Research keywords with Ubersuggest: "back to school anxiety therapist", "student counseling near me", "stress relief for teens". Group them into three ad groups, each with a tailored ad copy that references the 20% student discount. Use the flyer’s landing‑page URL with UTM parameters (utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=fall_therapy). Set a target CPA of $45, and enable ad extensions for sitelinks to the webinar series. Expect a Quality Score of 7+ and a 4.5% conversion rate after two weeks.

Build a Data Studio report pulling from Google Analytics, Facebook Ads, and Google Ads. Use UTM parameters (source, medium, campaign) to segment traffic by channel. Visualize key metrics: CPL, conversion rate, ROI, and new patient count per week. Set alerts for CPA spikes >20% above baseline. Share the live dashboard with staff for weekly huddles. Expected outcome: faster decision‑making and a 15% reduction in wasted ad spend within 30 days. Difficulty: Advanced; ROI: High; link: "https://datastudio.google.com"
