The problem it solves

You need up-to-date ad performance numbers for reporting, but pulling data from your ads account and cleaning it up by hand every week eats into time you'd rather spend on strategy. It's also easy to end up with duplicate or messy data.

Who it fits

A marketer or agency that reports on Meta Ads performance regularly.

How it works

  1. On a schedule, the system requests the latest week of ad performance data
  2. Large date ranges are automatically split into smaller chunks so nothing times out
  3. Records with zero spend or errors are filtered out or logged separately
  4. Clean, validated data is added to your Google Sheet
What you get

Ad performance you see every week

Your Meta Ads performance gets pulled and organized into a clean spreadsheet every week, giving you a reliable record ready for reporting.

What you get

An up-to-date Google Sheet of campaign and ad-level performance data, with a log of any skipped records.

What you need

A Meta Ads account with API access and a Google Sheets account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
