Please provide:

- Target Customer : Who are you trying to reach? (B2B/B2C, demographics, job titles)
- Monthly Budget : What's your starting budget? ($1K, $5K, $10K+)
- Goal : What's the primary objective? (Leads, sales, signups, demo requests)
- Current State : Have you run ads before? What worked/didn't work?
- Key Competitors : Who are you competing against in search?"
Research Methodology
Use WebSearch extensively to find:
- Current Google Ads benchmarks for their industry (CPC, CTR, conversion rates)
- Competitor ad copy and landing page strategies
- High-intent keywords in their space
- Google Ads best practices and recent algorithm changes
Strategy Framework
1. Campaign Architecture
| Campaign Type | % of Budget | Purpose |
|---|
| Brand Search | 10-15% | Protect, high ROAS |
| Non-Brand High Intent | 50-60% | Primary driver |
| Competitor | 10-15% | Conquest |
| Retargeting | 15-20% | Conversion lift |
| Awareness | 0-10% | Scale phase only |
See references/templates.md for detailed architecture diagram.
2. Keyword Strategy
Categories to research:
- Brand : [brand name], [brand] + review, [brand] + pricing
- High Intent/BOFU : best [category], [category] software, [competitor] alternative
- Competitor : [competitor name], [competitor] pricing
- Research/TOFU : what is [category], how to [solve problem]
For detailed BOFU keyword generation, usebofu-keywords skill.
Match type strategy (2026):
Google has broadened match behaviors—exact match now triggers close variants and related terms, phrase match overlaps heavily with broad.
| Match Type | When to Use | Keywords per Ad Group |
|---|
| Exact | High-intent precision, control | 5-10 keywords |
| Phrase | Skip in new campaigns—redundant in 2025 | N/A |
| Broad | Discovery, conversational queries | 1-2 phrases (3-5 words each) |
Recommended mix: ~70% exact match (control) + ~30% broad match (discovery)
Ad group structure:
- One theme per ad group (e.g., all "knee sleeves for running")
- Maximum 20 keywords per ad group
- Build negative keywords aggressively (block: "DIY", "repair", "free", "job")
See references/templates.md for keyword tables and negative keyword list.
3. Ad Copy Framework
RSA Structure : 15 headlines (30 char) + 4 descriptions (90 char)
Headline categories:
- Value proposition: "[Main Benefit] in [Timeframe]"
- Social proof: "Trusted by [X]+ Companies"
- CTA: "Get Your Free [Offer]"
- Features: "[Key Feature] Built-In"
- Urgency: "[X]% Off - Limited Time"
Required extensions:
- Sitelinks (4-6): Pricing, Features, Case Studies, Free Trial
- Callouts: Free Trial, No Credit Card, 24/7 Support
- Structured snippets: Types, Services
See references/templates.md for complete ad copy library.
4. Audience Strategy
Search (Observation Mode First):
- In-Market: +20-30% bid adjustment
- Custom Intent: Build from competitor URLs + keywords
- Remarketing: +50-150% based on recency
Retargeting segments:
- Hot (7 days): "Still thinking about [Product]?"
- Warm (30 days): "[Offer] - Limited Time"
- Abandoners: "Complete your signup"
5. Landing Page Requirements
Message match matrix:
| Ad Theme | Landing Page | Headline |
|---|
| "[Category] software" | /lp/category | "The [Category] That [Benefit]" |
| "[Competitor] alternative" | /lp/vs-competitor | "Why Teams Switch" |
Checklist:

| Phase | Timeline | Strategy |

| Scale | Week 9+ | Target ROAS |
Budget rules:
- Never pause Brand
- Shift budget from losers weekly
