What it does
Claude Ads is a free skill for Claude Code aimed at advertising work. You give it exports, screenshots or summaries from your ad accounts, and it reports what is working, what is broken and what to fix first.
It covers twelve ad platforms, including Google, Meta, YouTube, LinkedIn, TikTok and Amazon. It can also help plan budgets, draft ad copy and briefs, design tests and keep watch on spending.
Its makers say it reads your data and reports back, but doesn't change your accounts on its own. Every check is marked passed, failed, unknown or not applicable.
Who it's for
Marketing agencies, consultants and in-house teams who run paid ads and use Claude Code.
