Description

User wants to create Advantage+ Catalog / Dynamic Product Ads, or asks "is my catalog ready for ads?". Run this PRE-FLIGHT before setting up a catalog campaign. Aggregates the real signals that decide whether dynamic product ads will actually deliver: - Catalog exists and has products - Product set (if given) is non-empty - Sampled products have images (catalog ads render the product image — no image = no render) - Feed health (last-upload errors), best-effort - If a pixel_id is given: classifies RETARGETING readiness (needs ViewContent/AddToCart) vs PROSPECTING-only Returns an overall verdict (ready / ready_with_warnings / not_ready), explicit blockers, warnings, and a recommended audience strategy. Always prefer this before catalog campaign creation so we never launch a dead retargeting campaign. When to use: - "Create a catalog ad", "set up dynamic product ads", "advantage+ catalog" - "Is my product catalog ready to advertise?"
