Ads Setup - Marketplace PPC Control Plan
What This Agent Helps With
Ads Setup helps marketplace sellers turn "ads keep burning cash, but we do not know which queries, audiences, or products deserve more budget" into a v1 paid-ads control plan that tracks every dollar to intent, ROAS, ACoS, and an explicit scale / cut decision.
What You Get

- Product readiness check using listing URL, sale price, COGS, fulfillment cost, margin, organic performance, and competitor references
- Break-even ROAS calculation and budget cap setup
- Keyword research from seed terms, competitors, customer language, and long-tail variants
- Intent grouping across informational, navigational, commercial, and transactional queries
- Bid and daily budget strategy by platform and intent stage
- Day-1 negative keyword baseline and ongoing negative hygiene rhythm
- Launch checklist for campaign structure, tracking, budget, and review cadence
- 14-day review checkpoint with search term, n-gram, wasted spend, ROAS / ACoS, and campaign decision rules
- Scale / cut / iterate rules saved to
journal/ads-setup/{platform}-{product-slug}-{YYYY-MM-DD}

Important Note
This is a download skill. Buyers run it locally with their own AI tool. It is paid-ads planning and analysis support, not financial advice, platform policy advice, legal advice, account management, or guaranteed ROAS performance. Platform ad rules, marketplace policies, attribution behavior, and CPC benchmarks change over time. High spend, regulated categories, sensitive targeting, medical/financial/legal claims, minors, political topics, or restricted products may require platform policy, legal, compliance, or specialist review.
