To check your Facebook bid strategy with AI, ask an assistant connected to your ad account to list every campaign and ad set with its bid strategy, optimization goal, billing event and budget. You see mismatches in one table instead of opening each ad set. It reads the setup; choosing the right strategy is still your call.
TL;DR
- One prompt lists the bid strategy of every campaign and ad set in the account.
- It adds the optimization goal, billing event and budget, so you can compare like with like.
- It flags setups that differ from the rest of the account, such as one ad set with a different strategy.
- For how each strategy works and when to use it, read the guide to Facebook bid strategies.
- Changing an ad set bid is possible after you confirm, and only with a bid strategy that accepts manual bids.
Who this is for
- Media buyers who inherit an account and want to see how it is set up.
- Agency teams who keep a standard structure and want to find ad sets that drift from it.
- Founders who changed a bid strategy once and cannot remember where.

Try for Free ($0 Trial)The prompt to paste
In my Facebook ad account [account name], list every active campaign and its ad sets in one table. For each one show the bid strategy, optimization goal, billing event and budget. Point out ad sets whose bid strategy or optimization goal differs from the others in the same campaign, and campaigns that use a different bid strategy from most of the account.
Follow-ups that work well:
Which ad sets use a bid strategy with a manual bid? Show the current bid for each.
Lower the bid on [ad set name] to [amount]. Show me the change first.
The prompt works in any AI assistant connected to the Madgicx MCP. If yours is not set up, connect your AI assistant first.
What the MCP reads and changes
- Reads campaigns. Objective, status, budget and bid strategy for every campaign in the account.
- Reads ad sets. Status, budget, bid strategy, optimization goal and billing event.
- Changes an ad set bid, after you confirm. It can set or lower the bid on an ad set, in your account's currency. This works only when the ad set's bid strategy accepts manual bids.
- Changes budgets, after you confirm. Campaign and ad set budgets can be raised or lowered by amount or percentage.
What the answer looks like
A table with one row per ad set, grouped by campaign: the bid strategy, optimization goal, billing event and budget. Below it, a short list of what stands out, for example "three ad sets in this campaign optimize for a different event than the rest". The assistant describes what it sees and leaves the strategy decision to you.
If you ask for a bid change, the answer is the exact change in one line, such as the ad set, the old bid and the new bid, followed by a request to confirm.
What to do next
- Compare the campaigns on results as well as setup: compare campaigns side by side.
- Check what each campaign costs per result: CPA by campaign.
- Review the whole account's structure: audit a Facebook ad account.
- See who changed a strategy and when: account change history.
Changes happen only after you confirm
The check only reads. When you ask for a bid or budget change, the assistant shows the exact change and waits for your confirmation before it runs. A bid change fails on an ad set whose bid strategy does not accept manual bids, and the assistant tells you so rather than guessing. A budget change on an ad set can also be rejected when the budget sits at campaign level.

FAQ
Can the assistant tell me which bid strategy to use?
It shows how each campaign and ad set is set up and where they differ. The choice depends on your goal and margins, so it stays with you.
Can it change the bid strategy itself?
It can set or lower the bid on an ad set, after you confirm, when the strategy accepts manual bids. Changing the strategy type itself is done in Ads Manager.
Does it work across several ad accounts?
Yes. It reads every ad account you can reach. Name each account in the prompt.
