Budget Optimizer — Put Money Where It Works

Most ad accounts have the same problem: budget spread evenly across campaigns when performance isn't even close to even. This skill finds where your money works hardest and recommends shifts.

Reports

Efficiency Analysis

Rank campaigns/adsets by cost efficiency (CPA, ROAS, or CPC depending on objectives).

Or: "Analyze spend efficiency"

Budget Shift Recommendations

Compare performance across campaigns, recommend moving budget from losers to winners.

Tell me: "How should I shift my budget?"
Or: "Optimize my ad spend"

Tell me: "Am I overspending or underspending?"
Or: "Check spend pacing"

Safety

Budget changes are high-risk actions. This skill:

• Always shows current vs. recommended budget
• Explains the reasoning (data-backed)
• Waits for explicit "yes" before executing
• Logs every budget change for audit trail
