2) Ownership map
Assign planning, production, QA, and measurement owners. Publish the map where the team already works.
3) Control stack
ad copy claim substantiation(entry gate)landing page speed gate(delivery gate)conversion tagging verification(review gate)
4) Delivery rhythm
Ship in small increments. After each release, add links to the Google Ads hub and sibling cluster pages.
5) Learning loop
Compare planned vs actual every week. Keep, fix, or stop. Do not expand while ad copy claim substantiation is failing.
