What it does
Stores that feel stuck often work harder on the wrong thing. They tune ad sets while the numbers they trust are wrong, or they rewrite pages while the real problem is that too few people click. A growth bottleneck is the one step that limits everything after it. Fix a different step and nothing moves. This skill goes in order. First, do your metrics match profit? Then the funnel: what you pay per click, how many clicks buy, and how much they spend. Then creative, account structure, levers outside the ad account, and last, cash. It picks one bottleneck, gives it a number and a date to re-test, and checks the real size of each change you planned. If the answer is cash or stock, it hands you to the online store bottleneck finder.
You give it
- Monthly revenue, ad spend and gross margin
- The metrics you use to decide, such as ROAS and conversion rate
- CPM, click-through rate, CPC, conversion rate and order value for 3 to 6 months
- Funnel drop-off by step, from product page to cart to checkout (optional)
- Creative volume and ad age, and a summary of your account structure
- Levers outside ads, such as creators, retail, PR and email (optional)
- Cash and stock position (optional)
- Your question (optional)
You get
- The one bottleneck, with the evidence and the number that must move
- The order of work and an impact check on each change you planned
- What to ignore this quarter and a date to re-test
- A score out of 100 for how many growth layers hold up
Use it when
- Revenue or profit has been flat for months even though you keep making changes.
- You have a list of ideas, such as new ad sets, new pages and budget moves, and cannot tell which matters.
- You are not sure whether the problem is your ads, your site, your product or your cash.
How to use it
- Start a chat with the skill. Open it if you added it to your AI, or copy it and paste it in.
- Paste 3 to 6 months of CPM, click-through rate, CPC, conversion rate, order value and CAC. Add your margin and your list of planned changes.
- Say what outside the ad account might have moved sales, such as a creator deal or a press hit.
- Read the one bottleneck first. Do not start the second until the first has its re-test date.
- Run it again on the re-test date with new numbers.
