you want to showcase for each ad. For example, you could advertise a new product line, offer special financing, promote a limited-time discount, and more. You can also choose between image-based and video-based content.
Here's an example of a project-based ad for roofing.

Why Should I Use Ads Manager?
If you have any familiarity with Facebook ads, then you might be wondering why you'd want to use PSAI Ads Manager rather than try to create your ad directly in Facebook. Here's just a few reasons why Ads Manager can be a much more streamlined and effective strategy for your business.
AI-Recommended Ads
If you're in a hurry to get your ad launched and don't have time to create something from scratch, you can choose one of PSAI's AI Recommended ads and be ready to launch in seconds.
Quick Templates
Even if you choose to design your own ad, you can take advantage of ready-made templates as well as guided design sequences to speed up the process from idea to campaign launch. You can populate your ads automatically from our high-quality image bank if you don't have your own photos!
The following are just a few examples of the many quick-start ad templates you can use.
Easy Duplication
All of your previous ads (as well as your unpublished drafts and scheduled ads) will be saved within Ads Manager under a section called "Your Team Ads."
As you can see in the screenshot below, you can duplicate an ad and relaunch it with just a few clicks.
Custom Forms
Our ad design panels let you easily customize your lead capture form, choosing from text boxes, drop-down menus, appointment calendars, and more. The form that you customize here will appear directly in your Facebook ad for users to fill out.

Seamless Lead Tracking and Communication
One of the best reasons to use Ads Manager is the built-in lead tracking and nurturing capabilities.
All leads that flow in through your Facebook ads will automatically enter your PSAI Com Portal and be ready for seamless follow-up through SMS, email, and more.
As you can see in the screenshot above, all leads will be labeled in the Com Portal with the name of your ad campaign. You can immediately follow up with these leads to nurture them toward the next step with your company.
