  Been testing Claude Fable 5.1 for Google Ads and gotta say it's cracked... The research, reasoning, and data analysis capabilities literally 10x'd. So here's a 10-stage AI workflow to automate 80% of it: (Literally every prompt you'll need. Save this) Stage 0: Build the project brain Before asking for anything, create a Claude Project and feed it everything. - Product pages - Best sellers - Customer reviews - Objection docs - Competitor URLs - Meta ads - Google Ads Transparency Center links - Search terms reports - Winning ad copy - Offer details - Brand guidelines - Past landing pages - Performance exports Then run this prompt “Act as the Google Ads strategy brain for this brand. Read all uploaded context and create a working brand profile covering: ICP, core pain points, buying triggers, objections, emotional language customers use, top products, strongest offers, competitor positioning, current funnel gaps, and Google Ads opportunities. Do not make recommendations yet. First summarise the context and ask me what is missing.” The quality of the outputs you’ll get from this AI workflow will directly correlate with the quality of the context you give it here. And also the quality of the Claude model you use, since newer models have more context tokens and better reasoning skills. Stage 1: Customer language mining “Search Reddit, YouTube comments, Amazon reviews, TikTok comments, and niche forums for people discussing problems related to [PRODUCT CATEGORY]. Extract the exact words they use when describing the problem, what they have tried, why those solutions failed, what outcome they want, and what would make them buy. Format this as: Quote / Pain Point / Desired Outcome / Funnel Stage / Possible Ad Angle.” This gives you the language that keyword tools would never show you. If someone writes: “I’m tired of wasting money on supplements that do nothing.” That can be a winning ad angle right there. Stage 2: Competitor angle map “Research these competitors: [COMPETITOR 1], [COMPETITOR 2], [COMPETITOR 3]. Use Google Ads Transparency Center, Meta Ad Library, their landing pages, product pages, offers, guarantees, reviews, and email capture flows. Build a table showing: offer, main promise, ad hooks, landing page angle, proof used, objections handled, pricing position, and what they are NOT saying.” Then run: “Based on this competitor research, identify the 5 most validated market angles and the 5 biggest white-space angles we can own. For each angle, explain which funnel stage it belongs to and what campaign type should test it first.” If 3 competitors are all running the same hook, that angle is validated. You don’t even need to be original. Just add your unique spin to what’s already working. Stage 3: Keyword research “Using the customer language, competitor research, product pages, and search intent data, build a full Google Ads keyword universe for [BRAND]. Split it into: branded, competitor, high-intent product, problem-aware, solution-aware, comparison, ingredient/material, use-case, gift/occasion, and negative keywords. For each keyword, include funnel stage, intent level, match type, campaign/ad group recommendation, and landing page angle.” Then run: “Now prioritise this keyword research report into a 30-day launch plan. Separate must-launch keywords from phase 2 tests. Flag any keywords that are high volume but low commercial intent.” This stops the campaign from becoming a messy keyword dump. Stage 4: Campaign architecture “Turn the finalized keyword research report into a complete Google Ads account structure. Include campaign names, ad group names, keyword match types, bidding strategy, starting budget split, exclusions, negative keyword rules, and when each campaign should launch. Use this structure: branded search, branded shopping, non-branded shopping, non-branded search, competitor search, PMax remarketing with brand exclusions, display remarketing, Demand Gen, and TOF search tests.” Then add: “Explain why each campaign exists, what signal it is meant to produce, and what metric decides whether it scales, holds, or gets cut.” Every campaign needs to play a role in your ecosystem. If it doesn’t, you should just stop running it. Stage 5: RSA copy production “Write responsive search ad copy for [PRODUCT] targeting [KEYWORD]. Funnel stage: [BOF/MOF/TOF]. Use the customer language and competitor gap analysis above. Give me 15 headlines under 30 characters