Meta Ads diagnostics for DTC brands

The audit that finds what your ad account is missing.

We tear down your Meta ad account, creative, landing pages, and offer. You get a single document that shows exactly what's working, what's broken, and what to fix first.

Outcomes vary. We don't promise lift — we promise you'll know exactly what to fix.

The problem

Most accounts are leaking and capped.
You can't see either one from the inside.

There's money quietly draining out the bottom — fatigued creative, mis-tagged campaigns, attribution misalignment, audiences you forgot to exclude. And there's a ceiling above your head you can't see — untested ad angles, unaddressed awareness levels, an offer that under-prices your real value, a landing page that converts a fraction of what it could.

A good audit finds both. The leaks fund the ceiling-breaking work. The ceiling-breaking work compounds the savings. That's the operating loop — most teams only see one side of it because they live inside the account.

The leaks
8–22% of monthly spend wasted in the average DTC account — we name every dollar
The ceiling
Untested angles, missing awareness layers, weak offers, broken LPs — we map the path through it
The loop
Recovered spend funds the testing roadmap. The roadmap unlocks scale. In 7 days.
What's inside

Every audit covers the full funnel.

Meta Account Structure

Campaign architecture, budget allocation, bid strategies, audience setup, and attribution settings diagnosed against best practice.

Creative Analysis

Fatigue thresholds, winner diagnostics, format mix, hook patterns, and production velocity measured against your spend level.

Landing Page Teardown

Above-the-fold messaging, mobile UX, checkout friction, message match from ad to page, and conversion-killers identified.

Offer Positioning

Discount logic, perceived value gaps, competitive pricing, bundle architecture, and promotional cadence assessed for leverage.

QoQ Performance Trends

Where you're up, where you're down, and which specific changes are causing movement — broken down quarter-over-quarter.

30/60/90 Action Plan

Every finding ranked by impact. Exactly what to fix first, second, and third — with clear owners and effort estimates.

A real audit

Here's what you actually get.

Quarter-over-quarter trend showing spend, ROAS, CPM and hook rate decay
01
Where you've been, where you're heading

Six months of your account, in one page. Including the trend lines you didn't notice.

Every audit opens with quarter-over-quarter dashboards: spend, ROAS, CPM, hook rate, NCPA. We surface the slope of the lines, not just the latest number. If hook rate fell from 0.76% to 0.20% over two quarters, that's a creative-fatigue signal that predicts your CPA in 30 days — and most teams don't catch it until the quarter is already gone.

  • Six-month dashboard across spend, efficiency, creative
  • Trajectory analysis — not just the metric, the slope
  • Three observations explaining what the numbers actually mean
Attribution reconciliation showing Meta is under-crediting by 13%
02
Attribution reconciliation

If Meta's under-crediting you by 13%, you're starving the channel that's actually working.

We reconcile Meta's reported numbers against your post-purchase survey, GA4, and Triple Whale (or Northbeam, or Rockerbox). The gap is almost always there. Once you know which direction it's biased, you can size budgets to truth instead of to whichever dashboard you opened first that morning.

  • 3-source attribution reconciliation
  • Confidence interval and bias direction
  • Recommended budget shift with sizing logic
Top ads by spend showing two in critical fatigue
03
Creative diagnosis + new angles

We tell you which ads are dying. Then we hand you the next ones to test.

Every top spender gets ranked against a fatigue model — CTR decay, frequency curve, days-since-refresh. Ads in critical get a recommended off-date. But that's only half the work. We map your ICP across the five awareness levels (unaware → most aware) and the five sophistication stages, then write briefs for the angles your account is missing entirely. Most DTC accounts live in product-aware. The ceiling is in the upper funnel.

  • Per-ad health score, fatigue flag, recommended off-date
  • ICP mapped to awareness levels + sophistication stages
  • 5–7 missing creative angles with hook, format, and full briefs
Final scorecard 61% Grade C+ with seven ranked actions
04
Scorecard + Monday-morning plan

One grade. Seven ranked actions. The first three are doable in two weeks.

Every audit ends with a single weighted score and seven ranked actions, ordered by velocity × magnitude. No "consider testing" hedging. Each action specifies the move, the owner, the expected lift, and which week to do it. It reads like a production schedule because that's what it is.

  • Weighted scorecard across 5 categories
  • 7 ranked actions with effort estimates
  • 30-day sequencing + 90-day projection

Why moon

A diagnostic framework,
not a sales pitch.

Most audits are generated by junior strategists trying to upsell a retainer. moon.audits is built by operators who've spent over $50M+ on Meta, scaled brands from $20K to $1M+ months, and has seen the same mistakes on repeat.

Every audit is grounded in a diagnostic framework built from real DTC accounts. No generic best practices. No copy-paste recommendations. If a section doesn't apply to your business, we say so.

What operators say

The second opinion,
without the sales pitch.

"We knew our top creatives were getting tired, but didn't realize how much budget we were still pouring into them. The audit broke down spend-by-creative and made the kill list obvious — plus 13 other things our agency hadn't flagged in 6 months."

Sarah K.
CMO, DTC skincare brand · $80K/mo Meta spend
"Worth every dollar. The attribution section alone saved us from a six-figure misallocation. Now I buy one every quarter."
M
Marcus T.
Founder, DTC supplements · $130K/mo Meta spend
"Even running audits for a living, this catches things I miss. It's the level of depth I don't always have time for across 12 clients — and the outside perspective surfaces blind spots I can't see when I'm running the account day-to-day."

Questions

Answers.

DTC brand owners, CMOs, in-house media buyers, and agency leads who run or oversee Meta ad accounts spending $10K or more per month. If you're spending less, the Standard audit is probably still valuable, but email us first.
Yes, and it's one of the most common use cases. An independent audit gives you something to compare against your agency's own reporting — and catches what internal incentives might discourage them from surfacing.
Absolutely. Many agencies use moon.audits as a new-client onboarding tool or a QA layer. Contact us if you want to discuss volume pricing for multiple accounts.
Read-only access to your Meta Business Manager and ad account, plus read access to your analytics platform (GA4, Triple Whale, Northbeam, etc.). We never need payment information or admin access.
Standard and Advanced audits are delivered within 7 business days of receiving complete account access. Elite audits are scoped individually, but typically 10–14 days.
The diagnostic framework is most valuable at $10K+/month because there's enough spend history to identify patterns. Below that threshold, there often isn't enough data to make the findings actionable. Email us and we'll give you an honest answer.

Stop guessing
what's working.

Every week your account runs unexamined, something is quietly leaking revenue. One audit, one time, and you'll know exactly where.
