Meta Ads Uncomplicated

£3.00

Updated for Meta's August 2026 changes.

Your ad account isn't broken because you're bad at this. It's failing because Meta ads run on a sequence — Business Portfolio, pixel, objective, budget, learning phase, scale — and skipping one step early breaks every step after it. Most guides give the pixel a single line and move straight to creative. That one line is where the money goes: a pixel that's installed but never proven, data sharing left on Standard, a domain that was never verified. Everything you decide after that is guesswork with a card attached.

What's Inside

Fifteen chapters. Here's what's inside.

  1. Why Meta ads feel impossible — and why it's not what you think
  2. Business Portfolio, payment method and billing, done properly the first time
  3. Meta Pixel, Conversions API and domain verification for Shopify stores
  4. Non-Shopify setups — WooCommerce, Wix, Squarespace
  5. Choosing your campaign objective, and the declaration Meta asks for first
  6. Broad targeting, country exclusions, and reading another advertiser's audience
  7. Ad set structure — ABO vs. Advantage+
  8. Daily budgets, break-even maths, and the learning phase nobody explains
  9. The three core formats — static, plain, reel — and what to do at 72 hours
  10. Reel creative and safe zones
  11. High-converting caption frameworks
  12. Metric benchmarks, diagnostics, and when to stop
  13. Audiences — exclusions, retargeting and audience fragmentation
  14. Safe scaling protocols
  15. When Meta says no — rejections and restrictions

 

 

 

 

 

 

Plus: a quick-start triage table that sends you straight to the chapter matching what's gone wrong, a micro-glossary so no term arrives unexplained, a Troubleshoot tab on every chapter covering more than fifty setup and campaign faults, and a Track Sheet built for a live, ongoing campaign — not a course you complete once and shelve.

Nothing is assumed. What a campaign, an ad set and an ad each actually are. Which of Meta's four screens you're meant to be on. What has to be true before a single penny goes in. All of it before chapter one.

No screenshots of buttons you already know how to click. Just the sequence, the reasoning behind it, and what to check when a campaign stalls.

Buy it. Set it up properly. Stop guessing at your ad account.

Want me to look at it with you? — £97

One hour, live, on a screenshare. You drive. I don't need access to your ad account and I don't ask for it — you stay in control of your own Business Portfolio, and you do the clicking, which is how the fix actually sticks.

We go through it in the order the guide sets out: whether your pixel is genuinely firing or only appears to be, whether data sharing and domain verification were ever finished, how the campaign is structured, where the budget is going, and what your numbers are telling you. You leave with a written list of what to fix and the order to fix it in.

Choose the £97 option below. You'll get an email after checkout to book your hour. One account, one hour. I'll show you what's wrong and how to correct it.
