Free Meta Ads audit for e-commerce founders spending $30K+/month
Spend keeps climbing. Revenue doesn't follow. So you open Ads Manager again, nudge a budget, try a new audience, launch another round of ads, and wait. Next week the chart looks the same.
You're clearly putting in the hours. What's missing is a diagnosis: knowing which lever actually matters before you pull another one. Book a call, share your screen, and I'll show you why the account is stuck and what to do next, in order.
Four quick questions, then pick a time.
Your details go to me and nobody else.
Join from a laptop with Ads Manager open and ready to share your screen. That's the whole prep.

The free audit is built for stores spending $30K or more a month on ads, and yours isn't there yet. At your spend, the biggest wins are usually the fundamentals, like clean tracking and a steady flow of new creative, and I'd rather not take an hour of your time to tell you that.
I've got your details. If your spend grows, come back and book. In the meantime, the writing on this site covers most of what I'd tell you on a call.
At $30K a month, every flat week costs real money, so the instinct is to do something. Change the bid strategy. Duplicate the winning ad set. Try Advantage+. Launch another batch of creative. Some of it helps for a few days. None of it bends the trend line.
That's usually because the account has one or two real constraints, and everything else is noise. Broken signal, a creative problem, an offer problem, or a structure that keeps resetting itself. Until you know which one is yours, every tweak is a coin flip.
The same order every time, because each step rules out the next most expensive possibility.
Pixel, Conversions API, deduplication and match quality, checked against your Shopify orders. If Meta can't see your sales clearly, nothing else on this list matters yet.
How fragmented the structure is, how often things get edited, and whether ad sets ever exit the learning phase. Constant tinkering is one of the most common causes of a flat line I see.
Whether new ads bring new angles, personas and hooks, or the same idea in a new color. Volume without variety rarely moves anything.
Price, bundles, landing page and first-purchase incentive. Sometimes the ads are fine and the click lands on a page that can't close it.
Prospecting against retargeting, new customers against returning, and which campaigns are taking credit for sales that would have happened anyway.
Contribution margin and what you can afford to pay for a new customer, so scaling decisions come from math instead of from how the dashboard feels today.
The one or two things actually holding your account back, and what to do about each, in order. A short list you can act on next week, instead of another 40-point checklist.
If you want to keep running it yourself, you'll have a plan. If you'd rather hand it off, you'll know exactly what you're handing off.
Peter Stringer. I've been inside hundreds of ad accounts and managed more than $100M in spend, for brands including Purina and Mars Wrigley. Spend going up while revenue stays flat is a chart I've seen more times than I can count, and it almost always has a findable cause.
Before consulting I was a VP at the Boston Celtics and then at UFC, and I worked in performance advertising at Facebook. When you book this, I'm the one in your account.
Usually the things you can't see from inside Ads Manager: tracking that's quietly broken, a structure that keeps resetting, or creative that's newer without being different. Fresh eyes on a stuck account tend to find more than another week of tinkering.
Honestly, ease off. Big changes right before a diagnosis make the account harder to read. Keep it steady and bring your questions.
Yes. No card, no contract. I keep it to accounts spending $30K or more a month, where a second set of eyes tends to pay for itself.
No. Join from a laptop with Ads Manager open and share your screen. We go through it together.
If there's a fit, I'll tell you what working together looks like and what it costs, on the call. If there isn't, you've got a list of fixes and nobody chasing you.
Book the audit and I'll show you what's actually holding the account back. Worst case, you confirm you're on the right track. Best case, $30K a month starts feeling like money well spent.
