SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Deciding where to spend ad budget, which bidding strategy to use per platform, and when to kill or scale campaigns is error-prone without a structured framework, leading to wasted spend on underperforming campaigns. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Budget Allocation Review: Evaluates spend distribution against the 70/20/10 rule (proven/scaling/testing channels) with platform selection matrices by business type. - Bidding Strategy Evaluation: Applies decision trees for Google, Meta, LinkedIn, TikTok, and Microsoft bidding based on conversion volume thresholds. - Kill/Scale Decisions: Flags campaigns using the 3x Kill Rule and 20% scaling rule, with data sufficiency validation before recommendations. - Use Case: A growth marketer managing Google, Meta, and LinkedIn campaigns asks for a budget review; the skill validates 14+ days of spend data, scores allocation health, and outputs a BUDGET-STRATEGY-REPORT.md with kill and scale lists plus MER analysis. ## Quick Start Review my current ad budget allocation and bidding strategies across Google and Meta, and tell me which campaigns to kill or scale.

Frequently Asked Questions about ads-budget

FAQPage Schema
How do I decide how to allocate budget across ad platforms?

Use the 70/20/10 rule: allocate 70% to proven channels meeting ROAS/CPA targets, 20% to scaling channels showing promise, and 10% to testing new platforms or audiences. Platform selection depends on business type, such as Google Search and LinkedIn for B2B SaaS.

When should I switch from Maximize Clicks to Target CPA on Google Ads?

Start with Maximize Clicks below 30 conversions per month, move to Maximize Conversions at 30-50 conversions, then adopt Target CPA above 50 conversions per month. Target ROAS requires active revenue tracking plus over 50 monthly conversions.

When should I pause an underperforming ad campaign?

Pause campaigns when CPA exceeds 3x target with at least 7 days of data and 20 clicks, or when spend reaches $100 or 50 clicks with zero conversions. Creatives with CTR below 50% of platform benchmark after 1,000 impressions should also be killed.

How much can I increase ad budget without breaking performance?

Never increase budget by more than 20% at a time, following the 20% rule. Monitor performance for 3-5 days after each increase to confirm CPA and ROAS stability before the next increment.

What is MER and how does it differ from ROAS?

MER (Marketing Efficiency Ratio) is total revenue divided by total marketing spend, measuring blended efficiency across all platforms. Unlike per-platform ROAS, MER evaluates overall marketing health, with typical targets of 3x-10x depending on margins.
