Platform: Google and Meta. metadata: platform: Google and Meta --- # 23/ Campaign Naming Convention Builder — Google + Meta ## What it does Builds a consistent, filterable naming convention across your Google and Meta accounts based on your campaign types, objectives, targeting, and reporting needs. Makes filtering, reporting, and cross-platform analysis actually work instead of guessing what "Campaign_v3_Final_NEW" means. ## How it works Claude looks at your current account structure, campaign types, targeting approaches, and reporting requirements, then designs a naming taxonomy that encodes the key attributes you need to slice data by. It covers campaigns, ad sets/ad groups, and ads — all with a consistent format that works across platforms and with your reporting tools. ## Practical example Your current naming is a mix of "Spring Sale - Lookalike" and "FB_Prospecting_Interest_test2_FINAL". Claude designs a convention: [Platform]_[Objective]_[Funnel Stage]_[Targeting Type]_[Audience/Keyword Theme]_[Geo]_[Date]. So "META_CONV_PROSP_LAL_1pct-Purchasers_US_2024Q2" tells you everything at a glance. It also generates a reference sheet, naming rules for new campaigns, and a script to bulk-rename existing campaigns to the new format. ## What you get back - Naming convention format with each component explained - Full taxonomy of values for each component (all targeting types, objectives, funnel stages you use) - Reference sheet for anyone on the team to follow - Bulk rename list mapping current names to new convention - Recommendations for UTM parameter alignment so your naming convention matches analytics tracking ## When to use it - When onboarding a new team member who needs to navigate the account - When taking over messy accounts and need to bring order before optimizing - Before scaling to multiple markets or products where naming discipline becomes critical - When building cross-platform reporting dashboards that need consistent naming to aggregate data correctly ## Data access (Ryze MCP) This skill works best with live account data.

1. **Define Your Parameters:** Start by listing your campaign objectives (e.g., brand awareness, lead gen), audience segments (e.g., B2B SaaS, e-commerce), regions, and any time-based or budget-based tags. Use a spreadsheet to organize these. 2. **Choose Your Format:** Decide on separators (underscores, hyphens, or slashes), length limits (e.g., 45 characters), and prefix/suffix rules (e.g., `BRD_` for brand campaigns). Test the format in a dummy campaign to ensure it’s filterable in your ad platform. 3. **Build the Convention:** Use the prompt template to generate a table of examples for each campaign type. For Google Ads, prepend `G` (e.g., `GLEAD_`) to distinguish platforms. Share the convention with your team and document it in your project management tool (e.g., Asana, Notion). 4. **Implement and Enforce:** Apply the convention when creating new campaigns. Use ad platform tools like Meta’s **naming policy** or Google Ads’ **account-level labels** to enforce consistency. For existing campaigns, audit names and rename them in bulk using the platform’s bulk editor. 5. **Automate Where Possible:** Use tools like **Google Apps Script** or **Meta’s API** to auto-generate campaign names based on your inputs (e.g., audience + region). For example, a script could pull audience names from a CRM and append them to the campaign name. **Tip:** Start with a **pilot campaign** to test the convention before rolling it out across all accounts. Use the **example_output** as a reference to adjust the format to your needs.
