The problem it solves

Setting up Facebook ads manually in Ads Manager for every new creative or variation eats your afternoon, especially when you're testing several versions at once. Mistakes in targeting or budget fields are easy to make when you're doing it by hand, over and over.

Who it fits

Marketing managers and ad operations teams running multiple Facebook ad creatives or variations at once.

How it works

  1. New or updated row appears in a Google Sheet with ad details
  2. The system builds a Facebook ad set using those details
  3. It uploads the ad image and creates the ad creative
  4. The ad goes live on Facebook automatically
  5. The sheet updates with the new ad ID and status
What you get

Ad campaigns running while you sleep

You get a live Facebook ad built and launched automatically from the details you enter in a spreadsheet.

What you get

A live Facebook ad, with the ad ID and status recorded back in your spreadsheet.

What you need

A Facebook Business account with ad account 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.
