PPC
Paid search and shopping run to a target cost per acquisition, not to a budget.
Read the PPC principles- Account structure, match types and negatives that keep spend on intent

Programmatic display, YouTube and connected TV, and remarketing that brings back the people who already showed interest. Bought on outcomes, not impressions.

- Form friction: fewer fields, better defaults, inline validation
- Page templates by intent so new campaigns launch in days, not weeks

- Titles, internal links, content blocks and schema tested one variable at a time
- Read-out from Search Console clicks and impressions with confidence intervals
