How do I optimize cross-platform ad budgets across Google, Meta, and LinkedIn?

Cross-platform ad budget optimization requires analyzing spend distribution and bidding strategy across active campaigns. This Skill evaluates your Google, Meta, LinkedIn, TikTok, and Microsoft ads to generate a Budget & Bidding Assessment, identifying scaling opportunities and flagging campaigns to kill based on performance.

When should I kill or scale a campaign using the 3x Kill Rule?

You should kill or scale a campaign by evaluating its MER against your target metrics. The 3x Kill Rule flags campaigns for elimination, while the 20% scaling rule identifies campaigns ready for budget increases, producing actionable Kill and Scale lists for ongoing optimization.

Can I use the 70/20/10 budget rule for TikTok and Microsoft ads?

Yes, the 70/20/10 budget rule applies to TikTok and Microsoft ads. This Skill assesses spend distribution across digital marketing campaigns on these platforms, evaluating automated and manual bidding approaches to structure your budget allocation decisions and improve efficiency.

What's the best way to reallocate budget for an underperforming campaign to hit target ROAS?

The best way to reallocate budget for target ROAS is applying the 70/20/10 rule alongside bidding strategy evaluation. This Skill analyzes your current spend summary across active campaigns to output an actionable budget and bidding plan, reducing waste and scaling ROI.

Why does my digital marketing campaign waste spend without a kill list?

Digital marketing campaigns waste spend without a kill list because underperforming ads continuously drain budget. This Skill implements a 3x Kill Rule and MER analysis to flag inefficient campaigns, streamlining cross-channel ad budgets and reducing waste.
