Important Notes
Billing is on your ad platform. AI Wave creates and manages campaigns, but all ad spend is billed directly through your Google Ads or Meta Ads account. AI Wave does not process ad payments.
You keep full access. AI Wave works alongside your existing access. You can always view and manage campaigns directly in Google Ads or Meta Ads Manager.
Troubleshooting
| Issue | Solution |
|---|
| ”No ad accounts found” | Ensure you have admin access in your Business Manager |
| ”Billing not set up” | Add a payment method in your ad platform first |
| Campaign not delivering | Check platform-specific ad review status and policies |
| Budget not applying | Verify the campaign budget settings in the Ads Console |
