| Component | Why it matters | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Policy compliance | Google prohibits ads for firearms, ammunition, and many gun-related products, so campaign messaging must focus on range access, training, classes, and safety. | Critical |
| Local intent capture | Search terms around shooting ranges and CPL classes show stronger local conversion potential than broad product terms. | Priority |
| Call-led conversion tracking | Hours-based scheduling and call extensions are especially important for local prospects looking to visit or book quickly. | Priority |
| Negative keyword control | Filtering product-sale and ammo terms helps protect policy compliance and spend efficiency. | Priority |
