# Paid Channel Prioritizer
Answer the question every early-stage founder asks: "Where should I run ads?" This skill analyzes your product, ICP, competitors, and budget to recommend the right 1-2 channels to start with — plus a 90-day plan to get there.
**Core principle:** A $3K/month ad budget split across Google, Meta, LinkedIn, and TikTok means $750/channel — not enough for any platform to learn and optimize. This skill picks the best 1-2 channels and concentrates budget where it'll compound fastest.
## When to Use
- "Where should I run ads?"
- "Which ad platform is best for us?"
- "I have $X/month for ads — where should I spend it?"
- "Should I do Google Ads or Facebook Ads?"
- "Help me choose a paid channel"
## Phase 0: Intake
