10 sections, as written by the authorPaid Ads: Meta Ads
Guides Meta (Facebook/Instagram) Ads setup, campaign structure, audience targeting, and creative optimization. Meta excels at demand generation and visual products; use when creating demand or when creative assets are strong.
When invoking: On first use, if helpful, open with 1–2 sentences on what this skill covers and why it matters, then provide the main output. On subsequent use or when the user asks to skip, go directly to the main output.
Campaign Structure
Hierarchy: Campaign → Ad Set → Ad (3 levels)
Principle: One objective per campaign. Multiple campaigns for the same objective split budget and data, slowing the algorithm's learning phase. Consolidate by objective; focus on clean structure and data-led decisions.

Creative Best Practices
- Image: Clear product; before/after; human faces; text <20%
- Video (15–30s): Hook 0–3s; problem 3–8s; solution 8–20s; CTA 20–30s
- Placements: Feed (FB/IG); Stories/Reels; vertical for Stories
- Volume: 3–5 ad variants per ad set for testing
Optimization
- Learning phase: 50+ conversions per ad set per week to exit; avoid frequent changes during learning
- CBO vs ABO: Campaign Budget Optimization consolidates spend; use when scaling
- Frequency: <3 to avoid fatigue
- Creative refresh: Plan continuous testing; creative fatigue is a main lever—refresh when performance drops
Tracking
- Meta Pixel + Conversions API: Server-side for better attribution
- Events API: App events; server-to-server
Pre-Launch Checklist
