Capabilities verified October 9, 2026. ## What Meta Ads is and how Kite uses it Meta Ads is the advertising platform behind Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, and Meta's Audience Network. You build a campaign around an objective such as sales or leads, set the audience and budget in ad sets beneath it, and run ads inside each ad set. Kite treats your Meta Ads account as the record of what your paid social is doing. It reads results for every campaign, ad set, and ad, checks how the account is built, and studies the creative behind your best ads. Then it turns what it finds into work you can use: a regular read on spend and results, a short list of setup changes, and a fresh batch of copy and visuals ready to launch. You connect your own Meta Ads account, and Kite works from what that connection can see. ## Marketing jobs Kite can do with Meta Ads Kite's Meta Ads work starts with reading the account and ends with changes your team can launch right away. The jobs below follow the order a paid social marketer would work in: see what's happening, find the cause, then improve the audience, the ads, and the page behind them. ### Report on how your Facebook and Instagram ads are performing Kite pulls performance at every level of your account: the ad account as a whole, each campaign, each ad set, and each ad. It reads the numbers you'd check yourself, such as spend, reach, impressions, frequency, clicks, and the results each campaign is built to get, over whatever date range the question needs. Kite can also split those results by the details Meta records about each impression. It can compare Instagram Reels with the Facebook Feed, one age group with another, or mobile with desktop. That's often where the answer is hiding. Say your cost per purchase climbed last week. Kite compares the week with the one before and finds the ad set where spend held steady but purchases fell. It notices that frequency, the average number of times each person saw your ad, has climbed past four on that ad set while clicks dropped. The same people are seeing the same ad too often. Kite tells you that in Slack with the numbers attached and suggests the fresh creative it would write to replace it. You can also put this on a schedule. A Monday report in your marketing channel can show last week's Meta spend and results by campaign next to your site traffic and pipeline from your other connected tools. ### Audit how your campaigns and ad sets are built Performance numbers tell you something changed, and the account's setup usually tells you why. Kite reads the structure behind the results: - each campaign's objective, budget, and bid strategy - each ad set's targeting, optimization goal, budget, schedule, and status - the ads inside each ad set and the creative each one uses - the ad accounts, Facebook Pages, and Instagram accounts your business manages Mismatches in that structure are easy to miss when you're busy launching. Kite might notice that a campaign meant to drive purchases has an ad set optimizing for link clicks, so Meta is finding people who click rather than people who buy. It might see two ad sets aimed at nearly the same audience and bidding against each other, or a lifetime budget that runs out on Friday in the middle of your best week. It brings each finding with the exact campaign, ad set, or setting involved and the change it recommends. ### Write new ads from the ones that already work Kite reads each ad's creative alongside its results: the primary text, the headline, the image or video, and the call to action. It sorts your current ads into the angles that earn results and the ones that don't. Then it writes a fresh batch. The winning angles get new wording, the losing ones are retired, and one or two new angles go in to test. Every line comes from real customer evidence, such as reviews, testimonials, comments on your ads, and quotes from sales calls, and Kite notes the source beside each one. The Facebook Feed cuts primary text off after a short preview, so Kite puts the hook in the first sentence and keeps headlines short enough to read at a glance. A checker counts every line against Meta's recommended lengths before you see it. Kite can make the visuals too. It generates and edits images in your brand's colors and fonts, and it produces vertical videos for Reels and Stories, using your own site's images and footage before generating anything new. You get the batch in Slack to review, choose from, and upload in Ads Manager. ### Plan the audience for a new ad set Meta lets you target people by interests, locations, demographics, and employers, and the exact names of those options matter. Kite looks them up in Meta's own targeting options while it plans a new ad set, using what it knows about your customers. If you sell scheduling software to dental practices, Kite can find the interest, job, and location options that match practice owners and office managers in the cities you serve. Kite brings the plan to Slack with each option named the way Meta