## About

# Full Ad Strategy Orchestrator

## Skill Purpose

Perform a comprehensive, end-to-end advertising strategy build for any business from a single URL. This is the flagship command of the AI Ads Strategist — it launches 5 parallel subagents simultaneously to analyze every dimension of ad readiness, then synthesizes all findings into a unified strategy document with a composite Ad Readiness Score (0-100).

The output is a client-ready deliverable that covers audience research, creative strategy, funnel architecture, competitive positioning, and budget allocation — the kind of document an agency would charge $3,000-$10,000 to produce.

## When to Use

- User runs `/ads strategy `
- User asks for a "full ad strategy", "complete advertising plan", or "ad audit"
- User wants everything in one command without running individual ad skills separately
- User needs a single deliverable covering all advertising dimensions
- User is preparing to launch paid ads and wants a complete roadmap

## Input Requirements

- **Required:** A business URL to analyze
- **Optional:** Monthly budget, target geography, industry context, specific platforms of interest

## Phase 1: Discovery & Business Intelligence

**Objective:** Fetch the target URL, extract all available business intelligence, detect business type, and prepare the context package that all 5 subagents will receive.

### Step 1: Fetch and Analyze the Homepage

Use `WebFetch` to retrieve the homepage at the provided URL. Extract:

| Data Point | Where to Find |
|---|---|
| Company name | Page title, logo, footer, about page |
| Tagline / Value proposition | Hero section, H1, meta description |
| Products or services | Navigation menu, service pages, pricing page |
| Pricing model | Pricing page, CTAs ("free trial", "get quote", "add to cart") |
| Target market signals | Copy language, imagery, testimonials, case studies |
| Trust signals | Client logos, certifications, review counts, media mentions |
| Current CTAs | Buttons, forms, phone numbers, chat widgets |
| Contact info | Phone, email, address, social links |
| Tech stack signals | Meta tags, scripts, platform indicators |
| Content assets | Blog, resources, videos, podcasts, lead magnets |

### Step 2: Detect Business Type

Classify the business into one of these categories based on homepage signals:

| Business Type | Detection Signals | Ad Strategy Implications |
|---|---|---|
| **SaaS / Software** | Pricing page, "Sign up" / "Free trial" / "Book demo" CTAs, feature lists, integration pages, app subdomain | Focus on demo/trial conversions, long sales cycles, retargeting heavy |
| **E-commerce** | Product listings, shopping cart, "Add to cart" buttons, product categories, price displays | Focus on ROAS, product catalog ads, shopping campaigns, impulse triggers |
| **Local Business** | Physical address, Google Maps embed, service area mentions, phone number prominent, "Near me" language | Focus on call extensions, local targeting, Google LSAs, radius targeting |
| **Agency / Services** | Case studies, portfolio, "Our Work", client logos, consultation CTAs, team page | Focus on lead gen, authority building, LinkedIn, long nurture sequences |
| **Creator / Course** | Course listings, "Enroll now", instructor bio, curriculum, testimonials from students, community mentions | Focus on webinar funnels, transformation messaging, urgency/scarcity |
| **Restaurant / Hospitality** | Menu, reservations, location hours, food imagery, delivery links | Focus on Instagram/TikTok visuals, local targeting, seasonal promotions |

### Step 3: Identify Industry and Competitive Context

Use `WebSearch` to gather additional intelligence:

```
"[Company Name]" competitors
"[Company Name]" reviews
"[Company Name]" pricing
[industry] + [location] market size
[industry] advertising benchmarks [current year]
```

### Step 4: Detect Recommended Platforms

Based on business type, determine the optimal platform mix:

| Business Type | Primary Platforms | Secondary Platforms | Avoid |
|---|---|---|---|
| SaaS / Software | Google Ads (Search), LinkedIn | Facebook/Instagram (retargeting), YouTube (demos) | TikTok (unless B2C SaaS) |
| E-commerce | Meta (FB/IG), Google Shopping | TikTok, Pinterest, YouTube | LinkedIn |
| Local Business | Google Ads (Search + LSA), Facebook/IG | Nextdoor, Yelp Ads | LinkedIn, Pinterest |
| Agency / Services | LinkedIn, Google Ads (Search) | Facebook (retargeting), YouTube | TikTok, Pinterest |
| Creator / Course | YouTube Ads, Instagram, Facebook | TikTok, Google (search) | LinkedIn (unless B2B) |
| Restaurant / Hospitality | Instagram, Facebook, Google (local) | TikTok, Yelp | LinkedIn |

### Step 5: Build the Context Package

Compile all Phase 1 findings into a structured context package. This exact package is passed to every subagent so they all operate from the same intelligence:

```
CONTEXT PACKAGE:
- Company: [Name]
- URL: [URL]
- Business Type: [Type]
- Industry: [Industry]
- Products/Services: [List]
- Pricing Model: [Model]
- Value Proposition: [Tagline]
- Target Geography: [Location or "National/Global"]
- Current CTAs: [List]
- Trust Signals: [List]
- Recommended Platforms: [Platform list]
- Monthly Budget: [If provided, else "Not specified"]
- Key Competitors: [List from search]
```

---

## Phase 2: Parallel Agent Launch

**Objective:** Launch 5 specialized subagents simultaneously using the `Agent` tool. Each agent receives the full context package from Phase 1 and produces a category score (0-100) plus detailed findings.

**CRITICAL:** All 5 agents MUST be launched in parallel (not sequentially) to minimize execution time. Use 5 separate `Agent` tool calls in the same response.

2. Define negative audiences (who NOT to target):
   - Demographic exclusions
   - Interest-based exclusions
   - Behavioral exclusions
   - Why each exclusion matters (wasted spend reasons)

3. Identify the #1 highest-value persona and explain why they should receive the largest budget allocation.

4. Map personas to funnel stages — which personas are TOFU (cold), MOFU (warm), BOFU (hot)?

5. Provide an Audience Clarity Score (0-100) based on:
   - How well-defined the ICP is from the website (0-25)
   - How many distinct personas the business can viably target (0-25)
   - How precise the targeting parameters are on each platform (0-25)
   - How clearly the website speaks to specific audience segments (0-25)

- TOP_PERSONA: [Name]
- TOTAL_PERSONAS: [Count]
- KEY_INSIGHT: [One-sentence biggest finding about the audience]
