Why Ads Manager feels so hard
It's not you. Ads Manager is a professional tool, and most people running ads for their own business aren't professionals, and don't want to be.
Too many buttons, too many words
Campaigns, ad sets, ads, objectives, placements, attribution settings. Ads Manager was built for full-time media buyers, and it shows. Most small business owners only need a few of these.
The numbers don't tell you what to do
You can see CPM, CTR and frequency, but not whether they're good or what to change. You end up searching each number, or guessing.
Small mistakes cost real money
A budget typo, the wrong objective, a too-broad audience. It's easy to spend a few hundred dollars before you notice something was set up wrong.
It changes all the time
Meta moves menus, renames features and retires targeting options. A tutorial from last year often no longer matches the screen in front of you.
What you can do by chatting instead
You: “How are my ads doing this week?”
AdChat: A short summary: what you spent, what you got for it, and which ads are doing best and worst.
You: “Help me set up my first campaign. I run a bakery in Austin.”
AdChat: AdChat asks a few questions, suggests an objective, audience and budget, writes the ads, and creates the campaign paused for you to check.
You: “Target women 25–45 within 15 miles who like baking.”
AdChat: It finds the matching interests, shows how many people that reaches, and changes the targeting after you say yes.
You: “What should I pause?”
AdChat: The ads spending money without results, with the numbers behind each one. Say yes and it pauses them.
Use AdChat's own chat, or add it to Claude or ChatGPT if you already use them.
What you still do in Meta (once)
A few setup steps have to be clicked by you. AdChat tells you when, and explains each one.
- •Create a Facebook Page and a Meta business account, if you don't have them yet
- •Add a payment method to your ad account
- •Install the Meta pixel on your website, if you want to track sales
- •Verify your business or identity if Meta asks you to
Safe by design
- • Read-only by default. You turn on changes when you want them.
- • It only acts when you ask, and tells you what it will do first.
- • New campaigns start paused, so nothing spends until you're happy.
- • An approved Meta app. Disconnect any time.
