When the user wants to set up, optimize, or manage Google Ads campaigns. Also use when the user mentions "Google Ads," "Google Search Ads," "PPC," "SEM," "PMF testing with ads," "test product-market fit," "Responsive Search Ads," "RSA," "Performance Max," "Quality Score," "keyword bidding," or "Google Display/YouTube ads." For paid mix, use paid-ads-strategy.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Paid Ads: Google Ads

Guides Google Ads setup, campaign structure, keyword targeting, and optimization. Google Ads excels at high-intent search traffic; use when people actively search for your solution.

**When invoking**: On **first use**, if helpful, open with 1–2 sentences on what this skill covers and why it matters, then provide the main output. On **subsequent use** or when the user asks to skip, go directly to the main output.

## Two Modes: PMF Testing vs Conversion-Driven

| Mode | When | Budget | Landing page | Metrics |
|------|------|--------|--------------|---------|
| **PMF testing** | Pre-PMF; validate idea before building | $47–500; start small | Simple LP: headline, benefits, problem solved, CTA ("Join Waitlist," "Get Early Access") | CTR, sign-up rate, bounce rate; low CTR/high bounce = messaging/positioning issue |
| **Conversion-driven** | PMF validated; commercialization | Scale; ROAS target | Full funnel; ad-to-page alignment | ROAS, CAC, conversion rate |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add kostja94/marketing-skills/google-ads@sha256:6d729ce6381c04b4

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.4.1, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
