A cross-platform audience inventory table with flagged problem lists, the top 5 ranked cleanup recommendations and a summary ready to paste into a management update.

Does it change anything in my account?

No. The assistant only reads your data and reports back.

Works with

Google Ads, Meta Ads, TikTok Ads, LinkedIn Ads, Microsoft Ads

Before next quarter's planning, I need a clean inventory of our audience lists on every connected ad platform: Google Ads, Meta, TikTok, LinkedIn and Microsoft. This is read-only. Do not create, delete or change anything. 1. Find the connected account on each platform. Skip any platform that is not connected and say so. 2. Pull the audiences: - Google Ads: list_audiences with definition=true. This shows each list's rule, its lookalike seed, its membership duration and its Search and Display sizes. - Meta: list_meta_audiences. - TikTok: list_tiktok_audiences. - LinkedIn: list_linkedin_audiences. Use usable_for_targeting and below_delivery_minimum. - Microsoft: list_microsoft_audiences. 3. Check which audiences are actually in use: - Google Ads: read the audience criteria of all campaigns with get_campaign_targeting, and keep only enabled campaigns (check status with list_entities). For Demand Gen campaigns, read each ad group with ad_group_id, because the audiences live there. For Performance Max, read the audience signals with get_pmax_assets. - Meta and TikTok: list the active ad sets and ad groups. If the listing includes the custom audience ids they target or exclude, use them. If it does not, mark usage "not visible". - Microsoft: run microsoft_report_query with report_type AudiencePerformance for the last 30 days, with columns such as CampaignName, AdGroupName, AudienceId, AudienceName, Impressions, Clicks and Spend. An audience with delivery in that report counts as used. If the report is rejected or returns nothing, mark usage "not visible". - LinkedIn: list the ad sets with list_linkedin_campaigns. If the rows show the matched audience URNs in their targeting, use them. Otherwise mark usage "not visible" instead of guessing. Build one table with these columns: - Platform - Audience name - Type (website, customer list, lookalike, engagement, other) - Size - Status - Membership duration, if the platform returns it - Used by an active campaign: yes, no, or not visible Flag an audience if any of these is true: - On Google, it is below 1,000 users for Search or below 100 for Display. - Its status is closed, failed, archived or expired, or the platform marks it as too small to serve. On TikTok, treat a customer list under about 1,000 matched users as too small. On LinkedIn, use below_delivery_minimum and usable_for_targeting. - It repeats another list's rule on the same platform. Only Google returns rule definitions. On the other platforms, flag lists with near-identical names and the same source as "possible duplicate". - It is a lookalike whose seed list is missing, closed or tiny, where the platform shows the seed. - It is not used by any active campaign. Flag this only where usage is visible. Deliver three things: 1. Total audience count per platform, and how many of them are usable. 2. The flagged lists, grouped by problem type. 3. The top 5 cleanup or rebuild actions, ranked by impact on targeting quality. List them as recommendations only. Add one line per platform on what could not be checked. Then write the summary so I can paste it straight into a management update.

2. Pull the audiences:
   - Google Ads: list_audiences with definition=true. This shows each list's rule, its lookalike seed, its membership duration and its Search and Display sizes.

Build one table with these columns:
- Platform
- Audience name
- Type (website, customer list, lookalike, engagement, other)
- Size
- Status
- Membership duration, if the platform returns it
- Used by an active campaign: yes, no, or not visible

Flag an audience if any of these is true:
- On Google, it is below 1,000 users for Search or below 100 for Display.
- Its status is closed, failed, archived or expired, or the platform marks it as too small to serve. On TikTok, treat a customer list under about 1,000 matched users as too small. On LinkedIn, use below_delivery_minimum and usable_for_targeting.
- It repeats another list's rule on the same platform. Only Google returns rule definitions. On the other platforms, flag lists with near-identical names and the same source as "possible duplicate".
- It is a lookalike whose seed list is missing, closed or tiny, where the platform shows the seed.
- It is not used by any active campaign. Flag this only where usage is visible.

Deliver three things:
1. Total audience count per platform, and how many of them are usable.
2. The flagged lists, grouped by problem type.
3. The top 5 cleanup or rebuild actions, ranked by impact on targeting quality. List them as recommendations only.

Add one line per platform on what could not be checked. Then write the summary so I can paste it straight into a management update.

Demand Gen campaign using my best-retaining YouTube videos

Shortlists your strongest short YouTube videos by retention and builds a paused Demand Gen campaign around them. It adds country and language targeting, a 30-day remarketing audience and ready-to-run ad copy, and previews every step before anything is created.

When to use itWhen you want to turn your best-performing short YouTube videos into a Google Demand Gen campaign with remarketing.

I want a Demand Gen campaign that uses my own YouTube videos. It must be created paused.

