THE WORK THAT MATTERS
More spend cannot fix an unsuitable offer, a confusing destination, or a conversion event that counts the wrong action. The first step is to understand your catalog and intended research audience, then assess whether a proposed platform and campaign are appropriate. An RUO label does not itself establish advertising eligibility.
Review the actual products, claims, target geography, audience, and entire destination against the relevant channel policies. Document what is eligible, what needs changes, and what should not be advertised. Google and other platforms make their own approval decisions.
Review ownership, access, billing, domains, and relevant verification requirements. Define which team member approves creative and destinations. If an account has a restriction, investigate the stated issue and use the platform’s review or appeal process where appropriate.
For an eligible campaign, turn the positioning into creative briefs and a destination that accurately represents the research business. Agree on one test question, the conversion event, budget, and decision window. Keep the ad, page, and actual offer consistent.
Validate permitted conversion events and reconcile the campaign view with store orders. Distinguish first-time customers, repeat customers, order revenue, refunds, and attributed channel credit. Use that context to decide whether to continue, improve, or stop a test.
AN AGREED SCOPE
RUO founders who want an informed assessment before committing budget, or an experienced marketing owner to improve eligible campaigns and their supporting funnel. A paid-media engagement may be inappropriate for a particular catalog; the assessment informs that decision.
If the proposed offer or destination is ineligible, we do not launch that campaign. We can instead scope useful website, organic search, and opted-in customer communication work that accurately represents the business. I do not use cloaking, substitute accounts, or misleading destinations to bypass platform review.

Eligibility is specific to the product, claims, audience, location, destination, and platform. Research-use-only wording is not blanket permission. I assess the proposed campaign before recommending a launch; I cannot promise approval on Google, Meta, or another network.
No. Platforms control enforcement. My work includes accurate account foundations, policy review, consistent creative and destinations, and documented testing. That reduces avoidable mistakes but is not a guarantee of uninterrupted delivery.
Yes, where the platform and data use permit it. I define events, review implementation, and connect reporting to the business’s order and customer records. The objective is to separate new-customer acquisition from repeat purchases rather than optimize to a misleading event.
The research-commerce proof linked here documents organic visibility. Other advertising examples on this site have their own business categories and reporting definitions. They are not relabeled as RUO paid-media results.
These services support genuine research-use-only businesses. Research-only wording does not override the intended use reflected by a website or establish platform eligibility. Your qualified advisers review product and legal questions; I own the agreed marketing work.
