## 一句话结论

subnautica2maps 有真实搜索意图和完整数据链路，但它是免费 fan-made 地图站、暂无收入/注册回收路径，且 paid conversion action 还没定义；当前不建议真实投放花费，最多在完成事件口径和 UX/索引 watch 后做 owner-approved 的 Microsoft/Google Search 小额学习测试。

## 红黄绿灯

- 投放机会：🟡 搜索意图真实，但强竞品是 Polygon、IGN、MapGenie、TechRaptor、subnautica2.gg；Bing 已有 75 clicks / 12K impressions，Google 近 7 天只有 1 click / 125 impressions，主词 `subnautica 2 map` avg position 60.5。
- 转化路径：🟡 首页首屏 search-first 和 /map/?q=silver 可用；地图可搜索、开 marker、复制坐标、算路线。但免费站无 signup/payment/order，CAC 无回收口径。
- Tracking：🟡 GA4/Plausible/Clarity 均可查，GA4 eventCount=1153，Plausible 7d events=693；但 GA4 keyEvents=0，paid primary conversion / ad-platform conversion action / cpc UTM 口径未定义。
- Policy/CRO：🟡 Legal/Privacy/Terms/DMCA contact 和 fan-made disclaimer 存在，商标风险已被显式 disclaimer 缓解；但 Clarity dead clicks=15.25% / 9 sessions、INP=1.7s poor，投放前需要先解释 /map/ 交互摩擦。

## Evidence Preflight

- Domain/infra: 🟢 production 200；/map/ 200；robots 200；sitemap 200；BingSiteAuth 200；IndexNow key 200；404 probe 返回 404。Cloudflare Pages 自定义域包含 subnautica2maps.com / www / pages.dev。
- Landing/CTA path: 🟢 首页 H1 是 “Find Subnautica 2 resources on the map”，首屏有 search console、SHOW SILVER RESULTS、SEARCH SILVER ON MAP、OPEN FULL MAP、BROWSE RESOURCE LOCATIONS。浏览器验证 /map/?q=silver 可显示 10 / 63 signals、Silver marker 列表、selected signal、copy coordinates、route calculator。
- Core tool success: 🟢 数据包记录 Plausible map_search 147 / marker_open 131 / resource_filter 122 / route_hint_click 6 / copy_coordinates 2；GA4 map_search 136 / marker_open 69 / resource_filter 106 / route_hint_click 7 / copy_coordinates 2。
- Pricing/checkout/signup: ⚪ not applicable。当前是免费 SEO 地图/资源定位工具站，无收入路径，所以不具备付费投放 CAC 回收判断。
- Analytics: 🟢 GA4 property 538884071，Measurement ID G-XZNWPP1D39；Plausible self-host 7d visitors=196、visits=201、pageviews=281、events=693；Clarity 3d sessions=59、unique users=57；Bing Webmaster 可查。
- Conversion events: 🟡 站内事件可查，但 keyEvents=0；缺 paid primary/secondary conversion action。
- UTM: 🟡 来源可查，但 Direct/None 111、GA4 not set 14、self 12、moxi_review 9 sessions 需要过滤和 UTM 对齐；未见 paid cpc campaign 数据。
- Policy/legal: 🟢 /legal/、/privacy-policy/、/terms-of-service/ 可访问，内容声明 fan-made、not affiliated/endorsed/sponsored/approved，说明不存官方 logo/key art/screenshots/long-form source text，提供 hello@subnautica2maps.com。
- CRO friction: 🟡 Clarity dead clicks 15.25%，INP 1.7K ms poor；Paid 前应先定位是否是 map marker/search/copy/route UI 的误点或性能导致。
- Creative angle: 🟡 可用角度是 “search-first interactive map / coordinates / route hints / silver/copper/black boxes”，但要避开官方/guaranteed/complete claims。
- Keyword/channel fit: 🟡 Search 有明确工具意图；Bing organic 已有强信号，Microsoft Ads 比 Google 更适合作为低成本学习入口；Reddit/Meta/TikTok 不适合直接买量。

