Instagram ad help needed

I'm working on three distinct Instagram ad campaigns and need someone experienced to help optimize them, as I've had mixed results so far. Travel Companion Campaign I'm an NYC entrepreneur planning trips to international destinations (Brazil, Mexico, Paris) and have created ads to find like-minded women interested in travel companionship. My ads feature aesthetically pleasing travel imagery with messaging around shared adventures. I'm seeking genuine connections with women who enjoy exploration and meaningful experiences. Music Video Casting I'm producing a music video with scenes in Central Park and need to cast several women for featured roles. The production has a vibey, sunset aesthetic similar to modern music videos. My initial ads generated strong interest (9 responses daily) but have recently dropped to just 1 per day, suggesting optimization issues that need addressing. Community Shabbat Dinners I'm organizing intimate sunset dinner gatherings with a spiritual/mindful atmosphere - no phones, just good conversation and connection. These dinners have a beautiful aesthetic with thoughtful food and meaningful interaction. My initial ad was rejected, likely due to terminology issues, and needs reworking while maintaining its essence. Current Results & Challenges I've spent approximately $400 across various campaigns with detailed metrics: NYC-targeted travel companion ad: 7 message conversations on $20 budget (~$2.85 per conversation) Mexico-targeted travel ad: 855 profile visits on $30 budget ($0.035 per visit) First music video ad: 17 message conversations on $300 budget ($17.65 per conversation) Recent music video ad: 1,528 website visits on $27.33 budget ($0.018 per visit) Another variation: 1,322 website visits on $30 budget ($0.023 per visit) Shabbat dinner ad: Rejected during review process before generating metrics The Instagram Ads Manager interface has been challenging to navigate, and I'm finding it difficult to properly adjust budgets, refine targeting, and understand performance metrics. Assistance Needed This is likely just an hour a week of work for the first few months - making small tweaks to ad copy, adjusting targeting parameters, optimizing budgets, and providing a simple weekly performance report to track what's working and what needs adjustment. The campaigns are already established and mainly need refinement rather than building from scratch.
