Standard GrowUpdated 27 Oct 2026
Can I text a reel and get an ad test for my store?
Yes. Standard Grow is a number you text a reel to: it sends back your version of the ad, a budget and a win condition, runs the test once you approve, and reports what it brought in. Most other tools make the ad video only, and you launch it yourself.
How it works
- Text us the reel, TikTok or photo that caught your eye, on iMessage or WhatsApp.
- Tell us what you sell and where people buy it.
- Get back a growth test: why the reel worked, your version, budget and win condition.
- Approve it, change it or skip it. Nothing runs without your yes.
- We run it and report what it brought in.
