1. Google Ads (fit 85/100, CPC $0.50–$3.00) — Product-related searches drive qualified traffic. 2. Meta Ads (fit 80/100, CPC $0.30–$2.00) — Low-cost traffic from interest-based targeting. 3. Pinterest Ads (fit 72/100, CPC $0.20–$1.00) — Low-cost product discovery traffic; purchase intent is 2-4 weeks out. 4. TikTok Ads (fit 60/100, CPC $0.20–$1.00) — Low-cost traffic from video content; high volume, variable quality. 5. Microsoft Ads (fit 50/100, CPC $0.30–$2.00) — Affordable search traffic from Bing users. 6. X Ads (fit 50/100, CPC $0.30–$2.00) — Decent traffic but conversion-rate-low — most users don't shop on X.
Example
A focused approach: start with Google Ads to capture the highest-intent demand, prove a cost per website traffic that works, then expand to the #2–#3 networks to scale reach without wrecking efficiency.
