AdShot Pro vs. Manual Screenshots: A Time-Audit Case Study

At AdShot Pro, we often talk about "saving time," but we wanted to put some hard numbers behind that claim. We conducted a week-long time audit with two mid-sized agencies handling similar campaign volumes (approx. 500 URLs per week).

The results were even more dramatic than we anticipated.

The Experiment Setup

• Group A (Manual): Used the standard workflow—Excel list, manual navigation, browser screenshots, manual renaming, and folder organization.
• Group B (AdShot Pro): Used the automated workflow—Bulkupload, automated cookie dismissal, and auto-generated reports.

The Findings

1. Preparation Time

• Group A: 45 minutes spent cleaning URLs and setting up local folders.
• Group B: 5 minutes spent formatting the CSV for upload.

2. Verification Execution

• Group A: 12 hours of active labor. Each URL took approximately 90 seconds to load, interact with the cookie banner, capture, and save.
• Group B: 15 minutes of "system time." The team spent 5 minutes starting the process and 10 minutes reviewing the results.

3. Reporting & Delivery

• Group A: 3 hours spent compiling screenshots into a client-facing PDF and correcting naming errors.
• Group B: 0 minutes. The automated Excel report was ready for sharing immediately.

The Bottom Line

Group B saved over 15 hours of labor in a single week.

What Could Your Team Do with 15 Extra Hours?

For most agencies, those 15 hours represent:

• Launching three additional client campaigns.
• Conducted deep-dive strategy sessions.
• Actually leaving the office on time on a Friday.

Switch to Automation

The math is simple. If you value your team's time, manual verification is an expense you can no longer afford.
