5-Minute Ad Score

Yes, completely free with no credit card required. You sign up with your email address and receive one lesson per day for 7 days. There's no upsell wall — you get all 7 lessons regardless. The course is designed to give you genuinely useful knowledge about Google Ads, whether or not you ever use VibeAds. At the end of the course, we'll mention how VibeAds automates the things you just learned — but there's zero obligation to sign up.

This course is designed for local service business owners spending $500-$5,000/mo on Google Ads (or planning to start). It's ideal if you're currently managing your own ads and want to improve results, if you're working with an agency and want to understand what they're doing, or if you're brand new to Google Ads and want to learn before spending money. The lessons assume no prior advertising knowledge and explain concepts in plain language with examples from local service industries like plumbing, HVAC, dental, and legal.

Each daily email takes 5-10 minutes to read. Lessons are concise and actionable — no fluff or theory without practical application. Every lesson ends with a 'Quick Win' action item you can implement in your own account that day. For example, Day 6 (Negative Keywords) includes a copy-paste list of 30 universal negatives you can add to your campaign in under 2 minutes. The entire course is designed for busy business owners who don't have hours to spend on marketing education.

Yes. After completing the 7-day course, you'll understand the fundamentals well enough to set up a basic campaign, monitor performance, and make common optimizations like adding negative keywords and adjusting bids. That said, effective Google Ads management requires ongoing time commitment — about 4-8 hours per month for a well-maintained account. The course will help you decide whether self-management, an agency, or an AI tool like VibeAds is the right fit for your business and budget.

Absolutely. Most local businesses running Google Ads have gaps in their setup — our audit quiz data shows the average account scores 42 out of 100. Even experienced advertisers benefit from the lessons on Quality Score optimization (Day 3), conversion tracking validation (Day 5), and negative keyword strategy (Day 6). If you're already running ads, the Quick Win actions at the end of each lesson give you immediate optimizations you can apply to your existing campaigns. Several users have reported recovering $200-$500/mo in wasted spend just from the negative keyword lesson alone.