and 4 descriptions under 90 characters. Include: benefit-led headlines, problem-led headlines, proof-led headlines, offer-led headlines, and urgency-led headlines. Make sure headline 1 matches the search intent.” Then run: “Create 3 ad variations for this keyword: one direct-response version, one proof-heavy version, and one problem-agitation version. Explain which audience each variation is for.” BOF copy should sound like the product is the obvious answer. MOF copy should make the benefit feel believable. TOF copy should make the problem impossible to ignore. Stage 6: Merchant Center feed optimization “Rewrite this product title for Google Shopping using the structure: Brand + Product Type + Core Keyword + Key Feature + Use Case/Benefit. Stay under 150 characters. Give me 10 variations ranked by likely search intent.” Then: “Write a Merchant Center description for [PRODUCT]. Use up to 5,000 characters. Include all relevant buyer keywords naturally, cover features, benefits, use cases, materials/ingredients, sizing/specs, objections, and reasons to choose this product. Do not include irrelevant keywords or products we do not sell.” Then: “Audit this product feed for missed Google Shopping opportunities. Check title, description, product type, Google product category, images, variants, pricing, promotions, shipping, reviews, and attributes. Tell me exactly what to change.” Stage 7: Landing page angles “Build a landing page brief for [PRODUCT] targeting people searching [KEYWORD]. Awareness stage: [PROBLEM-AWARE/SOLUTION-AWARE/PRODUCT-AWARE]. Structure it as: hero headline, subheadline, proof bar, problem section using customer language, mechanism section, product section, comparison section, reviews, objection handling, FAQ, CTA. Make sure the first screen matches the search query.” Then run: “Create 5 landing page angle variations for this product based on different search intents. For each one, give me the hero, core promise, proof required, objections to handle, and CTA.” Send the best one into Claude Code. Now you have an intent-specific page created instead of 1 generic PDP trying to convert everyone. Stage 8: Creative production Connect Higgsfield MCP inside Claude. Then run: “Create a 9-shot YouTube ad concept for [PRODUCT] based on this angle: [ANGLE]. Style can be claymation / UGC / cinematic product demo. For each shot, include scene description, voiceover, on-screen text. Use GPT Images 2.0 for the statics.” Then: “Create 5 new creative concepts from the strongest customer pain points in the research. Each concept should include hook, visual metaphor, script, image prompts, animation prompts, and CTA.” If you wanna run video ads, animate your statics with Seedance 2.5 Use Fable to write the scripts. Shouldn’t cost more than $3 per ad. Stage 9: Daily campaign audit Connect Google Ads MCP (or just export report CSV) Then run: “Pull the last 7 days of Google Ads performance and compare it to the previous 7 days. For each campaign show spend, revenue, ROAS, conversions, CPA, CPC, CTR, impression share, search lost IS rank, search lost IS budget, and top search terms. Flag: ROAS down 20%+, CPA up 20%+, budget-limited winners, rank-limited campaigns, branded leakage in non-branded campaigns, wasted spend queries, and products spending with no conversions.” Next up: “Turn this audit into an action list. For each action, include the campaign, issue, evidence, recommended change, risk level, and expected impact.” Stage 10: Weekly scaling plan “Compare performance across 7, 14, and 30-day windows. Identify campaigns, products, keywords, ads, and landing pages with consistent green signals. Recommend which budgets to increase by 15-20%, which to hold, which to decrease, and which tests to launch next. Do not recommend scaling anything unless the signal is consistent across multiple windows.” Then: “Create next week’s testing roadmap. Include 3 keyword tests, 3 creative tests, 2 landing page tests, 2 feed tests, and 1 campaign structure test. Rank them by expected impact and implementation difficulty.” And this is how you get your full ecosystem set up: - Research feeds keywords - Keywords feed campaigns - Campaign data feeds landing pages - Landing pages feed creative - Creative feeds new angles - Audits feed the next week of tests If you want me to build this full AI Google Ads production system for your brand btw, DM me “FABLE” and I’ll show you what it’d look like