## Opportunity Scan

- SERP/ad density: web_search 未返回明显搜索广告位；自然结果主要是 Polygon、IGN、MapGenie、TechRaptor、subnautica2.gg、Steam/Reddit/YouTube。结论：SERP 是高权威内容/地图站竞争，不是典型高商业 CPC 场景。
- Competitors: Polygon interactive map、IGN wiki map、MapGenie、TechRaptor、subnautica2.gg。
- CPC/intent: 没有可信 CPC 数据源接入本轮证据包；仅能判断 intent 是免费工具/攻略型，不是购买型。
- Channel fit:
  - Microsoft Ads: FUTURE_TEST 首选，因为 Bing 已贡献 75 clicks / 12K impressions，且 Plausible Bing 48、GA4 bing 42。
  - Google Search: 仅可作为后续 exact/phrase 小额验证；Google 当前 GSC 1 click / 125 impressions，主词 avg 60.5，SEO 尚未稳定。
  - Reddit/Quora: 仅适合墨运做 organic/community，不建议 paid；游戏 subreddit 对广告/自推敏感。
  - Meta/TikTok: NO_GO，缺强视觉 paid conversion 和回收路径。
  - PMax/Display: NO_GO，免费工具站早期会浪费。

## Active Ads Review

- Spend / impressions / clicks / CTR / CPC: 未投放或本轮不可查；数据包未提供 Google Ads/Microsoft Ads campaign spend，也未见 paid cpc UTM source。
- Conversion / CPA / CAC: 无 paid conversion action；免费站无 signup/payment/order，CAC 不可计算。
- Search terms / placements: 无真实 ad search terms/placements。
- 站内质量: organic/referral 下 map_search、resource_filter、marker_open 已成立；copy_coordinates 和 route_hint_click 样本低，需先验证它们是否能作为 paid qualified action。
- Paid performance verdict: Not applicable。不能从曝光/点击包装成投放成功。

## Campaign Structure - FUTURE_TEST only, owner approval required

仅在完成 Tracking Contract + CRO watch 后，且孟健明确批准真实花费时使用。

- Campaign: MS_Search_Subnautica2Map_ExactPhrase_US-EN_202606
- Channel: Microsoft Ads Search only；Google Search 可作为第二阶段。
- Network/location settings: Search only；关闭 audience/display/native expansion；presence-based location；优先 US/CA/UK/AU 或按 Bing/GSC 高质 geos 拆分。
- Ad groups:
  1. interactive_map
     - exact/phrase: [subnautica 2 map], "subnautica 2 interactive map", "subnautica 2 map coordinates"
  2. resource_locator
     - exact/phrase: "subnautica 2 silver location", "subnautica 2 copper location", "subnautica 2 resources map"
  3. progression_markers
     - exact/phrase: "subnautica 2 black box locations", "subnautica 2 data box locations"
- Negatives before launch: official, download, mod, torrent, crack, trainer, cheats, wiki official, job, wallpaper, server, apk, free game, steam key, unknown worlds, krafton。
- Bid strategy: start manual CPC / maximize clicks with strict CPC cap only if conversion volume too low；conversion actions configured from day 0，但不要用 broad conversion bidding until trustworthy conversion volume exists。
- Budget: 当前 $0。未来 owner-approved learning test：$5/day x 10 days 或 total cap $50；stop at $25 spend if no qualified_map_action, or if CPC > $0.50 and engaged sessions < 30%。
- Stop-loss: no qualified_map_action after $25；dead-click/INP worsens；search terms drift to official/download/mod/crack；Clarity shows paid users bounce before marker open；no conversion event validation。
- Scale condition: >=20 paid qualified_map_action, CPC stable, marker_open/search engagement comparable to organic, no policy/trademark complaints, and a monetization/lead capture path exists. Without revenue path, scale remains NO_GO。

