The problem it solves

You only find out an ad is losing money or scaling well when someone finally checks Ads Manager, and by then budget has already been wasted or a winning ad missed extra spend. Logging in daily to compare CTR and ROAS across every ad is tedious and easy to skip.

Who it fits

Marketing teams and media buyers running Facebook or Meta ad campaigns.

How it works

  1. On a schedule, the system pulls ad-level performance data from Facebook
  2. It calculates CTR, CPC, ROAS, spend, and conversions for each ad
  3. It compares those numbers against thresholds you set
  4. If an ad is underperforming or performing exceptionally well, a Slack alert is sent with the details
What you get

Ad results flagged the moment they shift

You get a Slack alert the moment one of your Facebook ads starts underperforming or takes off, so you always know where you stand.

What you get

A Slack message flagging underperforming or top-performing ads with the numbers behind it.

What you need

A Facebook Ads account with API access and a Slack workspace.

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.