  If you’re spending budget on GEO right now, this test may save you from putting it into the wrong channel. Today, my client gave us around 500 queries their in-house team was tracking, saying that they want to do Reddit. We narrowed them down to 50 representative ones and ran each 10 times, roughly 500 real ChatGPT responses in total. In this sample, Reddit appeared as a referenced source only 4.8% of the time, with zero direct Reddit citations. At the same time, we started seeing YouTube show up much more often for this AI category. And this is exactly why, for the clients we already work with, we don’t treat distribution as a fixed strategy. Also, e didn’t wait for the Reddit citation drop to become a GEO headline. Our daily monitoring was already showing the shift. Around August 5, we started noticing changes in how ChatGPT was retrieving sources across real user responses. We adjusted the client’s distribution strategy before the broader data came out. Later, public tracking made the change much clearer. ChatGPT Search’s use of site:-specific fan-out queries jumped from roughly 0.37% to 16.8% in a day, while the average number of searches per response increased from around 1.08 to 1.83. A few days later, Reddit’s tracked share of ChatGPT Search citations fell from a previous average of 3.83% to around 0.52%. By the time this became widely discussed, we had already seen the direction in our own monitoring and started moving the client’s budget. But Reddit still matters for reviews, community discussion and long-term brand presence. Before scaling content, we now look at: which domains AI is actually retrieving from which formats keep getting cited which sources are gaining or losing share how those patterns are changing week by week Then we move the budget. For visual categories, that might mean more YouTube. For another category, it might be product pages, niche publications or first-party research. The useful takeaway is simple: Build your GEO distribution plan around what the model is retrieving now. And ideally, you see the shift in your own data before everyone starts posting about it.

