SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Running paid ads without a system leads to wasted budget, junk leads, and emotional kill/scale decisions. This Skill provides platform-specific playbooks, quantified decision thresholds, and campaign structure guidance so every advertising decision is grounded in unit economics rather than guesswork. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Platform Playbooks: Operational rules for Google Search (intent ladder, match types, negatives, PMax guardrails), Meta (TCPL-anchored kill/keep/scale decision system, fatigue bands, Advantage+ transition), LinkedIn (bidding progression, audience sizing, thought leader ads), and ABM (named-account targeting, pipeline acceleration, cross-channel UTM remarketing). - B2B Demand Lifecycle: Budget allocation across Create, Capture, Accelerate, Revive, and Expand stages, with breakeven CPL/CPC math, lead quality scoring (Urgency/Budget/Fit), and the offline conversion loop to stop smart bidding from buying junk form-fills. - Creative & Retargeting Frameworks: Modern Meta creative-as-targeting playbook, identity-trigger keywords, 4-component retargeting system, and headline-mirroring for landing page alignment. - Use Case: A B2B SaaS team spending $15k/month asks whether to kill an underperforming Meta ad. The Skill loads the Meta decision system, checks spend against 3x TCPL, evaluates qualified-lead rate from the CRM, and returns a kill/iterate/scale decision with a staged replacement plan. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to build a paid ads strategy for your product, including platform selection, budget allocation, campaign structure, and kill rules based on your target CPA.

Frequently Asked Questions about ads

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I decide when to kill an underperforming Meta ad?

Use the TCPL-anchored decision system: wait until an ad has spent at least 3x your target cost per qualified lead, then kill it if it has zero qualified leads, a qualified rate under 40%, or a cost per qualified lead above 1.5x target. Never pause without a staged replacement.

Which ad platform should I use for B2B lead generation?

LinkedIn offers the most precise B2B targeting by job title and company but at the highest CPMs, Google Search captures existing high-intent demand, and Meta provides cheaper reach for demand generation and retargeting. A common split is roughly 60% LinkedIn, 30% Meta, 10% other for ABM motions.

How do I structure Google Ads campaigns for many keywords?

Split campaigns by intent tier with independent budgets: brand, high-intent non-brand, competitor, and remarketing. Use themed ad groups of 5-15 closely related keywords, start with phrase and exact match, and only introduce broad match after 30+ conversions per month with smart bidding and a tight negative list.

Why are my Meta lead form leads low quality?

Frictionless auto-filled forms produce leads who do not remember converting. Switch to the Higher Intent form type, require a work email that cannot auto-fill, add 1-3 qualification questions, and import CRM outcomes back to the platform so the algorithm optimizes for pipeline instead of form-fills.

When should I not scale my ad budget?

Do not scale when proven-ad inventory is below the minimum (roughly monthly budget divided by $5,000), account frequency exceeds 3.0, or cost per qualified lead has been above target within the last two weeks. Increase budgets by about 20% every 5 days, never 30% or more at once.

Does this Skill generate ad copy and creative variations?

Bulk ad creative generation is handled by the separate ad-creative skill. This Skill covers campaign strategy, targeting, bidding, and optimization, and includes copy frameworks and templates, but defers large-scale headline and description generation to ad-creative.
