Advertising for agencies running client campaigns

Your problem is not making the ads. It is proving to a client, months later, why a claim was made and who approved it.

Cleanest reporting wins the handover

Google. Whatever the client sells, search is where the reporting is least ambiguous and the account handover is cleanest.

That's a starting point rather than a rule. AdPlaybook scores all eight platforms against the strategy you pick and opens on the best fit, so you're changing a recommendation rather than choosing cold.

The argument is the deliverable

Whichever strategy fits the client, chosen explicitly and written down. The value you add is the argument, not the asset.

Every strategy in AdPlaybook states how it usually fails before you choose it, because the expensive mistakes here are strategic rather than typographical.

No special ad category applies

Nothing about this kind of business puts you in a restricted category, so you keep the full targeting set. That's worth knowing rather than assuming, because the businesses that do get caught by one usually don't find out until an ad is rejected. We don't invent a warning to fill this section.

The ordinary rules still apply: every claim in the ad needs to be something you can point at on your own site. See what an unsubstantiated claim costs you.

What it does when a client asks why

It reads your site, works out what you sell and to whom, recommends the approach that fits, and writes the campaign. Then it checks the copy against Google's published character limits, traces every factual claim back to a line on your own site, runs the compliance obligations above, and tells you what it could not check.
