How it opens
Most ad problems are page problems wearing an ad costume. Fifteen checks that walk the exact path a paying click takes: promise in the ad, promise on the page, proof, price, and the one-second test that predicts bounce before you spend.
That is page one, unedited. The remaining 4 sections carry the thresholds, the tables and the fixes.
Who this is for
- Store owners buying paid traffic
- Landing page builders
- Media buyers blamed for page problems
Where this came from
Not theory and not a summary of someone else's blog post. Every checklist here came out of an account I actually run, and the thresholds are the ones I use on a Monday morning.

Questions
What does it cost?
Nothing. There is no paid tier behind it and no call to book at the end.
What format is it?
A checklist pdf you can download and keep. It opens on a phone.
What happens to my email address?
It goes on my list so I can send you the writing. I do not sell it or share it, and every email has an unsubscribe link.
Do I need to be running Google Ads already?
No. Plenty of this applies before you spend a dollar, and knowing the thresholds up front is cheaper than learning them live.
Where should I send it?
