Key takeaways
What this page settles in one pass.
- Five structural layers: Pixel/CAPI, audience overlap, creative fatigue, iOS attribution, placement waste.
- Pixel-only tracking misses 30-50% of iOS conversions; the audit checks CAPI deployment quality.
- Audience overlap above 30% across active adsets flagged as structural waste.
- iOS attribution gap reconciled against Shopify or sales system-side conversion data.
- Written deliverable + priority fix sequence. Marketing System Build first. From $999.

Lookalikes on LTV-top quintile vs All Customers. Customer match refreshed. Existing-customer exclusion on prospecting. Overlap monitored against 30 percent threshold.
03
Creative fatigue cycles
Frequency above 4 with falling ROAS signals fatigue. Creative rotation cadence documented. UGC vs brand creative segmented by stage.

iOS attribution gaps
CAPI deployment, AEM priority order, iOS-specific conversion gap measured against Android baseline. Mobile share documented.
05
Placement and creative waste
Audience Network, Reels, Stories placement waste audited. Vertical 9:16 creative coverage. Advantage+ placement breakdown.
Simple process
No maze. Three moves.
Use the intake path
Share the URL, campaign, store, page, or decision that should be producing calls, quote requests, purchases, booked work, or cleaner owner decisions.
Get the path
Stan Consulting maps the growth path and points the request to the right paid scope: service implementation, consulting, growth build, or marketing services.
Move on the build
You get the next step, owner decision, and implementation path without a vague exploratory call.
Why buyers trust the work
Clear scope before more spend.
Half of "Meta is not working" cases are CAPI dedup-key failures or AEM priority misordering. the audit checks the tracking layer first.
Multiple adsets bidding for the same audience inflate CPM independent of creative or bid. Overlap above 30% flagged with the build.
iOS conversion gap addressed against actual platform-side data, not against vendor whitepapers. The number you see matches the bank.
Questions before contact
What buyers usually need to know.
Who is Meta Ads Account Review for?
It is for owners who need a growth system plan on a Meta Ads account before spending more on Facebook or Instagram. If there is no live offer, page, campaign, store, or decision yet, start with the request path so the path can be scoped correctly.
What do we get?
You get pixel and capi check, audience overlap, creative fatigue assess, priority build moves, plus the next step that should happen first.
How much does it cost?
From $999 is the visible starting point or pricing band for this service. Variable work is priced after the asset, account, timeline, and owner involvement are clear.
How fast can this start?
Build scope after intake. Response comes through the intake path after the context is submitted.
Do we need a call first?
Not as the first move. Submit the situation first so the conversation starts with the real page, campaign, store, or decision instead of a blank sales call.
What if we already have an agency or internal team?
That is common. The work can map the current setup, direct the internal team, or define what the outside vendor should fix first.
How is the Meta audit different from the Google Ads audit?
Same structural framework, different layer-specific failure modes. Meta audits focus on Pixel/CAPI integrity, audience overlap, creative fatigue, and iOS attribution. Google Ads audits focus on search-terms drift, brand cannibalisation, PMax structure, and bidding alignment.
Is the audit really $999?
Yes. Delivered as the Conversion Growth System in 72 hours after Business Manager analyst access. Marketing System Build first. Larger accounts ($100K+/mo spend) scoped after intake.
What access do you need?
Business Manager analyst access to the ad account and Pixel. Optional: Events Manager view, Conversion API settings, Shopify Meta integration where applicable.
What if my iOS share is low?
Below 30% iOS share, CAPI is still recommended but not the priority finding. Above 60% iOS share, CAPI is the largest structural lever.
Do you do creative review?
Yes. Creative fatigue cycles are checked against frequency and ROAS data. Specific creative production sits with a partner or in-house operator.
