Should You Run Ads Yet?
Seven questions. A verdict on whether you should run ads yet, what to fix first if not, and where to start if so.
The interactive companion to the playbook The Acquisition Map.
Two lines of code. It stays in sync, costs nothing, asks nothing.
If your audience runs or considers running ads, host this. It qualifies visitors against the same readiness gates a consultant would check, tells them why, and routes them to the right next step: a margin calculator, a measurement playbook, or a platform recommendation. It co-brands itself, asks for nothing, and makes you look like the person who saved them from wasting money.
Paste the URL of the page you'll embed the tool on. We'll read its colours and fonts and show you what the calculator would look like in your brand.
Extracted colours
Click an area below, then tap colours above to paint it. The area stays selected, so try a few quickly. The green (money kept) and red (leaks) are generated automatically so the chart always reads right.

How the collaboration badge will appear:
<div data-cwc-tool="ad-readiness" data-cwc-title="Should You Run Ads Yet? by Christopher White Consulting" data-cwc-reserve-narrow="1800" data-cwc-reserve-wide="1100" style="min-height:1100px"></div>
<script src="https://christopherwhite.com.au/embed/loader.js" data-cwc-tool="ad-readiness" async></script> - Paste the two lines where you want the calculator to appear.
- Use a real HTML / "embed code" block, not a rich-text field, so the
<script>survives. - Publish. It loads instantly and auto-sizes its height; nothing to set, nothing to maintain.
Platform notes: WordPress, Webflow, Shopify, Squarespace, Wix…
