Google Ads + AI
Everyone's running product pages and category pages on Google.
They're leaving 80% of the opportunity on the table.
We've tested 100+ landing page variations across $2M in ad spend. Here's what actually converts:
1. ADVERTORIALS
Long-form educational content that warms the click before the sell.
Headlines like:
- "Why most [audience] stay stuck with [problem]"
- "The real reason [common solution] falls apart after 30 days"
Best for problem-aware, informational searches.
The mechanism: you're matching user intent. They searched a question, you're giving an answer - with your product positioned naturally as the solution.
We've seen 40-80% cheaper CPCs with 10-100x the volume vs product keywords.
2. LISTICLES
Basically advertorials packaged as a list.
"7 Reasons You're Not Losing Weight" "5 Simple Ways to [Outcome]"
Same principle. You're capturing early-to-mid funnel intent where product pages don't even show up.
3. US VS THEM
Head-to-head comparison against a competitor.
"[Your Product] vs [Competitor] - An Honest Comparison"
This intercepts high-intent traffic before they go to your competitor. Prints when competitors aren't protecting their brand terms.
Key: include a comparison table. Highlight your USP. Call out weaknesses without trashing them.
4. REVIEW PAGES
Ranked list of brands in your category, positioned as third-party.
"Top 7 [Product Type] for [Audience] in 2025" "We Tested the 5 Most Popular [Products]. Here's What Won"
Make it feel objective. Position your product as the clear winner. Reframe weaknesses as non-issues.
The pattern across all 4:
You're matching the user's search intent with content that answers their actual question - not just showing them a product and hoping.
Everyone's competing on product pages.
Run these formats and you'll run laps around them.
