Continuous Meta Ads Quality Monitoring

Continuous audits of your Meta Ads account against the 12 quality signals Meta's developer + Business Help documentation names as inputs to Advantage+ delivery, Conversion Optimization, and audience expansion across Facebook + Instagram + Reels + Messenger placements. Sentry catches what fails. Cortex fixes it.

RULE · 1

advantage_plus_active

Advantage+ Shopping or Audience active

At least one Advantage+ Shopping Campaign (ASC) or Advantage+ Audience is live. Meta's documented ATT-era performance baseline - ASC + Advantage+ Audience use Meta's full first-party + third-party signal density to find conversions across the network, which manual interest + lookalike-only targeting cannot match post-iOS 14.

RULE · 2

pixel_data_sufficiency

Pixel + CAPI ≥ 50 conv / 7d

The Meta Pixel paired with Conversions API captures at least 50 conversions per week per ad set running Conversion optimization. Meta's documented learning-phase exit threshold - below 50, ad sets stay in learning and CPMs run hot while the algorithm searches blind.

RULE · 3

budget_utilization

Daily budget utilization 80-100%

Active ad sets spend between 80% and 100% of allocated daily budget. Under 80% means Meta's auction system can't find enough auctions where the ad set is competitive - usually bid-cap or audience-size constrained. Over 100% means CBO-driven over-spend that fragments learning.

RULE · 4

no_active_disapprovals

Zero active ad disapprovals

Ads Manager Account Quality + Status reports show zero rejected ads, ads under review, or restricted ads. Disapprovals throttle delivery on the affected ad immediately. Concentrated disapprovals trigger account-level review and limit access to placements like Reels and Marketplace.

RULE · 5

frequency_under_3

Prospecting frequency ≤ 3 / 7d

Prospecting ad sets show a 7-day frequency under 3. Meta documents creative fatigue + ad-blindness beginning past frequency 3 on cold audiences - CPMs rise and CTR drops at the same time. Above 3 = budget cycling on the same impression.

RULE · 6

capi_paired_with_pixel

CAPI paired with browser Pixel

The Conversions API (server-side) is firing parallel to the browser Pixel for at least Purchase, AddToCart, and InitiateCheckout. Meta documents 5-20% conversion attribution recovery from CAPI in iOS-heavy traffic, which the Pixel alone loses to ATT.

RULE · 7

creative_count_per_adset

Every ad set has ≥ 3 unique creatives

Active ad sets run at least three distinct creatives. Meta's algorithmic rotation requires creative variety to learn from - single-creative ad sets fatigue quickly and force Meta's serving system into low-quality auctions.

RULE · 8

learning_phase_cleared

Ad sets out of learning phase

All active ad sets have exited Meta's documented 7-day learning phase. Learning-phase delivery is unstable and CPA is unreliable - frequent budget edits, creative swaps, or audience changes keep ad sets re-entering learning.

RULE · 9

audience_overlap_low

Audience overlap ≤ 30%

Audience overlap across active ad sets is no more than 30%. Meta documents auction-self-competition: when two ad sets target overlapping users, Meta picks one to serve and the other's spend is wasted on a smaller eligible auction pool.

RULE · 10

lookalike_seed_size

Lookalike seed ≥ 500 users

Lookalike audiences are seeded from at least 500 source users (Meta's documented minimum for stable lookalike modeling). Below 500, lookalike quality is noisy and 1% lookalikes regress toward Meta's general population.

RULE · 11

dynamic_ads_setup

Catalog + Advantage+ Catalog Ads running

For ecommerce accounts: a product catalog is connected, kept current, and at least one Advantage+ Catalog Ads (ACA) campaign is running. ACA is documented as the highest-ROAS placement for ecom, using Pixel + CAPI signal to pair products with users automatically.

RULE · 12

pixel_event_quality_high

Pixel Event Quality Score ≥ 7

Pixel Event Match Quality (EMQ) across Purchase + Lead events is at least 7/10. EMQ measures how well event parameters (email, phone, FBP, FBC, IP) hash + match Meta user profiles. Lower EMQ = lower attribution = higher reported CPA.
