It runs on 4 installable skills built for paid ads — bid/budget optimization, creative analysis, audience architecture, and full account auditing. Each one replaces a manual workflow that currently eats 30–60 minutes of your week.

This guide covers how to connect Clawdbot/OpenClaw to Meta Ads, what each skill does with your Meta data specifically, and the exact prompts to use.

Ryze AI connects your Meta Ads account directly to Claude, Gemini, and ChatGPT — so AI can analyze your data, spot issues, and make changes inside your account.

No exports. No middleman dashboards. Your ad platform talks to your AI agent directly.

What Clawdbot/OpenClaw Can Do With Meta Ads

Once connected, Clawdbot/OpenClaw has read access to everything in your Meta Ads account:

Campaign level

Budget, objective, bid strategy, delivery status, pacing

Ad set level

Targeting (interests, lookalikes, custom audiences, exclusions), placements, frequency, schedule, optimization event

Ad level

Creative performance, CTR, CPM, CPC, CPA, ROAS, relevance diagnostics

Audience data

Audience size estimates, overlap between ad sets, saturation signals

Creative data

Performance by format (image, video, carousel, collection), frequency vs. engagement decay, hook rate, hold rate for video

Attribution

Breakdown by attribution window (1-day click, 7-day click, 1-day view), platform vs. backend conversion gaps

It pulls this data for any date range you specify and cross-references across segments automatically.

It does not make changes to your account. You review and execute in Meta Ads Manager.

Manual Clawdbot/OpenClaw Setup

IT help may be needed

Step 1: Install Clawdbot/OpenClaw

If you don't have Clawdbot/OpenClaw yet:

# Install Clawdbot/OpenClaw
npm install -g @anthropic/clawdbot
# Verify
clawdbot --version

Full installation docs: docs.clawdbot.com

Step 2: Connect Meta Ads MCP

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is what lets Clawdbot/OpenClaw talk to Meta's API directly. You need:

  • A Meta Business account with access to your ad accounts
  • A Meta App with the ads_read permission (create one at developers.facebook.com)
  • A long-lived access token

Configure MCP

# Open Clawdbot/OpenClaw MCP config
clawdbot mcp configure

Add your Meta Ads MCP server:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "meta-ads": {
      "type": "url",
      "url": "YOUR_META_MCP_SERVER_URL",
      "credentials": {
        "access_token": "YOUR_META_ACCESS_TOKEN"
      }
    }
  }
}

Test the connection

The 4 Skills

1. ads-bid-budget

Problem

You're running 10–40 ad sets and need to know what to scale, cut, or pause.

What it checks on Meta

  • Cost per result vs. your target CPA/ROAS for every ad set
  • Daily/lifetime budget pacing — are ad sets spending or getting throttled?
  • Learning phase status — which ad sets are stuck, which have exited
  • Cost curve analysis — where you're hitting diminishing returns
  • Delivery breakdowns — Feed vs. Stories vs. Reels vs. Audience Network

Returns

OutputDetail
Efficiency rankingEvery ad set ranked by cost-per-result vs. target
Bid adjustmentsCost cap / bid cap recommendations with specific amounts
Budget reallocationDollar amounts to shift between ad sets
Pause listAd sets to kill, with cost savings estimate
Learning phase guidanceWhat to consolidate to exit learning faster

Meta-specific prompts

"Target CPA is $35. Which ad sets should I pause, scale, or adjust? Include learning phase status."
"Which placements are wasting spend? Break down cost per result by Feed, Stories, Reels, and Audience Network."
"I want to scale my top 3 ad sets by 30%. Will they re-enter learning phase? What's the safe increment?"

2. ads-creative-analyst

Problem

You're running 20–50 ads and need to know which creatives are winning, which are fatigued, and what to test next.

What it checks on Meta

  • Performance by creative format — static image vs. video vs. carousel vs. collection
  • Video metrics — hook rate, hold rate, average watch time
  • Frequency vs. CTR decay — the fatigue curve for each ad
  • Relevance diagnostics — quality, engagement, conversion rate ranking
  • Dynamic creative element performance — which images, headlines Meta serves most

Returns

OutputDetail
Winner analysisWhy top ads work — format, hook, messaging, audience fit
Loser analysisWhy underperformers fail — low relevance, high frequency, bad hook rate
Fatigue alertsAds where frequency > 3 and CTR is declining
Test recommendationsNew angles, formats, and hooks based on what's converting
Video breakdownHook rate, hold rate, and drop-off analysis for every video ad

Meta-specific prompts

"Analyze creative performance last 14 days. Which ads are fatigued? Break down video hook and hold rates."
"Which creative format is giving me the best CPA — static, video, or carousel? Include relevance diagnostics."
"My CPMs jumped 20%. Is it creative fatigue, audience saturation, or seasonality? Check the data."

