Ads matters only if the evidence supports a paid workflow around turning WordPress activity into automated reporting and handoffs, not a list of isolated fixes. The current commercial thesis is: Teams pay when WordPress data can be turned into reports, alerts, or downstream automation. The entry wedge is to connect repeated operational signals to dashboards, alerts, exports, and workflow automations.
