google-ads-ppc-math

google-ads-ppc-math is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from swan-gtm/gtm-skills. It costs 105 tokens per session (781 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A paid-search calculation framework for working out budgets, conversions, costs, revenue, and advertising returns from existing numbers. PPC means pay-per-click advertising, where advertisers pay when someone clicks an ad.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps project clicks and conversions, calculate CPA and ROAS targets, estimate missed opportunities from impression share, and compare current results with a target.
Why use it?
It shows how the result was calculated instead of giving an unexplained forecast. It also shows how changes in click and conversion rates affect the estimate.

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

google-ads-ppc-math 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 1mo ago.

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.

PPC Forecasting and Unit-Economics Math

Applies any time the question is really arithmetic wearing a strategy question's clothes — someone wants to know what a number implies before committing spend to it.

The play

  1. Work from whatever inputs are actually given, and state which core rates you derived them from: CPA (spend ÷ conversions), ROAS (revenue ÷ spend), CTR (clicks ÷ impressions), CPC (spend ÷ clicks), CVR (conversions ÷ clicks). Every downstream projection is built from these five.
  2. For a budget or conversion forecast, chain the rates forward explicitly: daily clicks from budget and CPC, daily conversions from clicks and CVR, then scale to a monthly figure using an average month length (roughly 30.4 days) rather than a flat 30 — the drift compounds over a full year of planning.
  3. For a target gap (hitting a CPA or ROAS goal), show the distance three ways: where the account is now, what's required to hit the target, and the specific delta in conversions or revenue needed to close it — not just "you're below target."
  4. For impression share opportunity, translate the missed share into missed clicks and missed conversions using the account's own CTR and conversion rate, not an assumed industry rate — the whole point is showing what the account's actual funnel would produce with more visibility.
  5. Always run the sensitivity check nobody asked for: "if CPC rises 20%, your CPA becomes X." A single-point forecast without a stress case invites false confidence the moment reality drifts from the input.
  6. Flag inputs that don't pass a sanity check before running them forward — a CTR above what's plausible for the format, or a CPA implausibly low for a non-branded term, will just launder into an equally implausible forecast if you don't stop and ask about it first.

What good looks like

  • The best version of this always shows the formula and the inputs next to the result — a table with just a final number invites "how did you get that" and erodes trust the first time someone tries to reproduce it.
  • The common mistake is running a forecast on inputs that were never sanity-checked, producing a precise-looking number built on an impossible assumption. Catch the impossible input, don't just compute through it.
  • Good output pairs every headline number with its sensitivity — a forecast that can't say what happens if one input moves 20% isn't a forecast, it's a guess with extra decimal places.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
