1. Executive Summary

Product. The Spa Dr.® Age-Defying Lift & Tight Serum — a doctor-formulated, clean / EWG-verified facial serum positioned to support firmer-looking skin during GLP-1 / rapid weight loss ("Ozempic Face"). Offer: 50% off first bottle ($48 → $23.99), 3-bottle at $21.33/ea, one-time no-subscription option ($38.99), 30-day money-back guarantee, subscription refills at $48.

Guiding principle. The landing leads — every keyword, ad and extension is derived from the landing's content so that query → ad → landing stay aligned. Message match is the primary driver of Quality Score, so the keyword universe stays strictly inside the landing's territory (facial skin firming during weight loss).

Structure. 1 Non-Brand Search campaign, USA, 3 tightly-themed ad groups, Exact + Phrase only (no broad at launch), Manual CPC start.

Ad groupThemeIntent tierWhy it fits the landingExpected QS INFER
AG1 — GLP-1 / Ozempic FaceThe named phenomenonSolution / branded-awareLanding FAQ literally answers "Will this help with Ozempic Face?"5–7
AG2 — Loose / Sagging Face & Neck After Weight LossProblem-aware, face & neck onlyProblem-awareH1: "Firmer Skin While You Lose the Weight"; LP targets face, jawline, neck6–7
AG3 — Skin Firming / Tightening SerumProduct categorySolution-awareThe product is a firming serum — exact match7–8 (best)

On a 4th cluster: Wegovy / Zepbound / Mounjaro face terms return near-zero standalone volume today (only semaglutide face = 590/mo and glp 1 skin care = 170/mo). Per tight-theming rules we fold these into AG1 rather than force a thin ad group, and keep the rest on a watch-list.

Status & approvals:
  1. Architecture & keyword list (this document) — confirm the 3 ad groups + match types.
  2. resolved Target CPA = $100 (LTV-based). Bids set against this in Phase 5.
  3. action Conversion-goal fix. Verified: site tracking works, but the live GLP-1 campaign records 0 purchases — it counts zero-value quiz/page micro-events instead. Campaign goals must be set to Purchase-only Primary before launch (Phase 5).
  4. Reconcile the existing live GLP-1 NB campaign (SR_US_NB_SpaDr_HairSerum_GLP1) — restructure into this skin-firming build rather than run two competing NB campaigns (Action 0).

2. Phase 1 — Landing Semantic Extraction

Source: live render of serum.thespadr.com/pages/serum/lp1-offer-glp1-mix-1 (2026-06-02). Quotes verbatim.

Headlines & hierarchy

3. Phase 2 — Keyword Research (Live API Data)

API Google Ads KeywordPlanIdeaService, run 2026-06-02 against account 9662795380, US / English, Google Search network, seeded with the landing URL + 10 curated seeds. 843 ideas, 832,170 total monthly searches. CPC = top-of-page bid range (low–high). All volumes / CPC / competition below are verified API output.

Headline finding: the territory is volume-rich but intent-mixed. The 246K head term ozempic face carries heavy informational traffic (before/after, images). Per the relevance-over-volume rule we keep the commercial / solution and face & neck-qualified problem-aware terms, and convert the informational + body-part queries into negatives (Phase 3). Drug-trademark terms are retained as keywords — negatives use generic modifiers only, never the drug names.

Does each ad group's primary keyword appear in the LP H1 / copy / meta? Recommendations are copy tweaks only — no rebuild.

Ad group keywordIn H1?In body copy?In meta title?Recommendation to LP team
skin firming serum (AG3)~ "Firmer Skin"✅ "firming," "Lift & Tight Serum"Add "Skin Firming Serum" to the meta <title> & a visible benefit line

Highest-impact LP tweak: rewrite the meta <title> from "6 Reasons This Is Your Skin's New GLP-1 Bestie…" to "Skin Firming Serum for GLP-1 Weight Loss | The Spa Dr." — boosts LP relevance for AG1 and AG3 at once.

6. Phase 5 — Operational Configuration

Bidding strategy

Confirmed target CPA = $100 (LTV-based — justified by the subscription funnel: refills $48, "20% off forever," welcome kit; first-order AOV alone is ~$24–$64). All bids below are set against this $100 target.
PhaseStrategyWhy
Weeks 1–3 (0–~20 conv)Manual CPC (or Maximize Clicks w/ CPC cap)No conversion history → Smart Bidding can't learn (never tROAS/tCPA <30 conv)
~20–30+ convMaximize Conversions (then add tCPA)Enough signal to begin capped automation
100+ conv/mo, stableTarget CPA / Target ROASFull Smart Bidding once data is rich

Starting Max CPC at $100 target CPA

Max CPC = Target CPA × est. CVR. BENCH cold NB beauty CVR ≈ 1.0–2.0%.

