Paid Ads

Paid Advertising (Meta & Google)

Ads do not find product-market fit — they amplify what already sells. Used after your store and organic channels work, they give instant, scalable, controllable volume.

Best for: Sellers who have already made 20-50 organic sales and know which products convert, ready to scale with ₹300-5,000/day.

Read the numbers and scale or kill

06
Set up retargeting
Ads for store visitors who did not buy — convert 3-5x better than cold ads.
Pidi can do this — ask on WhatsApp
Do not run ads until you have 20+ organic sales and a page that converts.
Start at ₹300-500/day. Test 7 days before judging — scaling too fast burns budget.
Click-to-WhatsApp ads convert 61% better than website-only ads in India.
Kill any ad not profitable after ₹2,000-3,000 spent. No emotional attachment.
Always test 3 creatives at once — the winner is never the one you expect.
How much should I spend on ads to start?
₹300-500 per day is enough to learn. That is ₹9,000-15,000 per month. Do not spend more until you find a profitable ad. One profitable ad at ₹300/day beats a big budget spread across guesses.
Should I use Meta (Facebook/Instagram) ads or Google ads?
Start with Meta — specifically Click-to-WhatsApp or Instagram traffic ads. Meta is better for visual product discovery. Move to Google Search ads later when people are actively searching for your product category.
My ad is not getting clicks. What should I change?
Almost always the creative (image or video). Try a new photo, a different headline, or switch from image to video. If clicks are fine but nobody buys, the problem is your product page, not the ad.
When should I start running ads?
After you have: (1) 20+ organic sales, (2) a product page that converts, (3) reviews and social proof, and (4) smooth checkout. For most sellers, this is month 2-3 at the earliest.
