The play in three steps
A brand runs Google Ads on a high-intent keyword and ranks outside the top 15 organically on that same term.
The budget is proven, every month, on the exact keyword. They rent a spot they could own, and the rent goes up every quarter.
Show the gap in one line: what they pay per click on that term, and where they sit organically. A top 5 organic spot costs nothing per click.
Who it targets
- Ideal customer
- Brands in your size range that have run ads on the same high-intent keyword for at least 60 days.
- Decision maker
- Head of acquisition or founder. The person who signs the Google invoice.
- Where the signal is read
- Google Ads transparency and the results page for each keyword, scraped weekly, ads and organic side by side.
- Window
- The month before a quarter closes. That is when ad budgets get reviewed.

{firstName},
{companyName} pays Google every month to show up on "{nicheKeyword}" and sits at {positionNumber} organically on the same term.
If I could help you get as many eyeballs as the ads do, on that exact term, for less than what a month of those clicks costs (organic clicks do not stop when the budget does), would you be interested in hearing more?

PS: if the ads are a deliberate choice and organic is off the table, say so and I will drop it.
