What's inside the 14 pages

  1. 01

    The opportunity

    How ads appear below ChatGPT answers, what the user sees, and why Clicks is the right first objective.

  2. 03

    Campaign architecture

    Campaign, ad group, ad. The three intent clusters (Learn / Compare / Delegate) to launch with, and why.

  3. 04

    Context hints

    Describe the moment, not the market. Weak vs strong hints side by side, plus a starter hint bank.

  4. 05

    The control creative

    Title, body and landing-page promise that make one concrete claim and pass review.

  5. 06

    Landing page

    Message match beats clever copy. The three conversion rules and the post-opt-in qualification.

  6. 09

    Measurement

    CTR, CPC, LP CVR, CPL, qualified CPL, CAC. Pixel, Conversions API, UTMs, deduplication checklist.

  7. 10

    30-day operating plan

    Week 0 instrument, week 1 launch, week 2 diagnose, week 3 iterate, week 4 decide. The decision hierarchy.

  8. 11

    Test matrix

    Three compliant angles to start (outcome, novelty, risk) and what you are never allowed to claim.

Good fit

You have an offer that already converts somewhere else, a landing page you control, and enough budget to run a real 30-day test.

Poor fit

No proven demand yet, no conversion tracking, or you expect guaranteed results from a channel that is still in beta. The playbook will tell you so.

One email. No call.
