Paid Ads Software for Local Agencies — SoloCMO
Ads · 5 modules

Every campaign teaches the next one.

Model the funnel before the money moves. Write to a named awareness stage. Keep every ad with the hook it used and the numbers it returned. Then find out which stage is actually costing you.

The problem

Ads are where a solo operator's credibility gets tested fastest.

SEO failing is slow and arguable. Ads failing is a bill. The money leaves every day, the client watches it leave, and by week three somebody wants to know what came back.

And nothing accumulates. Every ad you've ever written lives in an account you'll never open again, with the numbers separated from the thinking that produced them. Three years in, you have a great deal of experience and no way to consult it.

The system

Four modules, one loop.

Each hands something specific to the next, and the last one hands real numbers back to the first. That circuit is the difference between running campaigns and getting better at running them.

01 · plan

Model it

Build the funnel on a canvas and watch visitors, revenue and return cascade through at the rates you set — before any money moves.

Hands over: the targets each stage must hit

02 · create

Write it

Copy built for a named awareness stage and a defined avatar, in three lengths at once, with the psychological hook stated rather than implied.

Hands over: an ad with its hook labelled

03 · keep

Log it

Every ad stored with its hook, its funnel stage and the numbers it returned — so the creative decision and the result stay attached.

Hands over: which angles actually work

04 · diagnose

Fix it

Five stages scored against benchmarks, choke points named, and a fix list ordered by recoverable revenue rather than by which number looks worst.

Hands back: the real conversion rates

The diagnosis feeds the next model. Which is why the second campaign for a client is built on measured rates instead of assumptions, and the fifth is built on a record no competitor has.

01 · plan

Do the math before you spend the money.

Two thousand a month sounds reasonable, so two thousand a month it is. Almost nobody works out what that has to produce at each stage to be worth doing — because doing it properly means a spreadsheet nobody wants to build.

Drag the stages onto a canvas instead, set the rates, and the arithmetic runs itself. Then build the version where the landing page converts at three percent rather than six, and see whether it still pays.

  • Seventeen elements — traffic sources, twelve page types, three revenue steps
  • Cost per lead, cost per job, average order value and ROAS on screen
  • Scenarios side by side, so a conservative model sits next to the optimistic one
  • A budget request backed by arithmetic the client watched you build
02 & 03 · create and keep

Name the mechanism, then measure it.

Generic AI ad copy is a targeting problem, not a writing problem — it doesn't know who's reading or what state they're in. So the awareness stage is chosen before a word is written, and the psychological hook is stated on the output rather than left implicit.

Which matters twice. Once because you can defend the creative on a client call. And again because a hook with a name is a hook you can attach numbers to.

  • Five awareness stages, plus a blended three-act build for mixed cold traffic
  • Long, medium and short-form written together, each to its own placement limit
  • A creative brief with the strategic reasoning for whoever makes the image
  • A hundred headlines across twenty angles, tagged and character-counted
  • Every ad saved with its hook, its funnel stage and its logged performance
  • Ads Manager can tell you an ad returned 3.5x. It can't tell you why.
04 · diagnose

The biggest gap isn't the biggest opportunity.

Five stages scored against published benchmarks that adjust for consumer or business audiences. Booking rate six points under, show-up rate eight — but a leak early in the funnel compounds through every stage after it, so the fix order isn't the order the gaps suggest.

Then the number that ends the budget conversation.

The clients, from the exact same spend

End-to-end visitor-to-client rate if every choke stage reaches benchmark. No extra budget in the argument at all — which is a far better thing to bring to a client than a request for more.

Root cause

Why, in their industry

Not generic funnel advice. Why families researching care for a parent abandon a booking step, specifically — the context a checklist can't produce.

Action items

Quick win or structural

Every fix tagged with whether it's an afternoon or a project, so the easy recoveries happen this week rather than waiting on a rebuild.

Protect

What not to touch

A landing page at benchmark while booking leaks should be left alone. More leads into a broken middle spends the budget faster — advice against an agency's own instinct.

In this system

All five modules.

Four are live today. Search advertising is in the roadmap and marked as such in the app.

Every module is on every plan. Plans differ only in how many clients you run.

Shared context

It starts from a client you've already defined.

The avatar, the positioning and the offer exist before the first ad does — built once in strategy and reused across content, local and paid. Which is why the generator asks what state the reader is in rather than who the client is.

Questions

Ads, answered straight.

What makes this different from an ad copy generator?
Generating copy is one of four modules. The others model the funnel before you spend, keep every ad with the numbers it returned, and diagnose which stage is actually losing the money. Copy on its own doesn't tell you whether the campaign can work.
Why does naming the hook matter?
Because a name can be measured. Every ad records the psychological hook it used and the awareness stage it targeted, so when the numbers are logged you can see which angles win for a particular kind of buyer — a question ad platforms cannot answer, since they don't hold that classification.
Is Google Search Ads available?
Not yet — it's in the roadmap and marked as coming soon in the app. The four live modules cover funnel modelling, paid social creative, the ad library with performance logging, and funnel diagnosis.
Is this suitable for small local budgets?
It's built for them. At a few thousand a month there's no room to buy your way out of a weak offer or a broken booking page, which is exactly why modelling first and diagnosing properly matter more at small budgets than large ones.
Does it connect to my ad account?
Performance figures are entered against each saved ad rather than pulled automatically. It's a couple of minutes at the point you're already reviewing the account, and it's what turns a folder of old ads into a record you can reason from.

Every plan includes every module.

There are no feature gates. Plans differ only in how many clients you run and how much you generate for them.
