The complete customer journey

Six clear stages. No unexplained leap from data to verdict.

The product separates account access, business context, factual calculations and AI explanation so every conclusion can be checked.

01

Create your business profile

Tell AdSpend Lens what your business sells, whether advertising should produce ecommerce sales or leads, which currency you use and which outcomes genuinely matter.

A purchase, telephone call and newsletter signup should not automatically be treated as equal results.
02

Connect Meta Ads and Google Ads

Authorise secure, read-only reporting access and choose the advertising accounts you want included. You remain in control of the connection.

The product is designed to analyse activity—not change budgets, bids, targeting or adverts.
03

Define what good looks like

Add your target return, acceptable customer-acquisition cost, average order value and gross margin. When you do not know a target, onboarding can help create a clearly labelled estimate.

Advertising performance only becomes meaningful when it is compared with what your business needs.
04

Data is synchronised into AdSpend Lens

Background workers collect permitted campaign, advert, creative, keyword and performance information and store daily history in the application database.

Dashboards use stored data rather than repeatedly calling advertising APIs every time you change a filter.
05

Transparent rules calculate the findings

The calculation engine checks spend, tracked value, changes over time, cost per result, data sufficiency, creative performance, search-term waste and tracking concerns.

Every warning keeps the figures, date range and comparison used to raise it.
06

AI explains the evidence in plain English

Structured findings are translated into an understandable summary, follow-up answers and neutral questions to take into your next agency meeting.

When the evidence is weak, the right answer is: not enough data yet.
Facts first. AI second.

The AI explains a finding. It does not invent the finding.

Advertising data is too important to hand directly to a language model and hope it reaches the right conclusion. AdSpend Lens uses testable calculations first, then asks AI to communicate those results clearly.

01
Calculation engine

Works out what happened and whether a rule was triggered.

02
Evidence record

Stores the dates, spend, results, targets and comparison.

03
Confidence check

Decides whether the conclusion is reliable or still early.

04
AI explanation

Translates the finding and prepares sensible questions.

Built around trust
