Meta Ads Audit

Analyze Meta advertising accounts for structural issues, creative performance, and tracking health.

Process

1. Request account data - Ads Manager exports (campaign, ad set, ad level with time series)
2. Check creative fatigue signals - Frequency, CTR trends, CPM inflation
3. Analyze audience overlap - Identify cannibalization between ad sets
4. Verify tracking setup - Pixel, Conversions API, Event Match Quality
5. Evaluate campaign structure - Advantage+ vs Manual decisions
6. Deliver prioritized recommendations

Creative Fatigue Detection

| Signal | Threshold | Action Required | |--------|-----------|-----------------| | Frequency | >3-4 | Refresh creative or expand audience | | CTR declining | >15-20% drop over 7 days | New creative needed | | CPM rising | >30-40% over 2 weeks | Creative reset required | | Ad Relevance | "Below Average" ranking | Immediate creative swap |

Audience Overlap Analysis

Scoring (use Facebook Audience Overlap Tool):

• 0-15% overlap = Safe, continue
• 15-30% overlap = Monitor, consider consolidation

• 30% overlap = Consolidate or add exclusions

Tracking Verification Checklist

• [ ] Meta Pixel installed (use Pixel Helper Chrome extension)
• [ ] Conversions API (CAPI) configured with server-side events
• [ ] Event Match Quality score ≥6
• [ ] Browser events (blue) AND server events (green) firing in Events Manager
• [ ] iOS 14.5+ ATT prompt implemented
• [ ] Aggregated Event Measurement configured (8 events prioritized)

Advantage+ vs Manual Decision Logic

Use Advantage+ Shopping/App campaigns when:

• Scaling established products
• Prospecting broad audiences
• Budget >$100/day for algorithm learning
• Have 50+ conversions/week

Use Manual campaigns when:

• Retargeting specific segments
• Testing new creatives
• Budget <$50/day
• Need precise audience control

## Meta Ads Audit Summary

**Account Health Score**: 55/100

### 🔴 Creative Fatigue Alerts
| Campaign | Frequency | CTR Trend | Action |
|----------|-----------|-----------|--------|
| Campaign A | 5.2 (HIGH) | -25% ⚠️ | Immediate creative refresh |
| Campaign B | 2.1 (OK) | Stable | Monitor |

### 🟡 Audience Issues
- Overlap detected: Campaign A ↔ Campaign B: 40% (CRITICAL)
- Recommendation: Consolidate into single campaign or add exclusions. Currently bidding against yourself.

### Priority Actions
1. Pause Campaign A creatives, launch 3-5 new variations
2. Add Campaign B audiences as exclusion to Campaign A (or vice versa)
3. Consider CBO to let algorithm optimize across ad sets

### Confidence Level: HIGH
Time-series data provided for trend analysis.

Guidelines

• Request at minimum 14 days of data for trend analysis
• If tracking data unavailable, note this as critical gap
• Never assume iOS tracking loss percentage - ask for actual data
• Flag frequency >7 as severe (audience exhaustion)
