The difference

What automated ad governance changes

Most e-commerce teams discover budget waste weeks after it happens. Here's what changes when you have real-time visibility and automated rules.

Without Improvado
  • Zombie ads from 2014 still spending budget — nobody cleaned them up
  • Disapproved creatives flagged by Meta kept running, no alert sent
  • 2,441 ads silently break when a shared audience is deleted
  • 15% of spend running across BAU, retention, and testing simultaneously — can't read which campaign won
  • Reactive problem-solving — you find out days or weeks later
With Improvado

  • Instant alerts the moment a creative is disapproved or an audience breaks
  • Cross-channel ROAS dashboard updated daily or even hourly
