How does Ad Intent work?

Ad Intent is a managed advertising platform for Shopify stores. You pick a plan, and Ad Intent creates display ad campaigns using AI, targets the right audience through premium ad networks like Taboola, AppLovin, and The Trade Desk, and optimizes performance over time. Ad spend is included in every plan.

What do Ad Intent ads look like?

Ad Intent creates display ads that appear as sponsored content on websites and apps. Each ad features a product image from your store, an AI-generated headline, and a link to your Shopify store. They look similar to the product recommendations you see on news sites and blogs.

How does Ad Intent target customers for my store?

Ad Intent uses Auto Targeting by default, which analyzes your website to identify the most relevant keywords, interests, demographics, and geographic information for your products. You can also provide custom targeting keywords to override the automatic settings.

How long until I see results with Ad Intent?

The first 30 days is a learning phase where the ad engine tests your products with different audiences. Performance improves in months two and three, with most stores on Standard+ and Pro plans reporting sales growth by their third month.

Where do Ad Intent ads appear?

Ad Intent partners with major ad networks including Taboola, AppLovin (Axon), and The Trade Desk. Your display ads appear across thousands of websites and apps worldwide through these premium advertising networks.

How It Works

From Sign-Up to Sales in 5 Simple Steps

No ad experience needed. Here's exactly what happens when you start advertising your Shopify store with Ad Intent.

Pick a Plan

Choose a plan that fits your budget and goals. Every plan includes your ad spend (the money used to actually run your ads), campaign setup, AI-designed ad creatives, and reporting inside your Shopify dashboard. There are no hidden fees. What you see is what you pay.

Once you've selected a plan, our team gets to work building your campaign. This usually takes 24 to 48 hours.

We Create Your Ads

Our system analyzes your store and products, then automatically designs display ads tailored to what you sell. These are the visual ads that appear on websites and apps across the internet, similar to the product recommendations you see on news sites and blogs.

We use AI to write compelling headlines and select the best images from your product catalog, so your ads are ready to go without any design work on your end.

Here's what your ads might look like:

Your product image

Your Ads Reach the Right People

This is where our advertising network does the heavy lifting. We partner with major ad platforms like Taboola, AppLovin, and The Trade Desk to show your ads to people who are most likely to be interested in your products.

By default, our system uses Auto Targeting, which scans your website and automatically figures out the best keywords, interests, and demographics to target. It also selects the right countries based on where your customers are. You don't need to configure anything.

If you prefer, you can also provide your own targeting keywords to override the automatic settings.

Good to know

Your ads appear on thousands of websites and apps through our network of advertising partners, the same networks used by major brands worldwide.

The Learning Phase (First 30 Days)

During the first month, our ad engine is learning what works best for your store. It tests your products with different audiences, placements, and keywords to find the combinations that drive the most clicks and sales.

Results during this period may be slower than expected. That's completely normal. Think of it like training a new employee: they need time to learn the ropes before they hit their stride.

Tip

Try not to make changes to your campaign during the first 30 days. Changing your targeting or landing page restarts the learning phase, which means the system has to start figuring things out all over again.

Sales Growth Kicks In

After the learning phase, your campaigns get smarter. The system now knows which audiences respond best to your products and automatically focuses your budget there.

Most stores on our Standard+ and Pro plans start seeing noticeable sales growth by their third month. By month six, the majority of stores enjoy steady, consistent monthly revenue from their Ad Intent campaigns.

You can track everything directly in your Shopify Analytics. No need to log into a separate dashboard.
