<h2>FAQ</h2>
Do I need marketing experience to use this? No. The guided setup takes under 10 minutes and AI handles content creation and campaign optimization. If you can install an extension, you can use this.
What social media posts does the AI create? Social Boost generates product showcases, benefit-driven posts, seasonal content, and engagement prompts — all based on your actual products. You can review and edit posts before they publish.
How does Google Shopping work with this extension? We create or link your Google Merchant Center account, sync your products daily, and manage your product feed. Eligible products automatically appear in free listings on Google. You can also run paid Google Shopping Ads (Performance Max) campaigns to expand your reach.
What is open web retargeting? When someone visits your store but doesn’t buy, Kliken Ads shows them your products on other websites they visit. This keeps your store top-of-mind and brings them back to complete their purchase.
What if my store doesn’t get approved for Google Shopping? We offer a 100% money back guarantee. If we can’t get your store approved within 30 days, you get a full refund of your automation fee and unused ad spend.
Can I use Social Boost without running paid ads? Yes. AI social media automation works independently. You can use the free posts and organic social features without spending anything on ads.
How does billing work? Your automation fee and any ad campaigns are billed monthly. Your ad budget is distributed evenly over 30 days so you never go over budget. Cancel anytime — no contracts.
Will this conflict with other marketing plugins? This extension includes Meta Pixel and Conversions API tracking. If you’re using another pixel plugin, deactivate it first to avoid duplicate tracking. For Google, we create and manage your Merchant Center account directly.
