How to Audit a Meta Ad in 60 Seconds (with AI)
Bad Meta ads waste thousands. Here's a 60-second AI-powered audit that scores your creative, hook, offer, and CTA — then rewrites it for you.
# How to Audit a Meta Ad in 60 Seconds (with AI)
Most underperforming Meta ads share the same five problems. If you can spot them in 60 seconds, you can fix them in an afternoon. Here's the framework.
## The 5-point audit
1. **Hook (first 3 seconds)** — Does the first frame or first sentence stop the scroll? Is there a curiosity gap, a specific number, or a bold claim?
2. **Clarity of offer** — Can someone tell what you're selling in one glance? Would your mom get it?
3. **Objection handling** — Is the most obvious objection addressed on the ad itself (price, shipping, "does this work for me")?
4. **Social proof** — Reviews, UGC, press logos, "10k+ happy customers." Without it, trust is 0.
5. **CTA specificity** — "Shop now" is weak. "Get 20% off before Sunday" is strong.
## Score it
Give each point 0-2. Total under 6? Rewrite. Total 7-9? Iterate on the weakest point.
## Rewriting
The fastest rewrite: change the hook. 80% of Meta ad performance is the first 3 seconds. Try three hooks per creative: pain-led, curiosity-led, offer-led.
