Example Audit Conversation

“Please audit my TikTok campaigns. I’m spending $5000/month but only getting 50 conversions. What’s wrong?”
AdsMCP AI:
“I’ve analyzed your TikTok campaigns and found several issues:

- Level 3 Issue: Landing page conversion rate is 1.2% (should be 4-6%)
- Recommendation: Your creative needs refresh, and landing page has mobile UX issues
Would you like me to analyze specific campaigns or create an optimization plan?”
Level 1: Diagnosing Impression Issues
When your campaigns aren’t getting enough impressions, the problem usually lies in targeting, budget, or competition. Here’s how to identify and fix impression issues:
| Metric to Check | Healthy Range | Problem Indicator | AdsMCP Analysis |
|---|---|---|---|
| Impression Volume | 10K+ per day | <1K per day | Identifies audience size vs. budget issues |
| CPM | $8-15 | >$25 | Compares to industry benchmarks |
| Audience Reach | <80% of available | >90% reached | Detects audience saturation |
| Frequency | 1.5-3.0 | >5.0 | Identifies ad fatigue patterns |
Common Level 1 Fixes
Audience Issues:
- • Expand targeting parameters
- • Add lookalike audiences
- • Increase age range
- • Expand geographic targeting
Budget Issues:
- • Increase daily budget
- • Switch to campaign budget optimization
- • Adjust bid strategy
- • Remove spending limits
Level 2: Fixing Engagement Problems
Poor engagement usually indicates creative or targeting misalignment. AdsMCP analyzes your creative performance against TikTok best practices:

Issue Detected: 25% of clicks don’t load the landing page

- • Average order value
- • Purchase frequency
- • Customer lifespan
- • Repeat purchase rate
Engagement Quality

Advanced Troubleshooting with AdsMCP
AdsMCP’s AI can identify complex, multi-level issues that traditional analytics miss. Here are some advanced diagnostic scenarios:
Scenario 1: The Audience Mismatch
Symptoms: Good impressions and CTR, but poor conversion quality and high bounce rate.
AdsMCP Analysis:
“Your creative is attracting clicks from users interested in entertainment, but your landing page is selling B2B software. CTR looks good, but you’re getting the wrong audience. Recommend refining targeting and adjusting creative to focus on business users.”
Scenario 2: The Creative Fatigue Pattern
Symptoms: Declining CTR over time despite maintaining impression volume.
AdsMCP Analysis:
“Your frequency has increased to 4.2 and CTR dropped 40% over 14 days. Classic creative fatigue. Your audience has seen this ad too many times. Recommend launching 3 new creative variations and implementing automatic creative rotation.”
Scenario 3: The Platform Disconnect
Symptoms: Same creative performs well on Facebook but poorly on TikTok.
AdsMCP Analysis:
“Cross-platform comparison shows this creative works for Facebook’s 25-45 demographic but fails with TikTok’s 18-34 users. The messaging is too formal for TikTok’s casual environment. Recommend adapting tone and visual style for Gen Z preferences.”
