Google Ads — Builder: Demand Gen

An audience-led, creative-heavy campaign for awareness/consideration. Different from PMax/Search: the audience and creative are the levers, and measurement is upper-funnel.

Operating rules

Read context (audiences available, brand, vertical, budget) + the plan output.
Write to the working directory: blueprint.xlsx + campaign-spec.json (campaign_type: "demand_gen", asset-group-style creative groups).
Set expectations: this is funnel-building, not last-click harvesting.

Model dispatch (run cheap, decide expensive) — see `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/references/model-tier-dispatch.md`

Scout (haiku) — per-URL 200 checks; creative-spec/size validation; pulling available audience lists.
Routine (sonnet) — pulling customer-match/visitor lists + high-value seeds for lookalikes. Dispatch as general-purpose; return raw lists, don't strategize.
Judge (main session) — STEP 2 audience strategy, STEP 3 creative direction (via assets), STEP 4 funnel/measurement framing, bidding. Audience inventory is cheap; audience strategy and creative are judgment.

STEP 1 — Inputs

Funnel goal (awareness/consideration/action), budget, and the products/message to feature.

STEP 2 — Audience strategy

Your data: customer-match lists, website/app visitors (retarget).
Lookalikes: from high-value customer seeds.
Custom segments: by search behavior or competitor/site interest (competitor_terms).
Interest/demographic layers as broad context. Combine behavioral + intent; avoid demographics alone.

STEP 3 — Creative sets (via `assets`)

Build per format: single image, carousel, and video (combined image+video drives more conversions than video-only at similar CPA). Provide briefs/specs and on-screen CTA. Strong, diverse creative IS the targeting lever here.

STEP 4 — Ad formats, funnel role & measurement caveats

Map creatives to formats (YouTube in-feed/Shorts, Discover, Gmail).
No frequency capping in Demand Gen — monitor reach vs frequency manually.
Attribution leans on view-through / brand-lift; don't judge it on last-click ROAS alone. State this.

STEP 5 — Bidding

Maximize Conversions (or value) aligned to the funnel goal; consider brand-lift/awareness objectives for pure top-funnel. Respect ramp discipline + change-event cooldown.

STEP 6 — Output + verification

Emit blueprint.xlsx + campaign-spec.json. Set campaign.status: "paused", conversion_goals.scope: "campaign". Verify creative specs/limits, audience signals present and distinct, Final URLs live. Hand the JSON to pusher (Demand Gen is mostly API-or-UI — guided build in Mode A).
