Hi Zafir! This is the crucial first step. Take your time with the keyword selection — the quality of your keyword list determines campaign success. We'll optimize from here, but good setup = better baseline. Questions? Slack us!

Got it. Working through the keyword list now. Should I include brand keywords like "safa body" or focus only on category terms?

Great question! For this first broad campaign, focus 70% on category terms and 30% on brand terms. In Week 3 we'll spin out a pure brand campaign once we validate the category demand. See the "Keyword Strategy" section in the SOP for the exact split.
