As a Media Buyer, staying on top of your campaigns isnโt just important โ itโs essential. Thatโs where the Flowchart comes in. Think of it as your weekly compass ๐งญโ guiding your next moves, helping you spot red flags ๐จ, and making sure your campaigns are aligned with strategy and budget.
Letโs break it down ๐
๐งฉ What Is the Flowchart? #
The Flowchart is a weekly reporting tool used to monitor campaign performance across the board.
It includes:
- โ Campaign status
- ๐ธ Budget tracking
- ๐ Performance results
- ๐ ๏ธ Planned optimizations
It’s your go-to space for planning, reviewing, and acting โ and it pulls data straight from Meta Ads Manager and Go High Level CRM to ensure accuracy.
๐ Campaign Info at a Glance #
Each row tells a story โ and you’re the author. Hereโs what youโll be reporting:
- Basic Info: Campaign name, account, launch date, billing cycle
- Budget Tracking: Total budget, amount spent, percentage spent, and whatโs left ๐ฐ
- Results: Number of leads, cost per lead (CPL), and week-over-week comparisons
๐ด Red = urgent
๐ก Yellow = needs review
๐ข Green = going strong!
Color coding helps everyone instantly understand how a campaign is performing.
โ๏ธ Planning Optimizations Like a Pro #
The โNext Stepsโ column is where strategy comes alive. Here, youโll outline the specific changes you plan to implement based on your analysis.
Examples:
- ๐จ Swap out low-performing creatives
- ๐ฏ Adjust audience targeting
- ๐ฐ Reallocate or pause budget
Once youโve made the changes in Meta, mark them as โDoneโ so the whole team stays in the loop.
The “Next Steps” column will be used on Monday and Thursday only, and other columns like TUE, WED, FRI will be used accordingly.
๐ก Strategic Extras: More Than Just Numbers #
Want to go above and beyond? Use the Extra Strategic Info fields:
- Tested videos ๐ฅ
- Gender targeting ๐ง๐ฉ
- Specific interests or hooks ๐ช
These fields are not required, but they fuel creative brainstorming and help when performance dips and youโre searching for answers.

Hereโs how to make the most of your Flowchart:
- ๐ฅ Prioritize RED campaigns first
- ๐งโโ๏ธ Filter by your name to focus on your accounts
