Quick thesis
Start with CSV search-term uploads, then help advertisers find wasted terms, winners, and negative keyword lists.
Do these 3 things today
- Build a CSV upload page with search term, clicks, spend, conversions, CTR, and CPC.
- Write 30 common negative-keyword rules such as jobs, repair, manual, free, how to, pdf, and used.
- Recruit 10 cross-border advertisers and generate the first free audit reports.
Why now
- Google Ads keeps automating, so sellers need controllable search-term audits.
- Many cross-border sellers can launch ads but cannot interpret search terms.
- A CSV-upload MVP works before connecting the Google Ads API.
- Ad-spend savings are easy to quantify, making payment easier.
Best for / not for
Best for
- Indie builders or consultants who understand Google Ads basics
- People serving B2B export, Shopify, or DTC advertisers
- Operators who can translate ad data into actions
Not for
- People who do not understand ad metrics
- Builders trying to fully replace media buyers on day one
- Teams unable to handle industry-specific language
Validation signals
- 20 sellers are willing to upload recent search-term reports for a free audit.
- Each report identifies at least 10 clearly wasteful negative terms.
- Wasteful clicks or spend falls within one week after applying suggestions.
Pitfalls
- Do not start by changing ad accounts automatically; start with CSV reports and manual approval.
- Negative rules must be editable because industries differ.
- Do not judge by clicks alone; combine spend, conversions, CTR, intent, and observation windows.
7-day MVP path
- Day 1: define CSV fields and parser.
- Day 2: implement winner/watchlist/waste rules.
- Day 3: generate negative keywords and new ad-group ideas.
- Day 4: output HTML/PDF audit reports.
- Day 5: add vertical libraries and editable rules.
- Day 6: test with 10-20 sellers.
- Day 7: launch one-off reports and monthly subscription.
