Operating framework for Remarketing

1) Scope for Remarketing/exclusions

Write one sentence for the business outcome behind Remarketing exclusions Measurement Workbook: Startups edition 2026. List constraints (fragmented ownership across teams). Reject work that does not serve the sentence.

2) Ownership map

Assign planning, production, QA, and measurement owners. Publish the map where the team already works.

3) Control stack

• search term mining cadence (entry gate)
• budget vs CPA ceilings (delivery gate)
• ad copy claim substantiation (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 search term mining cadence is failing.
