Required Credentials

When to Use

Requirements

• account_id (required)
• campaign_id (optional — defaults to all campaigns)
• date_range: last_30d (default)

Step 1: Fetch Audience Data

Pull data broken down by audience dimension:

Audience Type Performance (via breakdown by audience_type)

• Lookalike, Custom, Broad, Interest, Retargeting
• Spend, CTR, CPA, ROAS for each

Audience Overlap (via Meta's overlap analysis tool)

• Pairs of overlapping audiences
• Overlap percentage, combined spend, ROAS

Demographic Breakdown (via breakdown by age and gender)

• Age × Gender cells
• Spend, conversions, CPA, ROAS

Placement Breakdown

• Feed, Stories, Reels, Instant Articles, Audience Network, Messenger
• CTR, CVR, CPA, ROAS for each

---

Step 2: Audience Type Efficiency

Identify:

• Which audience type delivers best ROAS
• Which is over/​underallocated relative to efficiency
• Lookalike quality (which LAL layers performing)

---

Step 3: Audience Overlap Analysis

Flag:

• Overlap > 30% with high combined spend → Consolidate
• Overlap > 50% → Exclude one
• Different audiences with same LAL source → Separate

---

Step 4: Demographic Deep Dive

Identify:

• Highest and lowest ROAS demographic cells
• Unexpected performance by gender or age
• Bid adjustment opportunities

---

Step 5: Placement Breakdown

Flag:

• Audience Network with low ROAS → Exclude
• Stories vs Feed efficiency gap > 30% → Reduce lower performer
• Reels growing but underallocated → Scale

---

Step 6: Budget Reallocation Plan

Prioritize moves by:

1. Highest ROAS differential
2. Enough data to trust the signal (minimum 50 results per segment)
3. Realistic shift amounts (don't move more than 20% at once)

---

Step 7: Output Format

SECTION 1: Audience Type Efficiency

2–3 audience type issues in problem/​solution format.

SECTION 2: Audience Overlap and Waste

SECTION 3: Placement Breakdown

Rules

• No executive summary
• Minimum 50 results per segment before drawing conclusions on any audience slice
• Action must be specific: "Increase bid 20% on Women 25-34" not "adjust demographics"
• This is analysis only — recommendations route to meta-ads-recommendation
