Open day ads: the right blocks and the right words

What it does

Every month before the open day: the blocks with the most children, the rival schools within 2 km, scored by xMap AI for local ads, an ad line for each strong block, approved, saved to a sheet, emailed and mapped.

In one sentence: Monthly on the 1st at 08:00, in Cairo, count who lives around, sort them by children_0_19 and keep the top 40, count the international schools and schools within 2 km of each, work out new fields, score and rank them with xMap AI, keep those where fit score ≥ 65, write a summary of each with xMap AI, wait for approval, then add row in Google Sheets, email the list to you and show them on a map.

Why it is useful

Open day ads work when they reach parents nearby with the right words. This flow picks the blocks and writes the lines for approval.

The time it saves

Monthly on the 1st at 08:00. Doing the same work by hand takes about 240 minutes each time; it runs about 1 time a month, so it saves about 4 hours a month (an estimate). It is advanced: 13 blocks.
