The problem
gold cake stand

Ad clicks it paid for
“plastic cake stand”$0.840 orders
“cake topper”$0.910 orders
“silver cake stand”$0.770 orders
“baking pans”$0.880 orders
“acrylic cake plate”$0.950 orders
“Account lost page 1 rankings for main keywords after inactivity; stuck page 3–4.
PPC ROI is weak; targeting is sloppy and wastes ad spend.”
It used to rank on page 1. Then it sank to page 3.
And the ads kept paying for clicks that never bought.
That is the brief the AI agents work from.
The fix · 13 real workflows

Then it scrapes the search results.
And keeps only the openings: over $30, under 150 reviews.
