the checklist covers five parts:

  1. the six prerequisites your account needs before touching ai max
  2. what to turn off the moment you enable it (url expansion, auto-applied assets, auto-apply recommendations, and two more)
  3. a 6-week testing framework that doesn’t require going all-in
  4. realistic expectations by account type — so you know what “good” actually looks like
  5. the six failures that catch most lead-gen accounts and how to avoid them

it’s a paste-and-go document. work through it in order. skip one step and you’ll pay for it in wasted budget.

want it? email it’s free, but i need your address to send it. one email. the checklist lands in your inbox. you can unsubscribe whenever.

if you want the full background first, the 16-minute deep dive covers the engines, the force-upgrade paths, the cannibalization risk with performance max, why 84% of testers see flat or negative results, and the faq. the checklist is for when you’re ready to act.
