Budget gone in an hour with no conversions? Three leak zones – campaign settings, audience and bids, landing page – plus a 15-minute pre-launch fuse protocol.

Scaling without the crash: the +20-30% rule, vertical and horizontal vectors, unit-economics control at every step, and the signs your funnel hit its ceiling.

“Is a 300% ROAS good?” Nobody knows. At a 20% margin it’s a loss; at 60% it’s a gold mine. Until you’ve done the unit economics, every dashboard number is just a number: you don’t know your bid ceiling, how far you can scale, or which channel actually feeds the business. A media buyer who…

In Search you compete with ads, in feeds with creatives — but in product ads the winner is decided by something invisible in the dashboard: the feed.
