Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

paid-advertising scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 7d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/check-output.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Overview

Paid advertising is a dial, not a switch. Start small, measure everything, double down on what works. B2B advertising is fundamentally different from B2C — smaller audiences, higher CPCs, longer conversion cycles. Platform selection matters more than budget size.

This skill covers platform selection, budget allocation, campaign structure, and measurement across the four major B2B ad platforms plus programmatic.

Authoritative Foundations

  • LinkedIn Campaign Manager — Shapes deliverables for this skill — Paid advertising is a dial, not a switch.

When to Use

  • "Launch paid ads"
  • "Which ad platform should I use?"
  • "Set up LinkedIn Ads"
  • "Allocate ad budget"
  • "Optimize Google Ads for B2B"
  • "Run Meta ads for SaaS"
  • "Measure ad ROI"

Step-by-Step Process

Phase 1: Platform Selection

Platform Best For CPC Range Min Budget B2B Fit
LinkedIn Ads B2B targeting by title, company, industry $5-15 CPC $3-5K/mo Highest — native B2B
Google Ads Intent capture (search), retargeting (display) $2-10 CPC $2-5K/mo High — capture demand
Meta (FB/IG) Top-of-funnel awareness, retargeting $1-5 CPC $1-3K/mo Medium — audience building
TikTok Ads Brand awareness, younger demographics $0.50-3 CPC $1-3K/mo Low-Medium — emerging B2B
Programmatic Scale, retargeting, account-based $2-8 CPM $5-10K/mo Medium — ABM

For most B2B SaaS, stack priority: LinkedIn (targeting) → Google (intent capture) → Meta (retargeting). Add TikTok and programmatic when the first three are profitable.

Phase 2: LinkedIn Ads Deep Dive

LinkedIn is the highest-intent B2B ad platform. Targeting by job title, company size, industry, and skills means you reach exactly your ICP.
