Dan Hated Making Ads. Then He Tried Making Them From Claude.

Starting From Zero

Dan builds, markets, and sells CAD Scene alone. He needed ads to grow it, and he had never run a Meta campaign: fresh ad account, fresh pixel, no audience data for Meta to work with.

If that's where you are right now, his first attempts will sound familiar.

"I just hated creating ads, managing them, dealing with the entire process around it. It was such a pain to me. I would spend days trying to do manual research, navigate the ridiculously complex Meta and Google Ad UIs and all of that, and end up with pretty average results, to be honest."

Days of effort, average results, and a growing urge to avoid the whole thing.

Step 1: Copy What Already Works

Dan stopped trying to invent ads and started from his competitors' proven ones.

In AdKit's ad library, one competitor lookup shows every ad they run across Meta, Google and LinkedIn. Ad Score ranks them so the winners surface first. The runtime seals it: an ad that has been live for months is making someone money, or it would be gone.

"It's super clear to see. Okay, this ad probably works. They have it running for 170 days, in two formats. I gotta do this ad."

That minute of scrolling replaced his days of research, and it solved the beginner problem: you don't need experience to recognize an ad your market has already validated. Dan cloned the best performers, launched them to get data flowing into Meta, and saved the optimizing for later, once real numbers existed.

Step 2: Move It Into Claude

AdKit's MCP connects Claude to your ad accounts and the ad library. Instead of clicking through dashboards, you type what you want: pull a competitor's best ads, draft a campaign, check what's running. Dan set it up in minutes, and it replaced the app for him.

"Just this morning I used the MCP with Claude and basically I didn't even need to open up the app. It just did everything directly from Claude, which is a super nice unlock if you're into automation. It just works, really."

No ads manager, no tab juggling. The same chat window he uses all day now runs his competitor research and creative work, and anything that touches his ad account goes through a draft he approves first.

"There's No Chance You're Not Gonna Like It"

Dan didn't become an ads expert overnight, and he didn't need to. He borrowed proven creative, launched, and let the data teach him. What changed permanently is how the work feels.

"After using AdKit, this turned running ads into something exciting for me. It's just awesome."

"I definitely recommend that you try it and see for yourself. There's no chance you're not gonna like it. It's just a very good tool and it saves me a bunch of time."
