How to Run
Step 1: Search and Analyze the Homepage
Use WebFetch to retrieve the homepage content. Extract these elements:
WebFetch(url) -> Analisar:
1. Headline / Seção Hero â Qual Ă© a promessa principal?
2. Proposta de Valor â EstĂĄ claro o que eles vendem e por que isso importa?
3. CTA(s) â Que ação estĂŁo pedindo aos visitantes?
4. Oferta â HĂĄ uma oferta especĂfica (preço, teste grĂĄtis, desconto)?
5. Sinais de Confiança â AvaliaçÔes, depoimentos, selos, logotipos de clientes, certificaçÔes?
6. Qualidade Visual â Imagens profissionais, branding consistente, design moderno?
7. Indicadores Mobile â Sinais de responsividade, carregamento rĂĄpido?
8. InformaçÔes de Contato â Telefone, e-mail, chat, endereço visĂveis?Step 2: Score 5 Dimensions
Evaluate each dimension on a scale of 0 to 20:
1. Value Proposition Strength (0â20)
| Score | Criteria |
|---|---|
| 17-20 | Extremely clear about what they do, for whom, and why itâs better. Unique mechanism stated. |
| 13-16 | Clear offer, implicit target audience, some differentiation. |
| 9-12 | Generic value proposition that could apply to many businesses. |
| 5-8 | Vague or hidden value proposition. Requires effort to understand. |
| 0-4 | No clear value proposition. Visitors wouldnât know what this business does. |
2. Offer Clarity (0-20)
| Score | Criteria |
|---|---|
| 17-20 | Specific offer with a price, clear next step, and an element of urgency/scarcity. |
| 13-16 | Visible offer, but no urgency or specific price. |
| 9-12 | Generic "Contact us" or "learn more" with no defined offer. |
| 5-8 | No clear offer â visitors have to search to find out what to do next. |
| 0-4 | No offer. No price, no CTA, no next step. |
3. CTA Quality (0-20)
| Score | Criteria |
|---|---|
| 17-20 | Strong, specific CTA above the fold. Action-oriented language. Multiple CTAs in logical places. |
| 13-16 | CTA appears above the fold, but is generic ("Learn More," "Contact Us"). |
| 9-12 | CTA exists, but is below the fold or difficult to find. |
| 5-8 | Weak or confusing CTAs. Multiple competing actions without hierarchy. |
| 0-4 | No visible CTA. No clear path for visitors to take action. |
4. Landing Page Preparation (0-20)
| Score | Criteria |
|---|---|
| 17-20 | Fast-loading, mobile-friendly, professional design, conversion-optimized layout. |
| 13-16 | Good design and reasonable load times, but not optimized for conversions. |
| 9-12 | Functional, but with dated design, some UX issues, and average loading time. |
| 5-8 | Slow, outdated, poor mobile experience, or cluttered layout. |
| 0-4 | Broken, extremely slow, or unprofessional. Would hurt ad performance. |
5. Trust Signal Presence (0-20)
| Score | Criteria |
|---|---|
| 17-20 | Multiple trust signals: star ratings, testimonials with names/photos, customer logos, certifications, media mentions. |
| 13-16 | Some trust signals present (reviews or testimonials, but not both). |
| 9-12 | Minimal trust signals â perhaps a generic âtrusted byâ statement without specifics. |
| 5-8 | Almost no social proof. Only basic contact information as a trust signal. |
| 0-4 | No trust signals. Anonymous site with no credibility markers. |
Ad Readiness Score = Sum of all 5 dimensions (0-100)
Stage 3: Determine the Platform Recommendation
Based on the business type and readiness score, recommend the best platform to start with:
| Business Type | Main Platform | Why | Minimum Budget/Month |
|---|---|---|---|
| Local Service | Google Ads (Search) | High-intent search traffic | $500-$1.500 |
| E-commerce | Meta (FB/IG) | Visual products, impulse purchases | $1.000-$3.000 |
| B2B SaaS | LinkedIn + Google | Professional targeting, search intent | $2.000-$5.000 |
| B2C SaaS | Meta + Google | Broad reach + search capture | $1.000-$3.000 |
| Restaurant | Meta (Local) | Visual food content, local targeting | $300-$800 |
| Course/Creator | YouTube + Meta | Video content, retargeting | $1.000-$2.500 |
| Agency/Consulting | LinkedIn + Google | B2B targeting, authority | $1.500-$4.000 |
Secondary Platform Recommendation: After establishing the main platform (30-60 days), recommend a secondary platform:
| Principal | Secondary | Why add |
|---|---|---|
| Google Search | Meta (retargeting) | Capture search visitors who didnât convert |
| Goal | Google Search | Capture high-intent searchers prompted by your social ads |
| Google Search | Capture branded searches generated by LinkedIn awareness | |
| YouTube | Goal | Retargeting Video Viewers with Direct Response Ads |
Step 4: Estimate CPC and CPA Ranges
Provide realistic cost expectations based on the industry and platform:
CPC ranges by industry and platform:
| Industry | Google Search CPC | Meta CPC | LinkedIn CPC | TikTok CPC |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Local Services | $3-$12 | $0.80-$2.50 | N/A | $0.50-$1.50 |
| E-commerce | $0.50-$3 | $0.40-$1.50 | N/A | $0.20-$0.80 |
| B2B SaaS | $3-$15 | $1.50-$4.00 | $4-$12 | N/A |
| B2C SaaS | $1-$5 | $0.50-$2.00 | N/A | $0.30-$1.00 |
| Education/Courses | $1-$6 | $0.60-$2.00 | $3-$8 | $0.25-$0.80 |
| Restaurant/Hospitality | $0.50-$3 | $0.30-$1.00 | N/A | $0.20-$0.60 |
| Agency/Consulting | $3-$10 | $1.00-$3.50 | $5-$12 | N/A |
Expected CPA by Business Type:
| Business Type | Low CPA | Average CPA | High CPA | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Local Service (lead) | $15 | $35 | $75 | Phone call or form submission |
| E-commerce (purchase) | $10 | $30 | $60 | Highly dependent on AOV |
| B2B SaaS (demo/trial) | $50 | $150 | $300 | Higher LTV justifies a higher CPA |
| B2C SaaS (sign-up) | $5 | $25 | $60 | Free trial vs. paid signup |
| Course (enrollment) | $20 | $60 | $120 | Webinar funnel lowers CPA |
| Restaurant (visit) | $3 | $10 | $25 | Tracked via supply redemption |
Step 5: Quick Competitor Check
Before finalizing the snapshot, do a quick check for competitive signals:
WebSearch Query:
"[Industry]" "[City]" ads OR advertising OR sponsoredNote: Are competitors actively advertising? If yes, the market is validated but competitive. If not, there may be an opportunity, or the market may not support paid ads.
Step 6: Generate Readiness Verdict
| Score Range | Verdict | Recommendation |
|---|---|---|
| 80-100 | Ready to Launch | Launch ads immediately. Focus on testing and scaling. |
| 60-79 | Almost Ready | Fix 1-2 gaps first, then launch. Allow 1-2 weeks for preparation. |
| 40-59 | Needs Work | Significant improvements needed before ads are effective. 2-4 weeks. |
| 20-39 | Not Ready | Serious problems with the landing page and offer. Fix the fundamentals first. 4-8 weeks. |
| 0-19 | Reconstruction Required | The site/offer needs a major overhaul before any ad spend. |
