Get started with Bytown
Create your account, let Bytown read your website, connect an ad account, then ask your first question in plain English. Setup takes about 5 minutes.
Bytown runs your Google, Meta, LinkedIn, Microsoft and ChatGPT ads from one chat. You describe what you want, Bytown does the work, and nothing changes in an ad account until you approve it.
You stay in charge. Every campaign, budget and pause waits for your approval. On Pro and Max nobody at Bytown reviews your campaigns, so your approval is the only gate.
Want a person in the loop? Bytown Advisors adds a marketing expert to Pro or Max. Done for you has our team build and run everything.
Set up your account
Create your account
Go to ads.bytown.co/register and sign up with your email or your Google account.
Scan your website
Enter your website and choose Analyze my business. Bytown reads your site, builds a business profile and finds your social profiles. Check the result, then choose Looks good, continue. If the scan can't read your site, choose Retry analysis, or Skip for now and add the details later.
Pick your first campaigns
Bytown drafts campaign ideas from your profile, with your best fit already selected. Shortlist the ones you want and continue, or skip this step and build campaigns in Chat later. Nothing goes live here.
Connect your ad accounts
Choose Connect for Google Ads, Meta Ads, LinkedIn Ads, Microsoft Ads or ChatGPT Ads, or choose Skip for now and do it later under Connections. Step-by-step help is in Connect your ad accounts.
Choose a plan
When Bytown asks you to choose a plan for your business, pick Pro or Max. Plans are bought per business, and checkout happens on Stripe. New customers get 30% off the first month. See Plans and billing.
Ask your first question
Open Chat and ask something about your ads. Good first questions are below. Home lists anything left to set up.
Want a quick orientation? The 4-step product tour shows the things you'll do most: Connect your ad accounts, Ask Bytown anything, See every campaign in one view and Train Bytown on your business. Open it any time from the user menu.
Your first 3 questions
Start with questions that read your data. Nothing changes until you approve a change, so you can explore freely.
Audit my Google Ads account and tell me the 3 biggest problems. Summarize last week's performance across all my ad accounts. Which campaigns spent money with zero conversions this month?
When Bytown suggests a fix, it shows you the exact change first. Read Approvals and changes to see how that works.
Finish setup from Home
Home keeps a short setup guide with whatever is left to do, each step with a video under a minute long. One step sets your goals and budget: tick what you want from your ads, such as more leads or more sales, then pick a monthly budget.
All the setup videos are in one Bytown setup guide playlist on YouTube.
Keep your business profile current
Bytown writes better campaigns when it knows your business. Open the business switcher and choose Manage to edit 4 fields:
- Business name and Website
- Industry, for example "Home services" or "Retail"
- Description: what you do and who your customers are
Changed your offer or your site? Choose Re-run this analysis so Bytown reads it again. The research it produces is read-only, so update the 4 fields above to correct it.

Common questions
Do I need to know how to run ads?
No. You describe your goal in plain English and Bytown drafts the keywords, copy, audiences and budget. You review the exact change before anything goes live. If you want to learn as you go, Bytown Advisors pairs you with a marketing expert for 2 hours of coaching a month.
Can I try Bytown before I connect my real accounts?
Yes. The demo app lets you click through a sample account with campaigns, reports and connections, no signup needed. When you're ready, sign up and Bytown reads your website and drafts campaign ideas before you choose a plan, so you see real recommendations on day one.
Does Bytown take over my ad accounts?
No. Your ad accounts stay yours, with their history, billing and settings. Bytown connects with the access you grant and can be disconnected at any time from Connections. Every change it proposes waits for your approval, so your account never moves without you saying yes.
