Demo Walkthrough: Planning Ads for a SaaS Product

The demo plans an ad campaign for "Rankenstein Pro", a SaaS blog creator tool that is brand new and needs brand awareness with a $1,000/month budget.

Structured Discovery Process

  • The agent asks targeted questions: business type, goals, budget, and current ad status
  • Automatically scrapes the product website to understand features and positioning
  • Analyzes budget constraints to determine viable platforms

Platform Selection and Rationale

  • LinkedIn: Too expensive for a $1K/month budget
  • Google Search: Conversion-focused, not ideal for brand awareness
  • Meta (Facebook/Instagram): Best for awareness at low budgets
  • YouTube and TikTok: Viable if video content is available

Output and Deliverables

  • Full strategic plan including competitive landscape research
  • Platform rationale with budget allocation recommendations
  • Creative briefs for ad production
  • Expected metrics: 70-80K impressions, 11K video views, 200-400 website visits/month at the $1K budget
  • Output generated as Markdown, convertible to styled PDF with charts

Built on Research

The skill is built on research from 2,500+ websites on ads best practices.
  • Users can iterate on plans: change platforms, adjust budgets, request different formats
  • Supports MCP server integration for connecting to Google Analytics and other data sources