## Tracking Contract

- UTM convention:
  - utm_source=microsoft_ads 或 google_ads
  - utm_medium=cpc
  - utm_campaign=ms_search_subnautica2map_exactphrase_us_en_202606
  - utm_content={adgroup}_{rsa_variant}
  - utm_term={keyword}
  - utm_id={platform_campaign_id}
- Primary conversion for paid readiness:
  - qualified_map_action: user performs map_search then marker_open, or route_hint_click/copy_coordinates after a map query. 需要前端/数据侧确认是否已能组合或新增事件。
- Secondary conversions:
  - map_search
  - resource_filter
  - marker_open
  - route_hint_click
  - copy_coordinates
  - mark_found
  - legal/privacy page visit from paid traffic if policy audit needs
- Validation method:
  - GA4 DebugView/realtime: paid UTM session has events and key event flag
  - Plausible: campaign/source view shows cpc campaign with same events
  - Clarity: paid sessions record /map/ interactions without dead-click cluster
  - Ad platform: conversion diagnostics sees imported/website conversion, but no launch until approval

## Creative Pack - draft only

Policy-safe principles:
- Do not claim official, endorsed, complete, or guaranteed accurate。
- Use fan-made, Early Access, public-reference, source-backed, coordinates/route hints。

Landing-page hypotheses:
- Keep /map/?q={keyword} as ad final URL for resource ad groups, not always homepage。
- For main query, test homepage vs /map/ only after qualified_map_action is validated。
- Add visible “fan-made, not official” line near paid landing hero to reduce trademark/policy risk。
- Before spend, inspect paid landing Clarity recording for dead-click clusters around marker list / map points / copy route controls。

## Gaps / Suggested Actions

- moxi / mojie｜Define paid qualified_map_action and GA4 key event｜验收：GA4 keyEvents 不再为 0；DebugView/realtime 能看到 paid UTM session 触发 qualified_map_action；Plausible campaign view 可按 utm_campaign 看 map_search/marker_open/copy/route｜需要孟健：否，除非 Google account permission blocks。
- mojie / moce｜Resolve /map/ paid-CRO watch before spend｜证据：Clarity dead clicks 15.25%、INP 1.7s poor｜验收：录屏定位 dead-click 元素或证明不是核心 CTA；INP/interaction issue 有明确修复或豁免结论｜需要孟健：否。
- moyun / moxi｜Clean UTM/test traffic attribution｜证据：Direct/None 111、GA4 not set 14、self 12、moxi_review 9｜验收：paid/organic/listing/community/test source 命名规则可过滤，复盘 traffic excludes moxi_review/pages.dev/127.0.0.1｜需要孟健：否。
- motou｜Prepare owner approval card only if future paid learning is desired｜验收：channel、campaign、预算 cap、stop-loss、conversion actions、creative pack 均列明；不执行广告平台写操作｜需要孟健：是，只有真实花费时。

## Monitoring Plan

- Daily if launched: spend, clicks, CPC, CTR, paid qualified_map_action, marker_open rate, route/copy rate, Clarity dead clicks, search terms, geo/device。
- Search terms / negatives: add official/download/mod/crack/cheat/irrelevant terms; expand only from converting resource terms。
- Hand off to moxi: raw spend/click/search terms + GA4/Plausible/Clarity paid sessions；由墨析判断 Kill / Iterate / Scale。
- No launch until owner approval。

## Risks

- Spend waste: 免费工具站无 monetization，任何 paid scale 都没有 CAC payback。
- Trademark/policy: 使用 Subnautica 词会触发游戏商标敏感；必须保持 fan-made/not official/independent，避免官方素材和保证准确。
- Competitive SERP: Polygon/IGN/MapGenie/TechRaptor 权威强；paid 只能买意图，不解决 organic 权威差距。
- Tracking: GA4 keyEvents=0；若直接投放，ad platform 无合格转化。
- CRO: Clarity dead clicks / INP poor 可能把 paid click 浪费在交互摩擦上。

## Owner Approval Needed

- 当前：无。建议不花钱。
- 只有未来要真实投放时需要孟健确认：Microsoft Ads 或 Google Ads 账户、campaign launch、预算 cap（建议 $50 total max）、广告文案、是否接受 fan-made/trademark policy 风险。
