# Getting started

> Sign up for the AI Marketing Agent, set your daily budget, and put a line of TireTutor code on your website so the agent can see which ads bring you customers.

<Note>
  Step 5 puts the tag, a line of TireTutor code, on every page of your website.
  The tag lets the agent see which ads bring you visits, quotes and calls.

  * **TireTutor built your website:** the tag is already on it if your site
    offers online tire shopping, service booking or quotes. Select **Verify
    installation** in step 5.
  * **Someone else built your website:** you need a person who can edit your
    website's code. If that is not you, step 5 can email them the
    instructions.
</Note>

Setup runs in five steps. Your progress saves as you go, so you can leave and
come back.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the AI Marketing Agent">
    In your TireTutor dashboard, open **Marketing**, then **AI Marketing
    Agent**.

    <Frame caption="The Marketing group open in the sidebar, with AI Marketing Agent selected.">

    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Start the subscription">
    Select **Learn More!** on the welcome screen. A dialog opens with the plan
    and the terms.

    Read the plan and the terms. Then tick the agreement checkbox.
    **Start subscription** stays off until you tick it.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set your advertising preferences">
    The **Set your advertising preferences** screen holds two sliders.

    Move **Preferred Sales Type** toward tires or toward services.

    Move **Preferred Contact** toward phone calls or toward online.

    Select **Save & Continue**.

    Both sliders start in the middle. You can change them later.

    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set your daily spend">
    Enter an amount in **Target daily spend**. The field holds you to the
    lowest and highest daily spend TireTutor allows.

    Check the summary below the field. It shows the platform fee, your daily
    total, and your next top-up amount.

    Select **Save & Add Payment Method**.

    Your browser opens a secure checkout page. Enter your card details there.

    If you close that page without paying, return to **AI Marketing Agent**
    and select **Save & Add Payment Method** again.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Add the tag to your website">
    If TireTutor built your website, select **Verify installation** first. The
    tag may already be on it, and the rest of this step is then done.

    The **Get started with the tag installation** card holds a line of code.
    Select the copy icon to copy it.

    Paste the code into the `<head>` section of every page on your website.

    Return to TireTutor and select **Verify installation**.

    To hand this to someone else, select **Install with a team member's help**
    and enter their email address.

    <Frame caption="The Get started with the tag installation card with the code line, the copy icon, two numbered instructions and two buttons.">

  </Step>
</Steps>

## How you know it worked

The **You're All Set!** screen appears once you finish the five steps.

TireTutor then builds your Google Ads account, your campaigns, and your
tracking. This takes one to two business days. The page refreshes itself when
setup finishes, and you get an email as soon as your account is ready.

## If it doesn't work

**The verify step says it cannot find the script.** The tag is missing from
the page you tested, or it sits outside the `<head>` section. Check the tag on
your home page, then verify again. If it fails a second time, contact support.

**The verify step says the script does not match your dealer ID.** The code on
your site belongs to a different account. Copy the code again from this screen
and replace what is on your site. If it fails a second time, contact support.

**The verify step says something went wrong.** TireTutor could not reach your
site to check. Try again in a few minutes, then contact support.

**Saving your daily spend returns an error.** The amount is too low once the
platform fee comes out of it. Raise it and save again.

**Setup has taken longer than two business days.** Contact support.
