Welcome Aboard

Let's get your account up and running.

This is your onboarding hub, laid out in the order things actually happen: grant access first, then see how a lead flows in, gets worked, quoted, and paid. Watch them in order, follow the checklists, and you'll be fully set up.

1Meta Access

Granting Business Manager access.

Step-by-step instructions for adding ZScaledIt as a partner on your Meta Business Manager so we can build, launch, and manage your Facebook & Instagram campaigns.

  • How to add ZScaledIt as a partner on your Business Manager
  • Exactly which permission level to grant
  • How to confirm the access request went through
Why it matters: we can't launch or fix anything on your Meta ad account without this access in place — it's the first step before anything else can happen.
2Google Access

Granting Google Ads access.

The same process for Google Ads — adding ZScaledIt as a manager on your account so we can run and optimize your search campaigns.

  • How to add ZScaledIt as a manager on your Google Ads account
  • Which permission level to set
  • How to confirm the access request went through
Why it matters: same as Meta — no access means no ability to build or manage campaigns on your behalf.
3Pipeline Overview

Reading your pipeline & opportunities.

Once your accounts are connected and ads are live, this is where leads actually land. A tour of your pipeline view — where every contact and opportunity lives, what each stage means, and how to spot where a lead is stuck.

  • How to read pipeline stages at a glance
  • How to find a specific contact or opportunity fast
  • How to tell when a lead has stalled and needs a nudge
Why it matters: your pipeline is the live, real-time status of every lead — no guessing where things stand.
How We Follow Up

Follow-up SOP — the non-negotiables.

This is how every lead in your pipeline gets worked, from first contact to paid invoice. Automation keeps things moving — but a few steps always need a real phone call.

What's a "Double Dial"?

One call that rings once and gets ignored is a wasted attempt — most phones silence unknown numbers automatically. The fix:

  1. Call once, let it ring, hang up. Don't leave a voicemail yet.
  2. Call right back within a minute, same number. Phones let a second call from a number that just called ring through — that's the one that actually connects.
  3. Still no answer? Now leave a short voicemail and send a follow-up text.

Every "call attempt" below means a Double Dial, not a single ring-and-hope.

📞

Day 1: Two Double Dials, Two Times

Run a Double Dial the same day the lead comes in. No answer? Don't wait until tomorrow — run a second Double Dial later that day, at a different time. If either connects, stop and go straight to the quote.

📝

Quote Goes Out Same Day

Once you've got them on the phone, quote the job on the call if you can. Don't make them wait on a follow-up number.

💳

Late Payment Gets a Call

If a deposit isn't in by the date you agreed on, you call them — don't let an automated text be the only thing chasing the money.

Approval in Writing

A verbal "yeah that's fine" isn't approval. Get it in writing — text, email, or a signed form — before work starts.

🔒

Payment Before Delivery

The remaining balance is due before the customer takes the finished work. No exceptions, no "I'll pay you next week."

Review Request Within 3 Days

Ask while the experience is still fresh — that's when a review request actually gets a response.

4Lead Contacting

How to actually contact a lead.

A walkthrough of working a lead the right way — putting the Follow-Up SOP and Double Dial method into practice on a real call, so you can see exactly how it's supposed to look.

  • How to run a Double Dial in practice, not just in theory
  • What to say in the first 30 seconds of the call
  • How to move a contacted lead into the right pipeline stage
Why it matters: the automation gets the lead to you fast — how you handle the call is what actually turns it into a booked job.
5Estimates & Invoices

Estimates & invoices, automated.

Once a lead is contacted and quoted, this is what happens behind the scenes — how the estimate gets sent, and how the invoice goes out the moment a job is marked complete. No manual paperwork on your end.

  • How a contacted lead triggers an automatic follow-up
  • How estimates get generated and sent without you typing them up
  • How invoices fire automatically when a job is marked done
Why it matters: faster estimates mean faster bookings. No lead sits waiting on you to do paperwork.
6CRM & Payments

Integrating your CRM & payment apps.

The last link in the chain — how your CRM connects to your payment processor so payments sync straight to your pipeline automatically once the invoice goes out. No double entry, no chasing down whether a job got paid.

  • Connecting your CRM to your payment processor
  • How a payment automatically updates a contact's status
  • What to check first if a payment doesn't show up
Why it matters: one connected system means your books and your pipeline always agree.
Working Together

What to expect going forward.

Here's exactly how we communicate, report, and make decisions on your account — so there are no surprises.

⏱️

Response Times

Expect a response within 24 business hours (Mon–Fri) for general questions. Anything urgent — a paused account, a disabled ad — gets same-day priority.

📊

Reporting Cadence

You'll get a performance update every week covering spend, cost per lead, and ROAS. Your pipeline and CRM are visible to you anytime — no need to wait on a report to see what's happening.

The 72-Hour Rule

After any change to your campaigns — new creative, a budget shift, a new audience — we let it run a minimum of 72 hours before judging it. The algorithm needs time to learn; reacting too early leads to bad decisions.

📈

How We Scale

Once a campaign holds target ROAS and CTR for 7+ straight days, we scale budget in small steps — 15–20% at a time. Never a big jump that resets performance and spikes your cost per lead.

🎨

Creative Refresh

Expect new ad creative regularly, not just when something is underperforming. Rising costs per click usually mean the algorithm needs more variety, not a different audience.

🤝

What We Need From You

Fast turnaround on access requests, honest feedback on lead quality, and a heads-up on anything that changes your business — pricing, new services, a slow season.

Need Something?

Get in touch

If a video doesn't cover your exact situation, or an access request isn't going through, just reach out — don't sit stuck on it.

✉️

I can't find where to grant access — what do I do?

Re-watch the relevant video above first — most access issues are a missed step in Business Manager or Google Ads permissions. If it's still not working, email us with a screenshot of where you're stuck.

My estimate or invoice didn't go out automatically — is something broken?

Usually this means a contact or job status wasn't updated in the CRM. Check the Pipeline Overview video, then flag it to us if the status looks correct but nothing fired.

How soon will I see results after launch?

Give it at least 72 hours after launch or any change before expecting clear signal — see "The 72-Hour Rule" above. Most accounts need 1–2 weeks of data before we make any scaling decisions.
