Decision: Brand Defense campaigns — Google Ads (account 160-437-6990)
Status: PROPOSE-FIRST (awaiting Moe's manual creation in Google Ads UI — Fable is dry-run; no live execution by the agent) Date: 2026-07-17 Origin: Reviewing Google's "Improve Ad Strength" email → found Brand Defense paused ($0). Strategy mandate: brand terms are always defended (strategy.md §Principles).
Proposed: three separate brand-defense Search campaigns
| # | Campaign name | Daily budget cap | Basis |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Search - Brand Defense - Zaitoune - US |
$5/day | ~34 brand impr/day, ranks organic pos 7.5 (poor) — highest defensive value |
| 2 | Search - Brand Defense - Milaf Cola - US |
$3/day | ~11 impr/day, ranks pos 8.5 — captures unmet demand |
| 3 | Search - Brand Defense - Babanuj - US |
$3/day | ~10 impr/day, ranks pos 2 (strong organic) — cheap insurance |
Replaces the single paused campaign Search - Brand Defense - Zaitoune & Babanuj - US (split by brand).
Evidence (Search Console, brand organic search, 2026-02-14 → 2026-07-04)
- babanuj: 1,359 impr / 41 clicks / 2 queries / avg pos 2
- zaitoune: 4,766 impr / 77 clicks / 29 queries / avg pos 7.5
- milaf: 1,480 impr / 26 clicks / 42 queries / avg pos 8.5
Notes / open items
- Caps are ceilings; realistic total spend ~$3–6/day given low volume.
- OPEN: is "Milaf Cola" Moe's brand (→ defense) or a competitor (→ conquest; no trademark in ad copy)? Confirm before building #2.
- Zaitoune ranks poorly organically (pos 7.5) despite real demand → also an SEO opportunity, not just paid.
- Execution is Moe's (UI). Live-write not enabled.
UPDATE 2026-07-17: Milaf Cola confirmed = Moe's brand
Product: https://www.babanuj.com/product/milaf-date-cola-240ml-8-1-fl-oz → true brand defense (not conquest). All three cleared to build.