3. ads-audience-architect

Problem

CPMs rising, frequency climbing, and you need to know which audiences are burned out and where to expand.

What it checks on Meta

  • Audience size vs. spend — are you oversaturating small audiences?
  • Frequency by ad set — which audiences see your ads too often?
  • Lookalike performance by percentage — 1% vs. 2% vs. 5% vs. 10%
  • Interest targeting performance — which interests actually convert?
  • Audience overlap — ad sets competing for the same users
  • Advantage+ audience vs. manual targeting comparison

Returns

OutputDetail
Audience rankingEvery audience ranked by CPA/ROAS
Saturation alertsAudiences with frequency > 3 and declining conversion rate
Overlap analysisAd sets competing for the same users, with % overlap
Lookalike recommendationsWhich LAL percentages to test or kill
Expansion planNew interest stacks, broader LALs, or Advantage+ suggestions
Retargeting healthPool sizes, frequency caps, and funnel stage performance

Meta-specific prompts

"Which audiences are saturated? Show me frequency and conversion rate trends over the last 30 days."
"Compare my 1% lookalike vs. 3% vs. 5%. Which one should I scale and which should I pause?"
"Are any of my ad sets overlapping more than 30%? Which ones should I consolidate?"
"Advantage+ audience vs. my manual targeting — which is actually performing better on CPA?"

4. ads-performance-auditor

Problem

Full account health check — new account takeover, monthly review, or something feels off and you can't find it in Ads Manager.

What it checks on Meta

  • Account structure — campaign objective alignment, ad set consolidation
  • Pixel/CAPI health — are events firing correctly? Deduplication issues?
  • Attribution discrepancies — Meta-reported vs. GA4 / backend data
  • CBO vs. ad set budgets — which gives better distribution?
  • Advantage+ campaigns — outperforming manual campaigns?
  • Cost trends — 7/14/30/60 day CPM, CPC, CPA trajectories

Returns

OutputDetail
Health scoreAccount rating with breakdown by category
Anomaly listUnusual changes with probable causes
Hidden winnersAd sets with strong CPA that are under-budgeted
Hidden losersAd sets that look fine but are bleeding on closer inspection
Priority fixesRanked by estimated impact — do these first
Tracking auditPixel/CAPI gaps, attribution window recommendations

Meta-specific prompts

"Full audit. Target CPA is $30. What's broken and what am I missing?"
"New account. Give me everything — structure, tracking, performance, audiences, creative."
"CPA spiked 30% this week. Is it frequency, CPM inflation, creative fatigue, or tracking? Find out."
"Compare my CBO campaigns vs. ABO campaigns. Which setup is giving me better results?"

Weekly Meta Ads Workflow

Five prompts. Once a week.

DayPrompt
Monday"Full performance audit on my Meta Ads account. Target CPA is $[X]."
Monday"Any budget or bid changes needed? Which ad sets are stuck in learning phase?"
Wednesday"Check creative fatigue on my top campaigns. Include video hook/hold rates."
Wednesday"Are my Advantage+ campaigns outperforming manual? Compare last 14 days."
Friday"Audience check — frequency, saturation, overlap. Anything I need to consolidate?"

~15 minutes total. Replaces the 2–3 hours you spend clicking through Ads Manager breakdowns.

Follow-Up Prompts Worth Using

"Why is Ad Set X outperforming Ad Set Y? Same creative, different audiences — what's driving it?"
"I want to scale total spend by 50% next week. Which ad sets can absorb it without killing CPA?"
"Pull my top 5 ads by ROAS. What do they have in common — format, messaging, audience?"
"Which retargeting audiences have frequency above 5? Should I pause or expand the pool?"
"Compare my 1-day click vs. 7-day click attribution. Am I over-reporting conversions?"

Limitations

  • Won't make changes. You execute in Meta Ads Manager.
  • Won't replace your judgment. It gives you data and recommendations — you decide.
  • Won't produce creative. It tells you what angles and formats to test.
  • Works with Meta's data. If your Pixel/CAPI tracking is broken, analysis reflects that.
