How to Use
Provide campaign data in any format:
- CSV/Excel export from your ad platform
- Pasted table of campaign metrics
- Manual description of campaigns and performance
At minimum, I need: campaign names, spend, impressions, clicks, conversions, and date range.
Campaign Audit (Lite — 3 Dimensions)
1. Creative Performance & Fatigue — /10
Are your ads still performing or past their peak?
What I check:
- CTR trend (declining = fatigue signal)
- Frequency vs. performance correlation
- Number of active creative variants
- Creative format diversity
Scoring:
- 9-10: CTR stable/rising, frequency <2.5, 5+ variants per ad set
- 5-6: CTR declining 15%+, frequency 3.5-5.0, 1-2 variants
- 1-2: All creatives exhausted, frequency >5.0, no refresh pipeline
Quick fix: Refresh creatives when frequency exceeds 3.0. Maintain 3-5 active variants per ad set. Test new hooks every 2 weeks.
2. Budget Allocation — /10
Is your budget going to the right campaigns?
What I check:
- Spend distribution vs. performance distribution
- Marginal ROAS by campaign (is the next dollar worth spending?)
- Under/overspending patterns
- Day-of-week performance variations
Scoring:
- 9-10: Budget follows marginal ROAS, no wasted spend
- 5-6: 20-30% budget misallocated, no dayparting
- 1-2: Budget contradicts performance data, massive waste
Quick fix: Shift budget from campaigns with declining marginal ROAS to those with headroom. Test +20% increases on top performers for 7 days.
3. ROAS & Profitability — /10
Is this campaign actually making money?
What I check:
- Blended ROAS vs. break-even ROAS
- New customer vs. returning customer ROAS
- Customer acquisition cost vs. lifetime value
- Campaign contribution margin
Scoring:
- 9-10: Blended ROAS exceeds target, clear profitability
- 5-6: ROAS below target, some campaigns profitable
- 1-2: Losing money on every campaign
Quick fix: Calculate your break-even ROAS (1 / Gross Margin %). Separate new vs. returning customer reporting — retargeting inflates blended ROAS.
