What it does
YouTube looks like a cheap way to find new customers, so stores jump in with a low order value, untested videos or a weak page. The first weeks are choppy anyway, and the money is gone before the test tells you anything. This skill checks fit and timing before you spend. Fit means an order value above $50 (ideally $75 to $100), a product that shows its value on video, and the budget and patience for a 4 to 6 week start. Timing means ads already proven on Meta, Shopping and brand Search already working, and money that is not taken from something that works. It then gives a starting setup. The split of budget it quotes (80% to Demand Gen and YouTube) is one agency's stance for cold-traffic brands, not a rule for stores with strong search demand.

You get
- A YES or WAIT call with the reason for every check
- A readiness score out of 100, with the sum shown
- The starting setup, audiences to test and metrics for weeks 1 to 6
- A budget split, what to skip, and the order of creative and page