  @the_austin_hull @GreywolfLuke A furry? Good one reddit rambo. I loath furries as much as I loath retards who can't argue their position. Break it down for me. Where does the AR9 shine and where does the MP5 shine? Where to they each fail? Be objective. 1) the ar9s charging handle is not in an ergonomic position. It's not a natural movement for the support arm to cover all that distance to the rear. To argue otherwise is compete faggotry. Now the use of the bolt hold open does improve the economy of movement and is a legit argument in favor of the AR9 as it allows you to bypass the repeated use of the charging handle on reloads. 2) The in line design is not ergonomic as many shooters are shooting with cervical spine ***** while maintaining contact with the toe of the stock which puts the recoil impulse above the shoulder mitigating the in line recoil impulse of the AR platform. Factors to get around this are higher optic mounts but this worsens cheekwield. The drop comb on an mp5 let's the stock remain in the pocket, gives consistent cheekwield instead of the step down stock to buffer tube (position depending). The recoil impulse is above the shoulder due to this design but the bolt and carrier weight on the mp5 is lighter than the AR9 giving the user less muzzle flip and more control. Especially important in the era of FRTs. 3) The magazine changes are faster on an AR9 again the economy of motion comes into play here with the additional controls. No argument there. I keep seeing you say the AR9 is more ergonomic and vibes and **** but you lack any semblance of reason or argument to back your statements. In some areas like reload speed it is superior. In other areas the ergonomics are lacking AR boys are just too stupid to admit fault on America's rifle. I have AR15s older and have shot multiple disciplines with said rifles... and yet I can admit that there are two sides to the coin as to the AR15s "vastly superior ergos" as some like yourself would claim. To blanket state that the mp5 has poor ergonomics is absolutely a reddit tier take. We can go on and on but I suspect you wouldn't give ground because your **** take is backed by a huge ego. Stop being cringe. The whole gun community is literally calling out your take as gay and full of aids.

  🔪 American McGee 🖤 (@americanmcgee) reported 24 minutes ago

  I find the timing of this interaction more than a little odd given that I recently reached out to the creator of the video in question to discuss the way in which it drives hate and misunderstanding. And I let them know that I was pondering the creation of a response video. But that I first wanted to give them a chance to discuss everything. They've since gone silent. And now this? So, the video isn't great. 250k views and it's stirred up a LOT of misunderstanding. But to be fair, the first three and a half minutes are fine. Our founding, the crowd design process, the monthly charitable donations. All of that is presented reasonably. Then we get to 3:30. That’s where the thesis arrives: “As Plushie Dreadfuls began to grow, controversy began to follow them as years passed by.” And from that point until about 9:45, it is one long, uninterrupted prosecution. No counter-points. No company response. No real attempt to explain the other side of anything. Then we get thirty warm seconds at the end about our scoliosis rabbit, which I guess is supposed to make the whole thing feel balanced? But the bookends are not the issue. The middle six minutes are. Look at where the material actually comes from. Essentially all of it traces back to one hostile subreddit and one TikTok rant that runs for about seventy seconds without any response from us at all. That is what viewers are given as an “overview” of our business. That’s not an honest overview. That’s reading our loudest critics into the record and calling it "research." Nowhere in the video does it mention that we have a 4.9 rating on Trustpilot across more than a thousand reviews. Reviews we cannot edit, remove, or filter. You would think that might be relevant when repeating the claim that we have “a really bad track record with customer service.” It takes one search to find that rating. One search. But if you do that search, maybe you can’t frame the story the same way. And the omissions are not small. With the refund story, the customer was offered three options: a full and fast refund if the damaged plush was destroyed, a smaller refund if they kept it, or a complete replacement if they sent it back. Three options. The Reddit thread focused on one because that made the story sound worse, and the video simply repeated that framing. The other two options? Never mentioned. On ABA, the organization we partnered with for the OG ASD Rabbit was specifically geared toward modern techniques designed to avoid the practices that made older ABA harmful. You can still have a conversation about ABA, obviously. But the video presents it as one uniformly abusive thing and treats our partnership as knowing complicity. Context disappears. Outrage remains. Out of that we have people claiming we "supported electrocuting kids" - literal quote. No joke. Then there’s the Discord claim. Again. It never ends. The video states as flat fact, in the creator’s own voice, that I went onto our Discord server “saying that being pan was a phase.” What it does not mention is my VERY NEXT response, where I made clear I was talking about a phase of interest on TikTok. Or the actual context of the conversation, which was about sales trends and redesigns. All that info is in the screenshots. All of it ignored. That context matters. It changes the meaning completely. But including it would make the claim much less useful. I guess it would make the video less watchable? 250k views makes this their most popular video ever. Imagine that! We also get the assertion that I have “a habit of responding in unprofessional ways to criticism.” Okay. Where is the evidence for that in the video? There isn’t any. The claim is just made. And, of course, there is no mention that many of my responses happen in the context of nonstop personal attacks. Apparently that part doesn’t matter either. Is what I am writing here "unprofessional?" I've noticed there are a lot of people out there who essentially consider facts to be unprofessional. Good luck with that. And here’s the thing that really gets me about these videos: at no point did the creator contact me, my wife, or anyone on our team. Not once. Every one of these misrepresentations could have been cleared up with a single message. I know that because when I finally reached out myself, I got a reply within hours. They were reachable the entire time. Nobody tried. And the video creator follows me here on X. That means they have watched over a year of the fallout from all of this. And done nothing in response. I often say that the attacks and behaviors that flow from these incidents are 1000x worse than the incidents themselves. This is a perfect example of that. When I raised all of this, I was told the creator had maintained a neutral stance throughout, and that they had made sure to state the Discord comment had nothing to do with hate toward any group. Great. Except neither of those things is in the video. There is no such statement anywhere in it. And the narration does NOT maintain some careful neutral stance; it repeatedly delivers conclusions in the creator’s own voice. Maybe that’s carelessness. Maybe it’s something worse. Either way, the result is the same. A video that its own creator apparently cannot accurately describe is now being used as a primary source for people calling me a bigot, accusing us of hiding AI use, and worse. And my team absorbs that every day. I absorb it every day. If the video had been made in good faith, one message would have fixed this. If facts were the priority, the Trustpilot rating, the full refund options, the ABA context, and my next Discord response would all be in there. But they aren’t. And I think we all know why. Pretty sure I am going to record a full-length response to this and post it across my socials... but I guess I'll give the video creator a little longer to respond before I do. It's more grace and understanding than they are the haters they inspire ever gave us. Sure that will be ignored too 🤷

