You posted a good video about your shop. Your friends liked it, but the people who might buy never saw it. This is the moment many owners think about boosting.

A boost means you pay to show a post you already made to more people. This guide explains the steps in simple words, so a small shop in Kathmandu, Lalitpur or Pokhara can try it without wasting money. Menus and options can change from time to time, so look at what your own screen shows.

What a boost really does

A normal post is shown mostly to people who follow you. A boosted post is also shown to other people you choose. You pay, and the platform shows your post to more of them.

A boost does not fix a weak post. If the video is dark, long or unclear, paying to show it only shows a weak video to more people. So start with a good post.

Step 1: Pick the right post

Do not boost the post that got the most likes. Boost the post that is best at bringing customers. Look for a post that:

• shows a real product or service clearly,
• has a short video with a strong first few seconds,
• has captions, so people can follow it without sound,
• tells people what to do next: message us, call us, visit us.

A short Reel of your best-selling item, with the price range talked about in messages and not in the video, is often a better choice than a festival greeting.

Step 2: Choose one goal

Before you press the button, decide what you want. Pick only one:

• Messages. Good for shops that take orders on WhatsApp or Messenger.
• More views of the video. Good when you want people to know your brand.
• Visits to your page or website. Good when you have a place to send them.

For most small shops with orders on chat, messages is the simplest goal. It is also easy to count.

Step 3: Choose who sees it

This is the step that decides if your money is used well. Think of your best customer and describe them:

• Place. If you deliver only inside Kathmandu Valley, choose only that area. Do not pay to show your post in cities you cannot reach.
• Age. A cafe near a college and a shop for school uniforms have different customers.
• Interests. Pick a few that match your product, such as fashion, food or fitness.

Do not make the group too small, and do not make it too wide. If you are not sure, start with the place and age, and keep the interests simple.

Step 4: Set a small budget and a short time

Start small. You are testing, not betting the shop. A few days is enough to learn something. A boost that runs for a month on a post you never checked is how money disappears.

Decide your limit before you start, and write it down. Spend only what you can lose while you learn. If you want help planning the amount, see how our ads boost service works.

Step 5: Check before you pay

Take one minute to look at the preview. Ask yourself:

1. Does the first line make sense on its own?
2. Is the button right: message, call or learn more?
3. Is your phone number or WhatsApp number correct?
4. Is the audience the one you chose?

Small mistakes, like a wrong number, cost real money.

Step 6: Answer messages fast

This is the step owners forget. If a customer messages you and you answer after two days, they have gone to another shop. During a boost, keep your phone close and reply the same day. Have a ready answer for the usual questions: price, size, delivery, payment.

Step 7: Look at the results

After the boost, look at what happened. Do not only count likes. Ask:

• How many new messages did we get?
• How many of them became orders?
• What did each order cost us in boost money?
• Did people say "I saw your video" when they ordered?

If you got messages but no orders, the problem may be your reply, your product or your price, not the boost. If you got few messages, try a different video or a different audience next time.

Common mistakes

• Boosting a post with no clear next step. Always say what to do.
• Choosing everyone. A wide audience wastes money.
• Changing everything at once. Change one thing at a time, so you know what helped.
• Boosting only at the last minute. For Dashain and Tihar, plan your post earlier, because many shops compete for attention then.
• Stopping after one try. Your second and third boost will teach you more than the first.

When to ask for help

If you have a good product but your videos look weak, fix the video first. Our team can clean up your clips on the video editing page, so the post is ready before you spend on it. Then a boost has a better chance.

Quick summary

• A boost shows a post you already made to more people.
• Pick a strong, clear post with a next step.
• Choose one goal, a clear place and a simple audience.
• Start with a small budget and a short time.
• Reply fast, then count real messages and orders.
