Common questions

Frequently asked questions

What data format does this work with?

Claude Code works with CSV exports from Google Ads, Meta Ads Manager, or any platform that exports tabular campaign data. You can also paste summary metrics directly into the prompt if you don't have a full export.

How granular does the audit get?

The depth depends on the data you provide. With campaign-level data you get macro recommendations. With ad set or keyword-level data, Claude Code can pinpoint specific creative fatigue, keyword cannibalization, or audience segment issues.

Can I audit both Google and Meta in one pass?

Yes. Provide both exports and tell Claude Code to compare cross-platform performance. It will normalize metrics where possible and highlight where budget mix is off relative to your goals.