names it, so your team can build the ad set in Ads Manager without guessing. ### Fix the landing page behind the ad An ad is only as good as the page it sends people to. When an ad earns clicks but few conversions, Kite reads the landing page the way a visitor arriving from that ad would. It might find that an Instagram ad promising a free trial lands on a page where the trial button sits below three screens of text. Kite can rewrite that page or build a new one for the ad's audience. On a site Kite hosts, it publishes the page once you approve it. If your site runs on Webflow, Kite publishes through your connected Webflow account. After the new page goes live, Kite watches the same ads in Meta Ads to see whether their results improve. ## What Kite reads in Meta Ads Kite reads your Meta Ads account and makes its changes elsewhere: in ad copy and visuals you upload, in landing pages it publishes, and in the reports it sends you. The information it reads includes: - **Performance results.** Spend, reach, impressions, frequency, clicks, and results for the ad account, each campaign, each ad set, and each ad over a chosen date range, with breakdowns such as placement, age, and device. - **Campaigns.** Each campaign's objective, budget, bid strategy, and status, which tell Kite what the campaign is trying to do and how Meta is spending on it. - **Ad sets.** Targeting, optimization goal, budget, schedule, and delivery status for each ad set. - **Ads and creative.** The ads in each ad set and the creative behind them, including primary text, headline, image or video, and call to action. - **Targeting options.** Meta's named interests, locations, demographics, and employers, which Kite uses to plan an audience. - **Business assets.** The ad accounts, Facebook Pages, and Instagram accounts your Meta business owns or manages for clients, so Kite works in the right one. ## How Kite connects to Meta Ads Kite is your AI marketer in Slack. It researches your business, builds a growth strategy, and ships the work that brings you new customers. Connect your own Meta Ads account from the integrations page in Kite. Kite then works with the ad accounts, Pages, and Instagram accounts that connection can reach. If your business manages ad accounts for clients, Kite can see the client accounts shared with your business and asks which one you mean when it isn't clear. Agencies often go a step further and run a separate Kite team for each client, so each client's research and settings stay apart. You can start with a question rather than a setup checklist. Ask, "Our cost per lead on Instagram doubled this month. What happened?" Kite proposes the campaigns and date ranges to compare, then comes back with what it found. ## Where Meta Ads fits in Kite's marketing work ### [Get a weekly marketing report in Slack](/use-cases/weekly-marketing-report.md) Meta Ads supplies the paid social side of the weekly report. Kite adds spend and results by campaign next to your site traffic and pipeline, so you can see what Facebook and Instagram contributed and what changed from the week before. ### Produce paid-ad creative (coming soon) Meta Ads tells Kite which of your current ads earn results and which have worn out. Kite uses that to decide which angles to keep and which to replace, then writes the copy and makes the images and videos for the next round. ### Research your competitors' advertising (coming soon) Your own Meta Ads account shows what works for you. Kite's built-in ad research shows what your competitors are running on Facebook and Instagram, so the next batch of ads can take an angle they haven't. ## Limits and product-specific details - **Your team launches and changes ads in Ads Manager.** Kite reads the account and doesn't create, edit, pause, or launch campaigns, ad sets, ads, audiences, or budgets in it. Its recommendations name the exact campaign, ad set, or setting to change, and new ads arrive as a reviewed batch ready to upload. - **This page covers paid ads.** Organic posting to your Facebook Page and Instagram account uses separate connections, described on Facebook Pages + Kite (coming soon) and Instagram + Kite (coming soon). ## Common questions ### Can Kite see what my competitors are running on Facebook and Instagram? Yes. Kite's built-in ad research covers competitors' current ads on Meta as well as Google and LinkedIn, including the copy, images and video, landing pages, formats, and run dates. It can look up a competitor's ads from its website address alone, or search Meta's Ad Library by keyword to see what a whole market is running. That research doesn't need your Meta Ads account. ### Do I need to connect Meta Ads before Kite can write Facebook and Instagram ads? No. Kite can write ad copy and make images and videos from your customer reviews, testimonials, and positioning without a connected account. Connecting Meta Ads adds what only your account knows: which of your current ads earn results, so the next batch builds on real performance instead of starting fresh.
