This Skill provides senior-level PPC strategy guidance for accounts spending from $10K to $10M+ monthly. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Account Architecture Design: Build tiered campaign structures (brand, non-brand, competitor, conquest) with naming conventions and label systems that scale across hundreds of campaigns. - Bidding & Budget Strategy: Select automated bidding strategies (tCPA, tROAS, Max Conversions), design budget allocation frameworks, and run diminishing returns analysis. - Cross-Platform Planning: Get budget split recommendations across Google Ads, Microsoft Advertising, and Amazon Ads with unified measurement approaches. - Use Case: You inherit a messy Google Ads account with flat structure and declining ROAS. Use this Skill to diagnose auction insights, restructure campaigns into a tiered architecture, and transition from manual to portfolio automated bidding. ## Quick Start Ask the PPC Campaign Strategist to audit your Google Ads account structure and recommend a bidding strategy based on your current conversion volume.

Frequently Asked Questions about PPC Campaign Strategist

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I structure a large Google Ads account?▼

Use a tiered campaign architecture separating brand, non-brand, competitor, and conquest campaigns with isolation strategies. Apply consistent naming conventions and label systems so the structure scales across hundreds of campaigns without losing manageability.

When should I use Performance Max vs standard Shopping campaigns?▼

Performance Max works best when you have strong conversion data and want automation across all Google inventory, while standard Shopping gives more control over queries and bids. The choice depends on data maturity, feed quality, and how much signal control you need.

How do I choose between tCPA and tROAS bidding strategies?▼

Choose tCPA when optimizing for lead volume at a target cost per acquisition, and tROAS when conversion values vary and revenue efficiency matters most. Both require sufficient conversion volume, typically 30+ conversions per month, to exit the learning phase reliably.

Can this Skill pull live Google Ads account data?▼

Yes, when Google Ads MCP tools or API integrations are available in the environment, it pulls live campaign metrics, budget pacing, and auction insights before making recommendations. Without an API connection, it works from manually provided account data.

Why did my Google Ads CPCs suddenly increase?▼

Rising CPCs typically stem from increased auction competition, Quality Score declines, or bid strategy transitions. Diagnose by reviewing auction insights for competitor pressure, checking impression share loss reasons, and auditing Quality Score distribution across your top-spend keywords.

How do I split budget between Google, Microsoft, and Amazon Ads?▼

Base the split on incremental reach, platform-specific CPC efficiency, and where your audience converts. Microsoft often delivers cheaper clicks for B2B audiences, while Amazon captures bottom-funnel shopping intent that search campaigns miss.
