Explain it simply
A small shop linked Claude to its ads on Facebook and Instagram, and to its Shopify store. Claude could then see ad spend and real sales. It asked about her budget and goals, then promoted the best videos she already had instead of making new ads. She says the first week was about $2,000 spent and about $15,000 in sales.
What was done
The creator behind @askcatgpt connected Claude to Meta Ads and Shopify, installed a paid-media skill, and briefed it in plain English. Claude asked about her budget and target ROAS, then opened Meta Business Suite and Shopify analytics side by side to compare ad spend against actual sales.
Her key constraint: she didn't ask Claude to make new creative. It promoted her existing top-performing organic videos.
How it went
Week one: $2,019.18 spent and $15,235 in sales, about 7.5x ROAS, as she reported publicly. Later, on screen, spend had scaled to $11,884 and revenue to $80,767.
- These are the creator's own figures. The larger numbers come from on-screen graphics in her video and haven't been independently verified.
- ROAS is revenue divided by ad spend, not profit. Product costs, shipping and fees come out of that revenue.
- She already had a large organic audience, and Meta's attribution can credit ads for sales that would have happened anyway.
- The setup is technical (MCP connectors, skills from GitHub), not plug-and-play.
Prompt
You manage Meta ads for [brand], which sells [product] on Shopify.
Goal: target ROAS [x], daily budget cap $[amount]. Ask me anything
you need about margins (COGS, shipping) before you start.
1. Compare the last 7 days of Meta spend by campaign with Shopify revenue for the same dates.
2. Use only these existing videos as ad creative: [links].
3. Propose budget changes as a table: campaign, current budget, proposed budget, reason.
Don't raise any budget, launch any ad or change targeting until
I reply "approved."Our version, not the creator's original.
Setup notes
- Before you start, set an account spending limit in Meta Ads Manager so no agent can spend past it.
Business fit
Who this helps, and how:
E-commerce sellers: have an agent compare Meta spend against real store revenue every day before any budget change.
Shopify & ecommerceContent creators with a product: turn your proven organic videos into paid ads instead of producing new creative.
CreatorsAgencies and freelancers: use an agent for daily monitoring of small accounts and keep budget changes behind sign-off.
AgenciesLocal service businesses: compare ad spend against booked jobs from your scheduling tool, not clicks.
Local & serviceMedical and health practice owners: track cost per booked appointment and keep a human approving every ad and audience.

- Which videos do you already have that a helper could promote?
- What spend and sales would you want side by side before an ad keeps running?
- What should a helper not change in an ad without asking you?
