- Building marketing campaigns and funnels
- Optimizing conversion and retention
- Scaling acquisition channels

## Common Patterns

1. Test with small budgets before scaling
2. Track attribution and ROI religiously
3. A/B test everything — headlines, CTAs, offers

## How to Use

1. Define campaign objective and target KPIs
2. Set up tracking and attribution (UTMs, pixels, events)
3. Create campaign assets (copy, creatives, landing pages)
4. Launch with small budget for testing
5. Monitor metrics daily, optimize underperformers
6. Scale winners, pause losers, document learnings

## When NOT to Use

- Task is about sales, not marketing (use sales skills)
- Task is about product development (use product skills)
- You need to analyze marketing data (use analytics skills)
- Task is about customer support (use support skills)
- You don't have marketing assets
- Task requires legal review (consult legal)


## Red Flags

- **Metrics declining 3+ days**: Investigate funnel leaks or audience fatigue
- **Ad spend with zero conversions**: Pause and review targeting/creative
- **Email open rates below 15%**: Subject lines or sender reputation issue
- **Bounce rate above 70%**: Landing page mismatch or slow load times
- **Attribution gaps**: Missing UTM parameters or broken tracking pixels

        difficulty = get_difficulty(kw)
        results.append({
            "keyword": kw,
            "volume": volume,
            "difficulty": difficulty,
            "opportunity": volume / max(difficulty, 1),
        })
    return sorted(results, key=lambda x: x["opportunity"], reverse=True)

## Anti-Rationalization Table

| Rationalization | Reality |
|---|---|
| "Good products sell themselves" | They do not. Marketing is how people discover your product. |
| "I will start marketing after launch" | Build audience before launch. Pre-launch momentum is critical. |
| "SEO is dead" | SEO evolves. GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) is the new frontier. |
