Optimize ad campaigns across platforms
Negative keywords and conversion tracking went into one person's self storage ad campaigns on Google, Meta and Microsoft after a few hours with Muse, most of it spent logging in, according to their post on X. Weekly reports are promised, but no spend or results are given yet, so judge changes against your own numbers.
What you can get
What it is
Ad campaign review and weekly report
Negative keywords removed from live campaigns, conversion tracking set up across platforms, and a recurring report recommending where to put budget, with you approving any change in spend.
It came back right when
- Negative keywords added were reviewed before going live, not applied automatically.
- Conversion tracking is confirmed working on each platform it was set up for.
- The recurring report arrives on schedule with specific recommendations, not vague summaries.
- No budget was reallocated between platforms without your approval.
The checks are editorial, not from the source.
- Connect the platforms
Login access to each ad account you want covered.
- Review keywords and negativesStops for your approval
Flagged for spend without conversion, reviewed before going live.
- Set up conversion trackingStops for your approval
Checked working on each platform before relying on its numbers.
- Start the recurring reportStops for your approval
A schedule, the report uses weekly, with recommendations you approve before acting.
Editorial, not from the source
Works when
- You run ads on more than one platform and keyword cleanup has fallen behind
- You're willing to handle the login and connection step yourself
- You want a recurring report rather than automatic budget changes
Does not work when
- You want budget moved automatically based on the report, without your approval
- You don't have admin access to your own ad accounts
- You need tracking changes made without any review, especially if they affect reporting you rely on elsewhere

The source case
On X, @ChuckBuc2 reports using Muse, which they call Cubby, to refine ad campaigns for a self storage business across Google, Facebook/Meta and Bing/Microsoft: tuning keywords, refining searches, adding negative keywords they say were burning spend, and setting up conversion tracking. They say it will send weekly reports tracking performance and recommending where to allocate spend, and that the work took a few hours, mostly spent connecting and logging into each platform. The post names the business type and the three ad platforms but gives no specific keywords, spend figures, or results from the changes yet. Checked on 2026-10-09, it is one individual's report, not evidence of what any account will show after similar changes.

From the source
Source excerpt
Just used @Muse to refine all of my ads for Self Storage (Google, Facebook/Meta, Bing/Microsoft). Fine tuned keywords, refined searches, added negative keywords that were burning spend, and set up conversion tracking. It'll send me weekly reports tracking performance and recommending where to allocate dollars. Took a few hours and mostly connecting / logging in and telling me what to ask Cubby to set up tracking. Pretty cool stuff.

What you need
Editorial, not from the source
You supply
- Which ad platforms and accounts to work on
- Current campaigns, keywords and budget
- How often you want a performance report
Connected
- Login access to each ad platform, the report uses Google, Facebook/Meta, Bing/Microsoft
- Conversion tracking access on your site or store
Approved by you
- Your review of proposed negative keywords before they go live
- Your approval of any budget reallocation between platforms or campaigns
How to try it
Editorial, not from the source
- Give the agent access to each ad platform you run campaigns on, the report uses Google, Facebook/Meta and Bing/Microsoft, and be ready to handle the logins yourself.
- Have it review current keywords and search terms for each platform and flag ones that are spending without converting, rather than removing them unreviewed.
- Review the proposed negative keywords and any conversion tracking setup before they go live, especially anything that touches tracking across multiple platforms.
- Set up a recurring report, the source uses a weekly one, that tracks performance and recommends where to shift budget rather than shifting it automatically.
- Approve any change in how budget is allocated between platforms or campaigns yourself, rather than letting a recommendation become a change on its own.
Connecting accounts is most of the work
The report behind this page is specific about where the time actually went: a few hours, mostly spent connecting and logging into each ad platform rather than doing the keyword work itself. That's worth planning for rather than treating as a footnote. Running ads across Google, Facebook/Meta and Bing/Microsoft, as in the report, or any similar combination, means handling separate logins, permissions and account structures for each one before an agent can review or change anything. Budget the time for that step specifically, and expect the actual optimization, once access is in place, to move faster than the setup did. Underestimating the connection work is the most common way this task runs longer than expected.
Negative keywords need a review, not just a scan
Adding negative keywords, search terms that trigger an ad without leading to a result worth the spend, is one of the more mechanical parts of this task, and also one where a careless pass can cause real damage. A keyword that looks like pure waste in isolation might still be bringing in some of your actual converting traffic, especially for a business with a narrow or seasonal customer base. Have the agent flag candidates for negative keywords rather than remove them outright, and check the list against campaigns you already know are performing before anything goes live. The report says these were burning spend; confirm that's true for your account specifically before cutting them.
A weekly report is a recommendation, not a budget change
The report describes a recurring output, a weekly report tracking performance and recommending where to allocate dollars, as the ongoing value of the setup, separate from the one-time cleanup of keywords and tracking. Treat that report the way it's actually described: a recommendation worth reading closely, not a change that happens on its own the moment it lands in your inbox. Shifting budget between platforms or campaigns has real consequences, campaigns that were slowly building momentum can stall badly if funding is pulled too early, so compare the recommendation against what you're actually seeing in each platform's own dashboard before approving any shift, rather than acting on a weekly summary alone without that cross-check.

Limits and confirmation points
Limits to confirm
- One attributed report naming the business type and three platforms, but no specific keywords, spend amounts, or results from the changes; it says only that the work took a few hours, mostly connecting accounts.
- This depends on having working access and logins to each ad platform; the report notes that was most of the time spent, not the keyword work itself.
- A weekly report recommending budget allocation is a recommendation, not an automatic change; nothing here establishes that following it improves results for any account.
- Nothing here authorizes a change in ad spend or budget allocation across platforms without your approval.
Stop and check
Editorial, not from the source
- Before changes go live: proposed negative keywords and tracking setup reviewed.
- On the reporting schedule: a recommendation comes in, not an automatic change.
- Before budget moves between platforms or campaigns: get your approval.
If it goes wrong
Editorial, not from the source
- Logging into each ad platform takes longer than the actual keyword work
- Set aside time for the connection step itself; the report notes this was most of the few hours spent, not the optimization.
- A negative keyword removes traffic you actually wanted
- Review the list before it goes live and check it against campaigns you know are working, not just ones flagged as underperforming.
- The weekly report's budget recommendation doesn't match what you're seeing in the platform dashboards
- Check the recommendation against your own platform data before approving a budget shift, since reporting can lag or be scoped differently.
Common questions
Can Muse really optimize ad campaigns across platforms?
One user reports using it to refine keywords, add negative keywords, and set up conversion tracking across Google, Facebook/Meta and Bing/Microsoft for a self storage business, plus a weekly performance report. It's one individual report.
How long does this take?
The report says a few hours, mostly spent connecting and logging into each ad platform rather than doing the optimization itself.
Will it remove keywords without me checking first?
It shouldn't. Review proposed negative keywords against campaigns you know are working before they go live.
Does the weekly report move my budget automatically?
No. Treat it as a recommendation to review against your own platform data, and approve any budget shift yourself.
Does this work for ad platforms besides Google, Facebook/Meta and Bing?
Unspecified. The report names those three; whether the same approach works the same way on other platforms isn't established here.
