Scans your Google and Meta accounts for money being spent on search terms, placements, audiences, and ads that produce zero or near-zero conversions. Delivers clean exclusion lists you can upload directly. Platform: Google and Meta.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# 2/ Wasted Spend Finder — Google + Meta

## What it does
Scans your Google and Meta accounts for money being spent on search terms, placements, audiences, and ads that produce zero or near-zero conversions. Delivers clean exclusion lists you can upload directly.

## How it works
Claude analyzes your search term reports, placement reports, and audience segment data over a time window you choose (typically 30-90 days). It flags anything with meaningful spend but no conversions, and groups the results into actionable categories — negative keywords by theme, placement exclusions by type, and audience segments to remove.

## Practical example
Across 12 campaigns over 60 days, Claude finds $6,800 spent on 340 search terms with zero conversions. It groups them into 8 negative keyword themes (competitor names, informational queries, wrong intent, geographic mismatches). It also flags 23 mobile app placements on Meta eating $1,200 with a 0.02% CTR and zero conversions. Total recoverable spend: $8,000/month.

## What you get back
- Negative keyword list grouped by theme, ready for upload
- Placement exclusion list for Google Display and Meta

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add irinabuht12-oss/marketing-skills/wasted-spend-finder@sha256:e6874d295660dd0a

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261027.b3bdcd6, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
