Explain it simply
An audit is a careful checkup. This free add-on for Claude Code, an AI tool, checks your ad accounts on six sites, including Google and Facebook, against 190 rules at once. It gives one overall health score and a list of fixes, starting with the ones likely to make the most money.
What was done
A widely shared X post introduced Claude Ads, a skill that audits Google, Meta, YouTube, LinkedIn, TikTok and Microsoft Ads. One command starts parallel sub-agents that work through the accounts at the same time.
Google gets 74 checks and Meta gets 46. Everything rolls up into a single Ads Health Score and a prioritized action plan.
How it went
No account results are shown. The skill runs 190 checks (74 for Google, 46 for Meta) and rolls them into one Ads Health Score and a prioritized fix list.
- Built-in rules include a "3x Kill Rule" that flags any campaign running above 3x your target CPA for an immediate pause, budget checks for each platform, and compliance checks for housing, credit, finance and healthcare ads.
- It ships 11 industry strategy templates, including SaaS, ecommerce, B2B, healthcare and real estate.
- Promotional: the post's headline, "I'm going to fire my ads agency," and its "$4,000 a month" comparison are the poster's framing, not a measured result.
