What this skill does
# Paid Ads: Meta Ads Guides Meta (Facebook/Instagram) Ads setup, campaign structure, audience targeting, and creative optimization. Meta excels at demand generation and visual products; use when creating demand or when creative assets are strong. **When invoking**: On **first use**, if helpful, open with 1–2 sentences on what this skill covers and why it matters, then provide the main output. On **subsequent use** or when the user asks to skip, go directly to the main output. ## Campaign Structure **Hierarchy**: Campaign → Ad Set → Ad (3 levels) **Principle**: One objective per campaign. Multiple campaigns for the same objective split budget and data, slowing the algorithm's learning phase. Consolidate by objective; focus on clean structure and data-led decisions. ``` Account ├── Campaign: Prospecting │ ├── Ad Set: Lookalike 1% │ └── Ad Set: Broad (Advantage+) ├── Campaign: Retargeting └── Campaign: Testing ``` **Naming**: `META_[Objective]_[Audience]_[Offer]_[Date]` (e.g., `META_Conv_Lookalike-Customers_FreeTrial_2024Q1`) ## Advantage+ & Automation | Feature | Use | |---------|-----| | **Advantage+ Shopping Campaigns** | E-commerce; automatic audience discovery | | **Dynamic Ads** | Product catalog; auto-generated creative | | **Automatic Placements** | Let Meta optimize across Feed, Stories, Reels | | **Advantage+ Audience** | Broad targeting; algorithm finds converters | Provide diverse creative assets to enable multiple ad formats; algorithm performs better with variety. ## Campaign Objectives | Objective | Use when | |-----------|----------| | Awareness | Reach; brand recall | | Traffic | Clicks to site | | Conversions | Leads; sales; app installs | | Engagement | Video views; post engagement | ## Audience Targeting | Type | Best for | |------|----------| | **Lookalikes** | Base on best customers (by LTV), not all customers | | **Interest/behavior** | Broad; let algorithm optimize | | **Advantage+** | Automated; fewer manual controls | | **Retargeting** | Website visitors; engagers; custom audiences | **Exclusions**: Existing customers; recent converters (7–14d). ## Creative Best Practices - **Image**: Clear product; before/after; human faces; text <20% - **Video (15–30s)**: Hook 0–3s; problem 3–8s; solution 8–20s; CTA 20–30s - **Placements**: Feed (FB/IG); Stories/Reels; vertical for Stories - **Volume**: 3–5 ad variants per ad set for testing ## Optimization - **Learning phase**: 50+ conversions per ad set per week to exit; avoid frequent changes during learning - **CBO vs ABO**: Campaign Budget Optimization consolidates spend; use when scaling - **Frequency**: <3 to avoid fatigue - **Creative refresh**: Plan continuous testing; creative fatigue is a main lever—refresh when performance drops ## Tracking - **Meta Pixel** + **Conversions API**: Server-side for better attribution - **Events API**: App events; server-to-server ## Pre-Launch Checklist - [ ] Pixel installed; Conversions API configured - [ ] Conversion events firing correctly - [ ] Landing page mobile-friendly; fast load - [ ] 3+ ad creatives per ad set - [ ] Audience exclusions set ## Related Skills - **paid-ads-strategy**: Channel selection; creative frameworks; budget allocation - **landing-page-generator**: LP for paid traffic - **analytics-tracking**: Conversion tracking; ROAS

writing-tech-post
IncludedAuthors engineering blog posts end-to-end: launch deep-dives, incident postmortems, architecture migrations, performance case studies, tutorials, AI/agent system writeups, security disclosures, and research-to-product translations. Picks the correct archetype, plans the abstraction ladder, enforces an evidence cadence (diagrams, benchmarks, profiles, traces, code, ablations), tunes voice against publisher house styles (Datadog, Vercel, GitHub, AWS, Meta, Cloudflare, Jane Street), and runs a pre-publish gate for narrative momentum and disclosure ethics. Use when drafting a new engineering post, restructuring a draft that feels flat, deciding which evidence form belongs where, validating that depth and product context are balanced, or preparing a postmortem, migration, or performance narrative for external publication. Do not use for API reference documentation, README authoring, marketing copy, release notes, generic SEO content, ghost-written executive thought leadership, or non-engineering long-form essays.
