Monthly Account Audit
Perform a comprehensive monthly audit of the Meta Ads account: zero-spend entity archival, structural issue detection, naming convention review, UTM verification, and account hygiene scoring.
Warum diese Vorlage verwenden
Deep-dives into the full account to surface issues that daily/weekly checks miss: structure problems, long-term budget allocation inefficiency, campaign duplication, and compliance gaps.
Fur wen ist dies gedacht
Account managers and marketing directors who want a comprehensive monthly health check without spending hours manually auditing every campaign and audience.
So verwenden Sie sie
Run monthly at month close. Work through sections sequentially — structural issues affect everything downstream. Use findings to plan the next month budget reallocation.
INPUT
- Campaign structure data (campaign/adset/ad list)
- Campaign-level performance data, date range: last 30 days
- Naming convention: see suggested pattern in Step 3
PROCESS
Step 1 — Zero-Spend Audit
Flag for archival review any of the following that have had zero spend for 30+ consecutive days:
- Campaigns
- Ad sets
- Ads
Step 2 — Structural Issues
Check for:
- Overlapping targeting: ad sets within the same campaign with identical or >80% similar age/gender/location targeting and no exclusion logic → flag as HIGH priority
- Duplicate audiences: two or more ad sets targeting the same audience definition → flag as MEDIUM
- Deprecated creatives: ads with delivery status paused or disabled → flag as MEDIUM
- Naming convention violations: names that do not match the pattern in Step 3 → flag for rename recommendation
Step 3 — Naming Convention Recommendation
Recommend all future names follow this structure:
[YYYY-MM-DD]_[Objective]_[Product]_[Audience]_[CreativeType]
Examples:
2026-04-01_LEADS_SMB_SaaS_VideoAd2026-04-15_TRAFFIC_FreeTrial_Retarget_StaticCarousel
Step 4 — UTM and Tracking Verification
For each active campaign, check if destination URLs contain UTM parameters. A properly tagged URL includes at least utm_source or utm_medium. Flag campaigns where UTMs are missing or incomplete.
Step 5 — Account Hygiene Score
Score each account on a 0–100 scale:
- Zero-spend entities (30+ days): -5 per entity
- Targeting overlap: -10 per overlap pair
- Missing UTMs: -5 per campaign
- Naming violations: -2 per entity
- Final score:
Account Hygiene Score: X/100
