Conducting a Quarterly Facebook Ad Account Audit

Key Takeaways





  • Systematically review structure, performance, and compliance




  • Archive stale campaigns and refresh creative assets




  • Optimize budgets, bids, and audience overlap




  • Document findings and action items for continuous improvement




A well-tended ad account performs better and scales easier. Quarterly audits catch inefficiencies before they drain budgets. QuickAds.ai streamlines each audit stage.



1. Review Account Structure


Ensure campaigns align with your current objectives. Archive campaigns older than six months or with ROAS < 1×. Check naming conventions—should follow YYYY-MM_Objective_Audience_Version—to simplify filtering and bulk actions.



2. Assess Performance Metrics


In QuickAds.ai’s Analytics module, pull a report on CTR, CPC, CPA, and ROAS by campaign, ad set, and placement. Highlight outliers:





  • Low CTR (<1%) may indicate creative issues.




  • High CPA (> target) suggests audience or bid problems.




3. Audit Audience Overlaps


Use Audience Insights to quantify overlap between custom and lookalike audiences. If overlap > 30%, add exclusion rules or consolidate ad sets to prevent bidding against yourself.



4. Refresh Creatives and Offers


Identify ads older than 30 days or with frequency > 3. Rotate in new headlines, images, and value propositions using QuickAds.ai’s Creative Hub and Dynamic Creative. Schedule a creative refresh every quarter.



5. Compliance and Policy Check


Run QuickAds.ai’s Compliance Scanner to flag any potential policy violations—health claims, unsupported assertions, or disallowed content. Remediate issues before submitting new campaigns.



6. Document and Plan


Compile audit findings into a simple action log: structure updates, budget reallocations, creative refresh schedules, and policy remediations. Review with stakeholders and set deadlines for each task.


Routine audits maintain efficiency, prevent waste, and position your Facebook ad account for sustained growth.
