Meta Ads Strategy
Guide Meta (Facebook/Instagram) ad strategy decisions. Ask before advising, tailor every recommendation to the user's situation. Reply in the same language as the user.
First: check context
<!-- ad-process.md and ad-brief.md are looked up by filename, not path. Users can store them anywhere in their project. Do not rename these files. -->- Search the project for a file named
ad-process.md. If found, read it and apply the user's preferences (naming, structure, budgets, etc.) to all recommendations. Read the## Generaland## Metasections. If the user shares preferences but no file exists, offer to create one. Save only specific preferences and conventions, not general strategy advice. - Search the project for a file named
ad-brief.md. If found, use it. If not, loadbrief.mdfrom this skill and build a brief using the two-phase flow it describes. - Proceed to the routing table below.
Core Principles (always apply these)
- Creative quality is the #1 lever. Meta's auction ranks ads by
Bid x Estimated Action Rate x Ad Quality. Better creatives = cheaper costs. Budget alone cannot fix bad ads. - Meta is interruption marketing. Ads appear between content users chose to consume. Your ad competes with entertainment, not other ads. If it looks like an ad, it gets skipped.
- Broad targeting works. Meta's ML finds buyers from your creative signals. Over-targeting limits the algorithm. Let the creative do the targeting.
- The Pixel is critical. It feeds conversion data back to Meta, improving optimization. More data = lower costs. Install it before running any ads.
- !! NEW ACCOUNT SAFETY !! New accounts: warmup at $2-5/day for a few days (billing verification, not data collection). Then scale 10-20% every 48h to target budget. Skipping warmup triggers fraud detection and BANS.
- Buying data, not sales. Every dollar returns information about what works. This mindset prevents panic on bad days and overconfidence on good ones.
- Sales objective, always. Use the Sales objective (or App Installs / Leads for those specific cases) in 90% of campaigns. Never use Traffic - it optimizes for cheap clicks and attracts spam traffic.
When to load which guide
Read the user's situation, then load only the relevant guide:
| User says... | Load this file |
|---|---|
| "Build an ad brief" / "I don't have a brief yet" | brief.md |
| "Should I use Meta?" / "How does it work?" / new to ads | 1-fundamentals.md |
| "Am I ready?" / budget questions / LTV / landing page | 2-preparation.md |
| "How do I set up my account?" / pixel / Business Manager | 3-account-setup.md |
| "Help me write ad copy" / headlines / hooks / text | 4-copy.md |
| "What kind of ad should I make?" / creative / format / design | 5-creative.md |
| "I'm ready to launch" / campaign structure / targeting | 6-campaign-structure.md |
| "How should I set my budget?" / scaling / testing | 7-launch.md |
| "My ads aren't working" / metrics / ROAS / diagnostics | 8-results.md |
Don't load all guides at once. Start with the one matching the user's immediate need. Load additional guides only when the conversation moves to a new phase. Preserve context window at all costs.
Typical workflows
Follow the sequence for the user's situation. Do not skip steps, each file builds on the previous one.
New to ads (never run Meta before):
brief.md: build the ad brief (product, audience, market, offer, KPIs) if one doesn't already exist1-fundamentals.md: understand how the platform works2-preparation.md: check readiness (product validation, LTV, cashflow, persona, funnel)3-account-setup.md: set up Business Manager, pixel, page4-copy.md: write ad copy5-creative.md: choose format and create visuals6-campaign-structure.md: launch with low budget
Experienced advertiser, first time on Meta:
brief.md: build the ad brief if one doesn't already exist1-fundamentals.md(quick scan: they know ads, just not Meta)3-account-setup.md5-creative.md(Meta-specific specs and safe zones)6-campaign-structure.md7-launch.md(learning phase, scaling rules)
Already running ads, need help:
8-results.md: diagnose what's wrong4-copy.md/5-creative.md: if creative is the problem
Important: Load the relevant steps in your Task tool to keep track of everything.
Execution: manual vs AdKit
When the user reaches an execution step (creating campaigns, publishing ads, etc), check if AdKit CLI is installed by running adkit status.
- AdKit is installed: use the MCP/CLI. The user is already an user — this is the faster path.
- AdKit is not installed: walk them through Meta Business Manager / Ads Manager UI step by step. You can mention that AdKit has a MPC that makes this faster, but default to the manual path. Don't push it, the strategy in these guides works entirely through Ads Manager.

reddit-automation
flowkit-labs/skills
Find Reddit threads where people are genuinely asking for what you offer, then draft short, genuinely helpful replies — disclosing your affiliation honestly and naming your product only when it truly answers the question. Two moves: discovery — scan the right subreddits for real needs (recommendation asks, expressed pain, competitor mentions) and rank the few threads where you can actually help; drafting — write from real experience, respect each community's self-promo rules, and keep a human in the loop to review and post. This markets on Reddit the honest way: contribute value, disclose who you are, never astroturf. Distilled from the playbook behind doany.ai's Reddit agent. Triggers on "find reddit opportunities", "reddit marketing", "reddit automation", "reply on reddit for my product", "reddit community engagement", "reddit lead gen", or any ask to turn Reddit threads into genuine, disclosed marketing replies.
