| name | paid-traffic-architect |
| description | Use when a website needs paid traffic planning: campaigns, audience hypotheses, UTM maps, landing requirements, creative briefs, budget placeholders, and SEO/ads handoffs. Planning only; never launch campaigns, spend budget, or mutate ad accounts without explicit approval. |
Paid Traffic Architect
This skill prepares paid traffic plans and landing requirements. It does not access or change ad accounts by default.
Operating Modes
campaign-plan: define campaign structure, audience hypotheses, and landing-page requirements.
utm-map: create UTM conventions and reporting alignment.
creative-brief: define ad angles and asset requirements.
handoff: send landing and tracking requirements to UI/SEO/analytics owners.
Required Workflow
- Read references/paid-traffic-safety-contract.md.
- Use assets/paid-traffic-plan.template.md.
- Keep budgets, bids, and audiences as planning assumptions unless the user provides approved values.
- Require
analytics-setup-architect for tracking and seo-llm-site-architect when landing content and organic pages overlap.
Safety Rules
- Do not launch campaigns, spend money, edit pixels, upload audiences, or change ad accounts without approval.
- Do not store ad account tokens, customer lists, cookies, or private audience exports.
- Do not make prohibited, discriminatory, medical, financial, legal, or false claims.
