Full Multi-Platform Ads Audit

Process

1. Collect account data — request exports, screenshots, or API access
2. Detect business type — analyze account signals per ads orchestrator
3. Identify active platforms — determine which platforms are in use
4. Delegate to subagents (if available, otherwise run inline sequentially):
   • audit-google — Conversion tracking, wasted spend, structure, keywords, ads, settings (G01-G74)
   • audit-meta — Pixel/CAPI health, creative fatigue, structure, audience (M01-M46)
   • audit-creative — LinkedIn, TikTok, Microsoft creative checks + cross-platform synthesis
   • audit-tracking — LinkedIn, TikTok, Microsoft tracking + cross-platform tracking health
   • audit-budget — LinkedIn, TikTok, Microsoft budget/bidding + cross-platform allocation
   • audit-compliance — All-platform compliance, settings, performance benchmarks
5. Score — calculate per-platform and aggregate Ads Health Score (0-100)
6. Report — generate prioritized action plan with Quick Wins

Data Collection

Ask the user for available data. Accept any combination:

• Google Ads: account export, Change History, Search Terms Report
• Meta Ads: Ads Manager export, Events Manager screenshot, EMQ scores
• LinkedIn Ads: Campaign Manager export, Insight Tag status
• TikTok Ads: Ads Manager export, Pixel/Events API status
• Microsoft Ads: account export, UET tag status, import validation results

If no exports available, audit from screenshots or manual data entry.
