Campaign planning

Prepare Search campaigns before budget reaches production.

Planning work keeps a campaign brief tied to a real landing page, measurable goal, approved budget, reviewed keyword structure, and clear operator handoff.

Planning checklist

A launch brief should answer the same questions every time.

The brief should define the target page, conversion event, campaign goal, location and language scope, account owner, budget range, CPC review rule, and the reason the page deserves paid search traffic.

Operators should also record any brand language, restricted claims, legal review notes, tracking requirements, and landing page changes that must be completed before launch.

Planning articles

Useful reads before the first campaign build.

Launch readiness

Seven fields every Search campaign brief needs

Keep page, topic, geography, conversion action, budget, review owner, and policy notes visible before any account update.

Landing page QA

How to review a landing page before buying traffic

Check page speed, message match, mobile layout, tracking, forms, links, and policy-sensitive claims.

Approval flow

Separating draft work from production changes

Use a review queue so keyword, budget, ad copy, and status changes are approved before they affect spend.
