Budget guard: it will not let you blow the cap or buy junk traffic

Two different problems eat a client budget: overspend through inattention, and traffic that can never turn into a lead. The first is caught by a pacing check every 2 hours, the second by a placement guard every hour and safe settings in new campaigns. A person stops the spend, but they hear about the problem in time.

14 days on any plan, no card needed to start. After the click: a three-field form and the workspace.

What is watched

Monthly cap
Per client and per account, counting every platform in one currency
Pacing
Checked every 2 hours: will the budget run out before the month does
Evenness
Checked every 24 hours: is a campaign eating a month in a week
Placements
A guard every 1 hour: have the risky networks been switched back on
Junk traffic
Click fraud, placements with no conversions, repeating addresses
Action
A pause or a budget cut - through the approval queue

Spend is counted across every platform the client uses, in one currency, so the cap cannot be dodged by moving the money into another ad account.

01What it looks like

Budget guard in ADS Beast: cap, pacing, placements

Screen recording: a monthly cap on a client, a projection of when the budget runs out at the current pace, the placement guard, and a budget cut waiting in the approval queue.

A screen recording of the product in the ADS Beast demo workspace. The clients and campaigns on screen exist for the demonstration; no real advertiser stands behind them.
02What it does

What the budget guard does

01

A cap on the client, not on the account

A client has one advertising budget and may have five ad accounts. The cap is set on the client, spend is gathered from every platform and converted to one currency. Approaching the cap and going past it are different alerts with different urgency.

  • The monthly cap and current spend for the client
  • An alert when the cap is close and another when it is passed
  • A breakdown of how much each platform took
02

Pacing: the month should not end on Wednesday

A campaign spending evenly and a campaign burning a monthly budget in a week look identical if you only read the total. The system reads the pace and warns you before the money runs out.

  • A projection of when the budget runs out at the current pace
  • Campaigns spending faster than plan
  • A proposal to cut the daily budget, with the arithmetic
03

Junk traffic is cut off before it costs anything

Audience Network, Pangle, Search Partners, the audience networks - all off in new campaigns. The guard checks every hour that the settings have not changed, and it explains the reason for the block in words rather than a code.

  • Safe placement settings in new campaigns
  • A check every 1 hour for what has been switched back on
  • Placements and addresses that spend without conversions
04

Stopping goes through a person

Even with obvious overspend the system does not pause a campaign itself. It forms an action with the reason, the amount and the expected effect, and sends a notification on the chosen channels. A person confirms, and the action is applied and read back from the account.

  • A "cut the budget" or "pause it" action, with the arithmetic
  • A notification in Telegram, email, Slack or the browser
  • A log entry of who confirmed and when
03How it works

How the guard fires

Three automatic steps and one human one. The first takes the longest, and it is free.

  1. 01

    Set the cap

    A monthly cap on the client; spend is gathered from every platform they use.

  2. 02

    Watching

    Pacing every 2 hours, evenness every 24 hours, placements every hour.

  3. 03

    An alert with the arithmetic

    The notification names the platform, the account, the period and the amount in dollars.

  4. 04

    A human decision

    An action in the approval queue; once confirmed it is applied and read back from the account.

04How it fits together

Where the data comes from and what you get out of it.

Ad accounts hand over their statistics through your own OAuth apps. The system puts them into one picture, agents look for what to change, and only what you approve gets changed.

06What it does not do

What the budget guard does not do

  • It does not stop campaigns itself - even with obvious overspend, a person makes the call.
  • It does not count the cap against one ad account when the client has several.
  • It does not present click fraud as a proven fact: it shows the signals and the amounts, and the conclusion stays with the operator.
  • It does not switch placements on or off without a log entry.
07Questions and answers

Questions and answers

Can the system stop a campaign automatically on overspend?

No. It will form an action with the reason, the amount and the arithmetic, and send a notification. The pause is applied only after a person confirms - the same rule that covers everything which moves money.

How is the monthly cap counted when a client has several ad accounts?

Across every platform the client uses together, in one currency at the rate for the day of the spend. The cap cannot be dodged by moving the money into another account.

What counts as junk traffic?

Partner and audience networks in lead campaigns, placements with no conversions at noticeable spend, repeating addresses, and placements with an abnormal share of clicks. All of it is shown with the amounts for the period.

Where does the alert arrive?

On any of the 4 channels: email, Slack, Telegram, a browser notification. Channels and categories are set by each person individually, and there are quiet hours.

Set a cap on your first client and hear about overspend before it happens

The first 14 days are free on any plan and you do not need a card to start. Safe placements work from the first campaign, and pacing is watched from the first sync.
