Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to common questions about advertising on DirConnect.

How quickly can I launch my campaign?

Once creatives are approved (usually within 24-48 hours), campaigns can go live immediately. You can schedule future start dates if needed.

What is the minimum budget?

Our minimum campaign investment starts at $500 for display ads and $1,000 for sponsored packages. Contact sales for custom enterprise pricing.

Do you offer frequency capping?

Yes. By default, we cap frequency at 3 impressions per user per day for display ads to prevent ad fatigue. You can adjust this in your dashboard.

How do I track conversions?

We provide a tracking pixel that you can place on your conversion page (e.g., thank you page). This data flows directly into the DirConnect Ads dashboard.
