Hire an AI Meta competitor image ad writer

Study competitor ads and map useful gaps. Write image ad copy from your proof, then check it against Meta ad rules.

What you give

  • Who the ads are for (new to you, warm or ready to buy) and your country
  • Your brand file (optional)

What you get

  • A board of competitor ads sorted by type, three per type
  • A map of crowded types, repeated claims and open gaps
  • Image ad copy for each gap, with one appeal tested per version
  • A Meta rules report with a rewrite of any line that fails

An example

Your category's ads all look and sound the same.

You ask: “Study competitor ads and map useful gaps. Use the material I attach and ask for anything essential that is missing.”

You get back:

  • Swipe file. Competitor ads sorted by type, with three ads from different brands for each type.
  • Gaps. The crowded types, repeated claims and open questions nobody answers, with a brief for your version of each.
  • Image ad copy. A headline and text for each gap, with one appeal tested in each version.

An example, not your task.

Skills and workflows for this job: Study competitor ads

Details

Everything it can hand back

Your task sets the actual outputs. The specialist picks the methods that cover them.

  • A board of competitor ads sorted by type, three per type
  • A map of crowded types, repeated claims and open gaps
  • Image ad copy for each gap, with one appeal tested per version
  • A Meta rules report with a rewrite of any line that fails

How it does the job well

  • Write for one named audience and one action. Each asset has a single job.
  • Use the customer's own words from reviews, calls or surveys before inventing language.
  • Every claim needs proof the business can show. Leave unproven claims out or mark them.
  • Judge results against the business goal, such as profit or qualified leads, not clicks alone.

Mistakes it avoids

  • Generic copy that could fit any brand.
  • Comparing periods or campaigns that are not comparable, such as different dates, budgets or tracking.
  • Calling a test winner before there is enough data.

What a good result looks like

An example, not your task: Your category's ads all look and sound the same.

  • Swipe file. Competitor ads sorted by type, with three ads from different brands for each type.
  • Gaps. The crowded types, repeated claims and open questions nobody answers, with a brief for your version of each.
  • Image ad copy. A headline and text for each gap, with one appeal tested in each version.
  • Meta check. A verdict and score, the rules each line breaks, and a rewrite of any line that would fail.
  • HAND-BACK SUMMARY. Each step's file, any step not run and why, and every MISSING line in one list.

How the work is checked

  • Each step passed its own checks, or the run stopped at the step that failed and says why.
  • The steps ran in order, and each one used the result of the one before.
  • Nothing was invented to fill a gap. Every gap is a MISSING: line.
  • Nothing was sent, published or paid for without a clear yes.
  • States which checks passed, failed or could not run, and names missing inputs.

These checks have not been run against a model yet. Your AI uses them to check its own work.

A second opinion

Before it hands back, your AI reviews the draft the way Eugene Schwartz and Jack Trout would. This is a way of reviewing the work. It does not mean they wrote or endorse it.

Capabilities

  • Builds the swipe file. Uses the swipe file skill to merge duplicates, file each ad under one type and keep three per type from different brands.
  • Finds the gaps. Uses the gap finder skill to count brands per type, spot repeated claims and brief your version of each gap.
  • Writes the image ad copy. Uses the image ad copy skill to write headline and text for each gap, opening by the ad type.
  • Checks Meta rules. Uses the Meta rules checker to judge each ad against the rule groups that apply and rewrite what fails.

How the role works

  1. Checks your task, context and available tools.
  2. Picks the methods needed and prepares a work plan.
  3. Carries out supported tasks, with each method's limits and review gates.
  4. Checks the real deliverables and corrects supported faults.
  5. Hands back files, evidence and unresolved gaps.

Inputs and helpful context

The specialist starts from the task brief. Only active methods require their inputs.

For the primary method, when used

  • Competitor ads you saved from the public Ad Library, with library ID, brand, start date and screenshot
  • Who the ads are for (new to you, warm or ready to buy) and your country
  • Your brand file (optional)
  • The competitors that matter to you (optional)
  • Your customer reviews (optional)

Tools and access

  • Meta Ad Library: The public source for every active ad, with its library ID and start date, browsed by hand.
  • Google Sheets: Keeps the board and its library IDs, so reruns only add new ads.
  • Any good chat AI: Filing ads from screenshots works in any strong chat AI that reads images.
  • Meta Ad Library: The public source for competitor ads, with library IDs and start dates, browsed by hand.
  • Claude: Holds dozens of ad cards and your claims rules in one long chat.
  • Google Sheets: Counts types per advertiser, so crowded and open cells are easy to check.
  • Any good chat AI: Writing to field limits from your proof works well in any strong chat AI.
  • Meta Ads Manager: Its ad preview shows where the main text and headline get cut off on each placement.
  • Any good chat AI: Claude, ChatGPT and Gemini all read the rule table well; what matters is pasting the ad exactly as it will run.
  • Meta Ads Manager: Its rejection notice and Business Support Home give the reason for each rejected ad, so you can test the skill against real decisions.

Tasks you can use it for

  • Your category's ads all look and sound the same.
  • You want image ads that say something the others do not.
  • You have been rejected on Meta before and want a check before you launch.

Limits to check before starting

  • You have no saved competitor ads yet: start with the Competitor ad swipe file builder, then come back.
  • You only want the gaps and no copy: use the Competitor ad opportunity finder on its own.
  • You have no proof for your claims: the copy step marks each missing line, so gather your proof first or ask a person on your team.

Best way to use this role

Give it one clear outcome, the actual files and a definition of done. Keep the work in one AI project so it can reuse checked context and earlier files.

  • Download the handoff pack. It's a zip with HANDOFF.md and every skill file this workflow uses.
  • Give the folder to Claude (in Claude Code, or as files in a Claude Project) and say "Follow HANDOFF.md".
  • Have your inputs ready. It works step by step and saves each result.
