CTR Guard: Boosting Performance

CTR Guard is a performance feature in Adskeeper AdSpace that keeps your campaigns fresh by automatically proposing new ad creatives when results start to dip. It replaces manual guesswork with data-driven, AI-generated variations, saving time and helping sustain performance. 

How it Works

CTR Guard listens to campaign-level signals and, when criteria are met, instantly produces four new creatives.  Here are the triggers:

Trigger 1: Ad Burnout

If a creative has run for at least 10 days and its vCTR falls by 15% or more over the last three days, the system marks it as burned out and creates replacement variations. 

Trigger 2: Low Active Ad Volume

If a campaign is down to only 1–2 active ads, CTR Guard treats it as underloaded and generates fresh creatives based on your best performer to strengthen rotation.

Availability: CTR Guard supports product and search feed campaigns. All auto-generated ads pass moderation and are labeled “CTR Guard” in your dashboard. 

What Gets Generated

Using the live creative as a source, CTR Guard produces:

  • Titles & descriptions, which are AI-powered texts in your campaign’s language. 
  • Two image versions:

The first image version is a landing-page-based version. It uses content from the landing page or keywords for AFD feeds to generate a visually distinct, product-matching image. Often produces newer angles that can outperform the original image.

The second image version is an image-based version. It’s a fresher-looking creative that generated more visual similarity, but a new variation. 

  • Two types that mix AI and original media:

Hybrid 1: New AI image + original title;

Hybrid 2: Original image + new AI title and description.

CTR Guard Panel

From the CTR Guard panel, you and your account manager can:

  • Switch between gallery and table views.
  • See why each creative was generated (e.g., Ad Burnout, Low Volume).
  • Filter by campaign and status.
  • Jump to the source campaign via a direct link.
  • View and toggle account-level generation status.
  • Spot anything new at a glance - unseen creatives are marked with a blue dot and a counter in the side menu.

    Client Control

    By default, newly generated creatives are paused—you decide what goes live. They inherit the campaign’s CPC settings. You can:

    • Manually add creatives to rotation.
    • Edit and resubmit them for moderation.
    • Copy ads to other campaigns.

    CTR Guard maintains high performance with fresh AI-built options, while you retain full control over launch.
