MGID’s CTR Guard: The AI-Powered Solution to Ad Fatigue

Ad fatigue is a real problem in digital ads — people get tired of seeing the same creatives over and over, and as a result, engagement drops. In fact, click-through rates can fall by 15% in just the first week. That means wasted budget and less impact.

Old-school fixes like A/B testing take time and manual work, which slows everything down.

That’s why MGID came up with CTR Guard — an AI-powered feature that spots when ads start underperforming and automatically creates fresh new creatives to keep things moving. It uses generative AI to catch performance drops early and tweak campaigns in real time, so you don’t lose momentum.

How CTR Guard Works

CTR Guard kicks in automatically when your ads start losing their edge. If your viewable CTR (vCTR) drops by 15% or more for three days straight, that’s a sign your ad’s burning out — and that’s when the AI steps up.

Here’s what it does:

  1. Smart algorithms scan your campaign data to spot early signs of ad fatigue.
  2. You’ll get a heads-up via email and your dashboard if your CTR starts to slip.

  1. Then, CTR Guard generates up to three new creatives to replace the ones that aren’t performing.
  2. You can review these AI-made creatives and either launch them manually or let Auto-Launch handle it for you.

Just a heads-up: CTR Guard only works with product and search feed campaigns. Plus, every AI-generated ad goes through moderation and is clearly labeled as an AI Generated Ad before showing up in your dashboard.

Smarter Automation, Your Way

Prefer full control or want things to run on autopilot? With CTR Guard, you don’t have to choose — you get both.

  • Keep your original CPC and CTA settings intact.
  • Want to tweak what the AI made? No problem — just note it’ll go through a quick moderation check before going live.
  • Launch creatives manually or turn on Auto-Launch for a hands-free experience.
  • Set budget and click limits for each AI-made ad, so your spend stays in check.

No Creative Spam — Just What You Need

To keep your workflow clean, CTR Guard knows when to stop generating new ads.

  • If AI-generated creatives aren’t launched, the system takes a break.
  • You’ll get a heads-up via email when that pause kicks in.
