The problem — and how this kit solves it.
The Problem
Instagram placements perform differently: Reels deliver different engagement than Stories, Feed, or Explore. Running a single campaign across all placements hides which surfaces drive results. Manual placement-level optimization is time-consuming and data-intensive.
The Solution
This agent uses a general optimization profile restricted to Instagram surfaces. It evaluates performance across Reels, Stories, Feed, and Explore placements every 4 hours, then adjusts budgets to shift spend toward the Instagram placements delivering the best results for your campaign objective.
The Outcome
Maximize Instagram ad performance by automatically funding the placements — Reels, Stories, Feed, or Explore — that deliver the strongest results.