Est. CVRMax CPC ($100 CPA)Read
1.0%$1.00Conservative — covers most weight-loss terms; partial top-of-page on serum terms
1.5%$1.50Recommended starting cap — covers serum top-of-page range ($1.17–3.20 low end) and most terms
2.0%$2.00Aggressive — full coverage; use once a group proves CVR ≥2%

Recommendation: launch with a $1.50 Max CPC across groups (AG3 serum terms may warrant $1.75–2.00 given HIGH competition + best QS). The $100 CPA comfortably supports bids that the earlier draft couldn't — we no longer need to sacrifice impression share. Strong QS should pull actual CPC below cap.

Budget (estimate — not a guarantee)

INFER Blended realistic avg CPC ≈ $1.20–1.60. To exit the learning phase we need ~15–30 conversions/month; at a $100 CPA that implies ~$1,500–3,000/month. Recommended start: $60/day (~$1,800/mo, ~37–50 clicks/day). At ~1.5% CVR ≈ 0.6–0.8 conv/day → ~18–24 conv in month 1 — enough to migrate to Maximize Conversions. Scale once CPA holds at/under $100.

Geo, devices, schedule, audiences

LeverRecommendationReason
GeoUSA, all states at launch ("people in targeted locations"); layer state bid-adjustments laterNew campaign needs volume; GLP-1 adoption skews to some states — adjust once data exists
DevicesNo adjustment at launch; observeSet device mods only after CVR-by-device data
Schedule24/7 at launch; review after 2–3 weeksDon't guess dayparts with no data
AudiencesObservation only: In-market Beauty & Personal Care / Skin Care; Affinity Beauty Mavens; Custom-intent (GLP-1 + weight-loss + skincare); Demographics female 35–65+Gathers bid-mod signal without shrinking reach on a new NB campaign

Conversion tracking — verified (Google Ads API, last 14–30 days)

✅ Site-level tracking is healthy. The account's primary purchase action Transactions Thespadr recorded 449.9 conversions in 30 days; Add-to-Cart, Initiate Checkout and Product View are all firing normally. The Shopify→Google Ads measurement stack works.
🔴 But the live GLP-1 campaign is NOT counting purchases — fix before/at launch.

Verified on SR_US_NB_SpaDr_HairSerum_GLP1 (last 14 days): 77 clicks, $137.53 spent, conversions (bidding) = 0.0, all-conversions = 115, conversion value = $0.00. 115 "conversions" with $0 value on 77 clicks means the campaign is counting zero-value micro-events (Page view / QuizComplete / Advertorial-Load codeless actions) — not purchases. Several non-purchase actions are flagged primary at account level (QuizComplete-HairSerum, QuizComplete - Serum, YouTube views), which pollutes Search optimization.

Required fixes for the new campaign:

7. Phase 6 — Launch Plan & Measurement

WindowActions
Action 0 (pre-launch)Reconcile the existing live GLP-1 NB campaign (SR_US_NB_SpaDr_HairSerum_GLP1) — restructure into this skin-firming build so we don't run two competing NB campaigns. Confirm CPA / LTV + tracking + LP meta tweak.
Week 1Launch Manual CPC, Exact+Phrase, Search-only. Daily search-terms review → add negatives fast (body parts, before/after, drug-purchase modifiers). Watch QS as impressions accrue.
Weeks 2–3Promote winning search terms to keywords; prune QS<6 terms or fix relevance. Expand Phrase where Exact proves ROAS; optionally test generic "loose skin after weight loss" with body negatives. Add device/geo/audience bid mods.
Week 4+If ≥20–30 conv & stable CPA → migrate to Maximize Conversions (then tCPA). Begin RSA asset-rotation analysis. Consider an advertorial layer (note below).

8. Compliance Review — Cosmetic, Not a Drug

The product is a cosmetic serum; the landing carries the correct FDA disclaimer ("not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease"). Copy stays in cosmetic-safe territory — "support firmer-looking skin," "reduces the appearance of," "supports" — never "treats," "cures," or "reverses."
ItemStatusDetail
Drug-trademark keywords (ozempic, semaglutide, glp-1…)retainedKept as keywords per direction. Negatives use generic modifiers only, so no trademark term is blocked.
Drug trademark in ad textrecommendationHeadlines use "GLP-1" / "weight loss" rather than "Ozempic" to stay within Google's healthcare & trademark policies and avoid ad disapprovals. Drug names remain at the keyword level where they're allowed.
"Ozempic Face treatment" as copyavoided in copy"Treatment" reads as a medical claim — keyword is fine, copy uses "support firmer skin."
Clinical stats ("97%," "56-day study")OK if substantiatedOn the landing; describe skin appearance, not disease — cosmetic-safe. Confirm the study backs them.
"Safe Alongside Your GLP-1"OKLanding claim; topical / no-interaction framing.
