1. Google Ads (fit 95/100, CPC $0.50–$5.00) — Search captures high purchase intent — product, brand, and 'buy' queries drive direct sales. 2. Meta Ads (fit 92/100, CPC $0.50–$4.00) — Best visual discovery platform for products; Advantage+ Shopping campaigns. 3. Amazon Ads (fit 90/100, CPC $0.50–$4.00) — Highest purchase intent — users are already shopping; requires active Amazon listings. 4. Pinterest Ads (fit 78/100, CPC $0.30–$2.00) — Users actively planning purchases; strong for visual products. 5. TikTok Ads (fit 70/100, CPC $0.30–$2.00) — Strong for impulse/visual products; Spark Ads + TikTok Shop. 6. Microsoft Ads (fit 55/100, CPC $0.50–$4.00) — Bing Search at lower CPCs than Google; good ROI supplement.
