I'm trying to smoke test an idea for an online business.
The problem is that I cannot show a "Buy Now" button which redirects to a "Coming Soon" page as that violates Google Search Ads Policy.
Due to my country's tax/company laws I don't want to open a company yet since I will bleed money before I get to a successfully smoke tested idea so I cannot sell real products right now.
But I also cannot sell "coming soon" products due to Google's policy.
How would you recommend I do smoke tests for idea as best as possible to test real purchase intent?
Thanks
