Automation decides where the money goes. Someone still has to decide what it is allowed to do.
Performance Max and AI Max will spend your budget with or without supervision. The work that matters now is the work that constrains and feeds them: what the campaign is permitted to match, what data it optimises toward, what the destination does with the traffic, and whether the conversion you are paying for is the conversion you actually want.
Conversion definition audited before budget decisions — optimising toward the wrong event is the most expensive error in the account
PMax and AI Max asset groups constrained by brand exclusions, location and text guidelines rather than left open
Search term and query-matching review as an ongoing discipline under automated matching
Destination pages built by the same team, so post-click performance is a fixable variable rather than a complaint
Attribution reconciled against a source of truth outside the ad platform

Does not own
This service underperforms on its own. It is one stage of a loop, and the two practices below are the ones it depends on.
Studio
Every discipline has a boundary. A Meta Ads specialist does not edit your video. An editor does not set your bidding strategy.
The specialists who do the workSend the site, the ad account, and what is not working. You will get a specialist's read, not a sales deck.
