FAQ
Questions people ask before working with me
Straight answers on training, ads, WhatsApp automation, pricing and what happens when things go wrong.
Training and courses
There is no single answer, and anyone claiming the title outright should be treated carefully. Judge by whether the trainer runs ads with their own money, holds verifiable certifications, teaches policy rather than just the interface, and lets you work on your own account. Prasad Pkd is Meta certified, a WATI partner, and has trained 100+ Kerala businesses in Malayalam — the full case is here.
Yes. All teaching and explanation happens in Malayalam. The ads manager interface and written material stay in English so you learn the terminology and can read Meta's own documentation afterwards. English-medium sessions are available on request.
No. The course starts from creating a Business Manager. Experienced advertisers usually find the policy and structure modules most valuable.
Learn With Prasad Academy issues a completion certificate. It is not a Meta credential — Meta's own certifications are separate exams.
Yes, in Kozhikode and nearby districts by appointment. See the Calicut page.
Meta ads and account problems
Often, but nobody can guarantee it — the decision is Meta's. What matters most is diagnosing the real cause before appealing, because failed appeals make recovery harder. Bring the exact restriction wording to a 1-to-1 session.
Most often the creative or landing page touches a restricted category — health claims, income promises, before-and-after images, or personal attributes in the copy. Sometimes it is the landing page rather than the ad. Each has a different fix.
For local lead generation in a Kerala district, ₹500–₹1,000 per day generates enough data for the algorithm to optimise. Below roughly ₹300 a day results stay unpredictable regardless of skill.
No. Boosting optimises for engagement on that post. Proper campaigns let you choose leads, messages or purchases as the objective, control audiences and placements, and measure cost per result. This distinction costs Kerala businesses a lot of money.
Not always. Lead forms and click-to-WhatsApp campaigns work without one and often convert better for local services. A website helps with retargeting and credibility.
WhatsApp and WATI
The official version of WhatsApp for businesses needing automation, multiple agents on one number, and approved bulk template messages. It is accessed through a provider like WATI, not downloaded as an app. Full explanation here.
Under roughly 30 enquiries a day with one person replying, the free app is usually fine. Beyond that — or if you need a chatbot, several agents, or ads pushing leads in automatically — you need the API.
Approved template messages to opted-in contacts through the official API are allowed. Unofficial bulk-sender tools violate WhatsApp's terms and get numbers permanently banned.
Yes, with migration — but it must be removed from the WhatsApp Business app first and cannot be used there afterwards. Many businesses start a fresh number instead.
Yes. See WATI support in Malayalam.
Working together
It depends on which service and scope. Courses, single consultations, monthly retainers and managed advertising are all priced differently, and WhatsApp API has both a platform subscription and Meta's conversation charges. Book a free slot for current pricing on what you actually need.
Yes. It is a conversation about whether working together makes sense, not a sales presentation. Sometimes the honest answer is that you do not need any of this yet.
Yes, online, across India. Training is in Malayalam or English.
You do, always. I work inside your assets with partner access. Nothing is registered under my business, and if we stop working together nothing has to be rebuilt.
Monday to Friday 10:00–18:00 and Saturday to Sunday 14:00–17:00 IST. WhatsApp messages outside those hours get answered the next working session.
