# Winning Ad Iterator
The fastest path to a new winning ad is almost never a brand-new idea. It is the current winner with one thing changed. A winner already proves the product, the angle and the audience click. Iterations keep what works and test one new variable at a time, so every result teaches something.
## Step 1: Find the real winners
Ask for an **ad level export of the last 60-90 days** (steps in `references/export-guide.md`). A longer window means more ads clear the spend floor. If the user has no export, skip to Step 2 with screenshots of the ads they believe are winning, and say the pick is theirs, not data-backed.How to install

FAQ
Iterating winning ads, answered.
How do I make new versions of a winning Facebook ad?
Change one thing at a time and keep everything else identical: the hook, the format, the angle, the visual or the customer you write for. Then a win or a loss tells you something. This skill builds 5 of these from your winner.
How do I find my best performing Facebook ad?
Rank prospecting sales ads by ROAS, or by cost per purchase if your export has no purchase value. Only count ads that spent at least 2x your cost per purchase, or 2% of total ad spend if that is higher, so one lucky sale can't win. Retargeting ads go in a separate list because their ROAS always looks better.
What should I test first in a Facebook ad?
The hook. A new first line or first frame with the same body is the cheapest test and often the biggest gain. Format, angle, visual and audience come next.
Should new ad variations go in a new campaign or the same ad set?
The same ad set as the winner, with the winner still running. A new campaign or ad set starts from zero. Launch 3 at a time if the ad set spends under about 50 a day, all 5 above that.
How long should I test a new ad before judging it?
Leave new ads 7 days without edits. Then compare each one to the winner on the same measure you ranked by. Iterations that beat it become the next winner.
Does the skill write the ad copy too?
Yes. Each iteration comes with primary text, a headline of up to 40 characters, a description and a short image prompt for feed and Story sizes. Bullets only use facts you gave it or that are on your product page.
