Cause of death: the autopsy
Google ships a free agent (Ads Advisor) inside every account that applies changes directly, and funded newcomers raised $25M and $12M in the last 12 months. German agency clicks cost about €35-39, so the planned $250 test would have bought about 7 clicks. The red team cut the 36-month base from €2.5M to €200k a year.
The numbers
None. It was never built, so there are no visitors, sales or ad spend to count. It died on paper, which is the cheapest place to die.
Could rise again if
Revisit only after 5 or more repeat monthly Ads clients exist through freelance gigs, and Google grants the next API access level.
