Ads Strategy

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 <url>
• 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

How to Execute

This skill runs 3 phases. Phase 1 gathers intelligence. Phase 2 launches 5 parallel subagents. Phase 3 synthesizes all results into the final report.

• [pending] -- Not yet started

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:

Step 2: Detect Business Type

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

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:

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.

Agent 1: Audience Research Agent

Phase 3: Synthesis & Report Generation

Objective: Collect all 5 agent results, calculate the composite Ad Readiness Score, assign a grade, and generate the unified strategy report.

Ad_Readiness_Score = (Audience * 0.25) + (Creative * 0.20) + (Funnel * 0.20) + (Competitive * 0.15) + (Budget * 0.20)

Step 3: Assign Grade

Key Principles

• This is the flagship skill. The report should be thorough enough to justify a $5,000+ consulting engagement if presented as a client deliverable.
• Parallel execution is mandatory. All 5 agents MUST launch simultaneously to minimize total execution time. Never run them sequentially.
• Context consistency matters. All 5 agents receive the identical context package from Phase 1. This ensures consistency across all sections of the final report.
• WebSearch is the data source. Be transparent about what was found and what was estimated. Never fabricate metrics, but do provide industry benchmark ranges when exact data is unavailable.
• Copy-paste ready. All ad copy in the report should be ready to paste directly into the ad platform without editing. Character counts must comply with platform limits.
• Actionable over theoretical. Every section must end with specific actions, not vague advice. "Create a Meta campaign targeting HR managers at 500+ employee companies using lead gen objective" beats "Consider targeting your ideal audience on social media."
• The 90-day plan must be specific. Dates, platforms, budgets, and metrics should be concrete. The reader should know exactly what to do on Day 1, Day 7, Day 14, etc.
• Grade honestly. A business with a mediocre website, no tracking, and unclear pricing is NOT an A. The score must reflect reality so the action plan is credible.
• Always end with next steps. Guide the user to the specific individual skills that will help them execute on the strategy. The flagship report identifies what to do; the individual skills help them do it.
• If data is limited, say so. Mark sections as [estimated from industry benchmarks] or [limited data -- verify before launch] rather than guessing. Honest limitations build trust.
