Sample ads checkup: Google Ads and Meta Ads

Connect your Google Ads and Meta ad accounts once, or upload your exports (ChatGPT Ads works from its CSV export). Ads Doctor works out cost per enquiry for every campaign, finds the spend that brings nothing back, lists negative keywords to add, picks the winners worth more budget and checks your tracking. You make the changes in Ads Manager yourself, with exact click paths.

Refresh tired Meta ads where people see them too often

"Retargeting - Instagram engagers 60d" has frequency above 3 (a common rule of thumb; retargeting can run higher). Results usually get pricier as the same people keep seeing the same ad.

Meta creative feedback

  • Add new ads to "Retargeting - Instagram engagers 60d": frequency is above 3, so the same people keep seeing the same creative.
  • Open with the question you hear most on WhatsApp, answered in the first 3 seconds with captions on.
  • Test a real before-and-after or a behind-the-scenes clip from your team instead of polished stock images.
  • Test a clear next step in the ad itself: 'WhatsApp us to check a slot this week' gets more replies than a plain 'Learn more' button.
  • Make vertical 9:16 versions for Reels and Stories; square images get cropped there.

Every number above is calculated from your data and compared with your own account averages, not industry benchmarks. Frequency above 3 is a common rule of thumb, not a hard limit.
