Meta Ads Second Opinion

Before you add more budget to Meta, check the decision.

Meta can report improving ROAS while the business is still leaking money. Second Order reviews the account, store data and commercial context before you increase, cut, or move spend.

Paid written memo. Fixed scope. No free audit funnel.

The decision

This is for ecommerce operators who are close to a Meta budget decision and want a written recommendation before more money moves.

01

Use this when

  • You are about to increase Meta spend.
  • ASC, prospecting, retargeting or catalogue campaigns are giving mixed signals.
  • The agency/platform recommendation is “scale”, but cash, margin or Shopify makes you less sure.
  • You need to know whether to scale, fix tracking, refresh creative, or hold budget.
02

What gets reviewed

  • Campaign structure and budget split.
  • Prospecting versus capture demand.
  • Creative fatigue and offer/funnel constraints.
  • Platform ROAS against blended MER, CAC, margin and store performance where available.
  • Tracking quality and whether Meta is optimising against the right signals.
03

What the memo answers

  • Which campaigns are safe to scale, cap, pause, or repair?

FAQ

Plain answers.

Is this a Meta Ads audit?

Not in the usual free-audit sense. It is a paid decision memo on the spend decision in front of you.

Do you need full account access?

Usually read-only access or exports are enough. Do not send passwords through the form.

Will this replace our agency?

No. A second opinion can support an agency relationship by making the decision clearer.
