Automatically validating ideas with Google Ads

Lots of us use the lean startup mentality: find a product and market idea, create a landing page, send some Google ad traffic to it to see if it's going to convert.

I recently had the experience of having several ideas I wanted to validate at once, and found this process super annoying.

Would you guys be interested in / pay for a SaaS that:

  • Lets you plug in some images and text for 3 different ideas at once
  • Automatically builds landing pages around them (similar to divjoy)
  • But then automatically provisions and launches google ads for you, running an experiment on your three ideas in parallel, reporting on which one has the best CTR and conversion rate

Something like this could be useful, but it also could be "too much magic" and maybe people will want more control over their LPs and ads.

Thoughts? Is there anything behind this idea?

    Personally Burak I only really work one (maybe two) ideas at a time, so the 'multiple at once' angle wouldn't really be handy for me.

    I'd probably also want a little more control over the landing page.

    If it helps at all, I'm working on a product that automates a validation process for B2B ideas via LinkedIn - https://inqu.is/.

    We suspect we're going to get most growth through pre-seed accelerators (we've got a couple wanting to pilot it), so if you want to pursue it further it might be worth trying to target some people there.

    I needed this two months ago. Thought about building something similar. I do not need it anymore however. Ended up coming up with ideas on my own.

    Oh a funny thing happened. I got super high conversion rates that were basically ALL spam. Both CTR and email signups. So this is something that I would basically build into your product from the start, if you choose to build this.

    Another thought is custom domains. If they matter for this. Where the ad takes you to that is.