  Stop f*cking adding so much stuff. Honestly. Please. Just stop. Stop stacking. Stop pill popping. Stop reading one more study at 11pm. Stop perusing Reddit and Ray Peat forums at midnight. Stop all of it. Think about it. If any of it actually worked, you'd have stopped by now (and you haven't). Pattern I see after coaching dozens and dozens of 7-and-8 figure execs is that not one was missing something. NOT ONE. Every single one had the opposite problem. Too much interference. Too many pills, too many rules, and way too much stimulus before 9am... all of it standing between his body and the thing it already knows how to do. Trust me on this: You're not under-supplemented. You're over-interfered. Your body doesn't reward effort. It rewards ORDER.

  @ariaradnia The problem is sustainability, I don't think this is sustainable. I believe US DAUs decreased last quarter.

  REDDIT $RDDT ADDED $2.6B TODAY OVER TWO CONTRACTS WORTH $130M A YEAR: Reddit RDDT at $158.11, +$13.47 / +9.31% today, one of the largest gains on the board among big, widely-followed names - and the company itself did nothing to earn it. The San Francisco company runs the network of user-written forums people land on when they add "reddit" to a search, employs 2,555 people, and makes almost all its money selling ads inside those conversations. The day around it: S&P 500 ETF Trust, ticker SPY, at $765.27 (after hours), +$3.49 / +0.46%. One stock, not a market. WHAT WAS ACTUALLY SAID Colin Sebastian at Baird kept a Neutral rating and a $185 price target - the level an analyst reckons the shares are worth - and made an unusual argument. Not that good news is coming: that the bad news is already in the price. Today's share price, he wrote, already sits near his worst case for two expiring contracts, and he valued a middling outcome at roughly $10 a share of extra value, a good one at roughly $20. That is the whole catalyst: an unchanged rating and a sentence about what the price already assumes. THE TWO CONTRACTS Reddit charges AI companies for legal access to its archive of human conversation instead of letting the text be scraped for free. Two of those deals matter: - Alphabet, the owner of Google, at $337.38 (after hours), +$2.36 / +0.70% today: a reported $60M a year, from a February 2024 expansion of its access to Reddit's data - OpenAI, privately held, with no shares anyone can buy: a reported $70M a year, from May 2024 Both expire next year. Neither has been renewed in public. Together that is $130M a year against $2.78B of revenue - the money coming in the door - across Reddit's last four reported quarters. Roughly 4.7% of sales. Set the two side by side. Today added about $2.6B of market value - the share price times every share - against contracts bringing in $130M a year. Twenty years of that revenue repriced in one session, on an argument that the fear had gone too far. WHY IT NEEDED AN ARGUMENT The June quarter, reported July 30, was not the problem. - Revenue $804.9M, +61% from a year earlier - the eighth quarter in a row above 60% - Advertising was $762M of it, +64%; everything else, licensing included, $43M - Profit $252.8M, or $1.25 a share, against about $0.97 analysts modeled, from $89.3M a year earlier - People using Reddit on an average day: 130.3M, +18%. Money earned per user: $6.18, +36% - This quarter was then guided to $860M-$870M of revenue, above the roughly $830M modeled Beat, guided higher, and down 20.99% the next session - $178.04 to $140.67 on July 31, on 29.9M shares against a normal 4.5M. Two worries did that. Visitors arriving from Google searches had gone choppy, and no new AI licensing deal was announced. Both are one worry in different clothes: how much of Reddit turns on a larger company's decisions. Which is why Alphabet is in this story twice - as the customer paying the $60M, and as the search box deciding how many people show up. THE PART THAT SHOULD SLOW ANYBODY DOWN Reddit did this exact thing three weeks ago. On August 14 it closed at $178.09, up 12.63% in a session, on news it would join the S&P 500 - the index that fund above tracks - on August 18. Index funds have to buy what the index holds, so that was real, dated, mechanical demand. By September 1 the stock closed $144.64. The entire 18.78% handed back over twelve sessions. Today's $158.11 close is one cent below the $158.12 it closed at on August 13, the day before the index news broke. Three weeks, two double-digit jumps, one full round trip. The shape today was strong - opened $143.71, dipped to $143.50 early, closed within 16 cents of its best price of the day - but on 5.32M shares against a 7.03M average over the past month. A 9% move on lighter turnover is a smaller crowd setting the price than the percentage implies. Wider frame: the shares sit 44.1% under the $282.95 of September 18 last year, and $19.93 / 11.2% under where they closed the day before the July report. WHERE IT SITS Reddit is fourth on the Hypergrowth Len5, which watches early companies growing fast. It earns that on both halves at once - 18% more people showing up, each worth 36% more - which is how a 61% quarter gets built without either number carrying it alone. WHAT WOULD CHANGE IT: management's own map for this quarter is +47% to +49%, the first sub-60% quarter in two years. Growth settling there and easing further makes this a bigger company growing slower, which is a different style's shape. None of the other five carry it. Momentum watches a company climbing on news of its own, and an outsider's opinion is not that; a high built on Reddit's own October figures would be. Quality-Value hunts a durable business at a fair price; 33.6 times the last year of profit is arguable, but durability is the harder half while a real share of visitors arrives through somebody else's search box - user growth holding through a referral downturn is what would settle it. No dividend answers Income in one line. Alphabet sits first on that same Quality-Value Len5 - the top name on it - because search and cloud are about as hard to displace as any business gets, and the price reads as a real discount rather than merely fair. WHAT WOULD CHANGE IT: search revenue shrinking as people ask AI assistants instead. WHAT TO WATCH, AND THE RISK October 29 is the next hard fact, when Reddit is expected to report - not company-confirmed. That is where +47% to +49% either lands or does not, and where any renewal news surfaces. The risk is that nothing was signed today. No contract renewed, no talks confirmed, no figure published. What moved was one analyst's read of what the price already assumed - and twice this summer this same stock has been handed a reason to jump and then spent a fortnight giving it back. Not investment advice.

  @Ooreoluwa__ Used it in the first few weeks then someone told me to be careful because there’s been issues with it making bottles with wrong formula and water ratio. Then I went down a rabbit hole on Reddit and saw parents saying it landed them in the ER so I just stopped 🥴

  The biggest barrier to marketing on Reddit is the fear of getting banned. Founders want to share their product, but moderators or AutoMods take them down instantly. The pain point we focused on while building FindEvo was exactly this. We saw that dropping direct links doesn't work and ruins community dynamics. The right workflow is: first understand the problem, offer methods to communicate safely without getting banned, and then build an organic connection. A founder's real pain isn't spamming; it's making their voice heard safely.

  @pcshipp Reddit can work, yea. But I’d start with search terms where people already sound frustrated. Reddit threads, X search, niche forums. Reply first, then post the best answer again on your own profile. What problem does the app solve?

  If you're using Reddit for SaaS growth, don't search only for your product category. Search for the problem people have before they know which product they need. “Looking for an alternative” “Anyone using…” “How do you handle…” Those conversations are much closer to buying intent.
