Ad spend check
See where your ad money had no result.
Upload an export from Meta, Google Ads, Snapchat or TikTok. We add up your own rows, show where money had no recorded result, and tell you the exact next step for each finding. Your file is read, checked and discarded.
How it works.
Four steps, then specific recommendations. The figures below are examples, not a real account.
Upload
Drop in a CSV from your ad platform.
Read
Every platform becomes the same simple rows: day, campaign, country, spend, results.
Check
Four checks run on your rows, only where the columns exist.
Recommend
Plain amounts from your own rows, with the exact next step for each.
What the recommendations look like.
Every finding ends with “What to do”. Example only.
Spend with no recorded result £120.00 · 30% of spend
- Open Events Manager to confirm your pixel is firing. The ad may be working but unmeasured.
- If tracking is fine, pause the ad sets still running with nothing recorded. Ad sets already off stay off.
- Move that budget toward the winning products and locations your report predicts. A guide, not a guarantee.
Spend outside your market £80.00 · 20% of spend
- Exclude the countries you don’t ship to. We list them by spend, with the menu path for your platform.
- Skip this if you do ship there.
- Check which US states your report ranks highest, and test there first.
When delivery stopped Spend ended on a date, then days with none
- Check the payment method and balance in billing for that date, and the campaign status.
- If you gave a daily budget, we show how many days it was reached.
We never guess. A check that needs a column your file lacks is skipped and listed, not estimated.
Check your ads.