Inputs:
- Landing page: [product or service page URL]
- Country: [country]
- Language: [language]
- Daily budget: [daily budget]
- Business name (max 25 characters): [business name]

1) Video shortlist.
   - List my YouTube channels. If there is more than one, ask me which to use.
   - Pull the channel overview for the last 90 days to get the channel's average view percentage as a benchmark.
   - Pull my top 25 videos for the same period.
   - Rank them by average view duration in seconds, not by views. Show each video's title, views, watch time and average view duration.
   - The report does not include video length or per-video view percentage. Take the top 6 by average view duration and ask me to paste each one's length, or the "average percentage viewed" from YouTube Studio. Then calculate view percentage as average view duration divided by length.
   - Shortlist 2-3 videos that are under 60 seconds and above 40% average view percentage. If none qualify, say so and stop.
   - For each shortlisted video, ask me for its YouTube link or video ID if you do not already have it.
2) Audience check. List my audiences with their definitions. Look for a remarketing list of visitors to [product or service page URL] with a 30-day membership.
   - If one exists, use it.
   - If not, propose one: name, URL rule (CONTAINS [product or service page URL path]), membership 30 days, lookback 30 days.
3) Campaign plan:
   - Campaign: Demand Gen, daily budget [daily budget], bid strategy Maximize Conversions unless I say otherwise.
   - One ad group, named after the product or service.
   - Ad group location: [country]. Ad group language: [language]. Demand Gen keeps location and language on the ad group. Without this step the campaign targets every country, so it must be applied before anything is enabled.
   - Remarketing audience on the ad group. A newly created list starts empty and fills over the following days. Recommend whether to attach it as Observation or Targeting given its current size, and explain why.
4) Ad copy. For each shortlisted video, write:
   - 3 headlines (max 40 characters each)
   - 1 long headline (max 90)
   - 2 descriptions (max 90)
   - A call to action
   Show character counts. The final URL for every ad is [product or service page URL] and the business name is [business name].

Preview everything first: the shortlist with metrics, the audience rule, the campaign and ad group settings, the targeting and all ad copy. Wait for my approval. Then create things in this order, showing a dry run (confirm=false) for each step and waiting for my OK before confirming:
a) The remarketing audience, if a new one is needed.
b) The Demand Gen campaign (paused).
c) The ad group. First check whether the campaign already has one by listing its ad groups. If it does not, run the ad group creation as a dry run. If the tool refuses for a Demand Gen campaign, tell me to add one ad group in the Google Ads interface and paste its ID, then continue.
d) Ad group location and language targeting. After applying it, read the ad group's targeting back and confirm only [country] and [language] are set.
e) Attach the audience to the ad group in the agreed mode.
f) One video ad per shortlisted video.

Finish with a summary of the IDs created and confirm that the campaign is still paused.

Final pre-launch review of my paused campaigns before turning them on

Audits every recently created paused campaign for targeting, ad strength, policy, extensions, schedule, budget and landing page, then proposes enabling only the ones with zero fails.

When to use itWhen you have built several paused Google Ads campaigns and want to be sure they are ready before you switch any of them on.

Review every campaign I created in the last 14 days that is still paused, before I turn any of them on. Use the account snapshot including inactive campaigns to find them by creation date, and list their ad groups and ads.

My intended daily budgets: [campaign name: daily budget, one per line]
My opening hours: [opening hours]

For each campaign, check the following:

1) Targeting. The location option should be people present in the location, not people interested in it. Confirm the language is correct and the device settings make sense. For Demand Gen campaigns, read location and language from each ad group, because Google keeps them there.
2) Ads. Every ad group should have at least one ad with Ad Strength of Good or better. List Google's improvement items for the rest. For Performance Max, check the asset group ad strength instead. Also flag ads that are themselves paused: a paused ad stays paused when the campaign is enabled and serves nothing.
3) Policy. Check for any disapproved or limited ads, and give the reason and the triggering text Google reports.
4) Extensions. Search campaigns should have at least 4 sitelinks and 4 callouts. For other campaign types, mark this check as not applicable rather than failed.
5) Schedule and budget. Check that the ad schedule matches my opening hours, and that the daily budget matches the number I gave above. If I gave no number for a campaign, show the current budget and mark it "to confirm".
6) Landing page. Take the final URL from the ads. Run a mobile SEO and tag audit and check mobile Core Web Vitals. Fail the page if mobile LCP is over 2.5 seconds (use real-user field data when available, otherwise lab data, and say which) or if no Google tag (Google Ads or GA4 / GTM) is found among the loaded measurement tags.

Deliver one table per campaign with these columns: check, pass/fail/not applicable, detail, fix.

Decision rule: recommend enabling only the campaigns with zero fails. Show that list as a dry run (confirm=false), including any paused ads inside them that would also need enabling, and wait for my approval before changing any status.

Launch a Meta lead generation campaign with an instant form

Reuses or drafts a qualifying instant form, then builds a paused Leads campaign, ad set and form-linked ads, with dry-run previews before creation and rendered Feed and Stories previews after.

When to use itWhen you want to start collecting leads on Facebook and Instagram with an instant form and need the whole campaign set up safely.

Set up a lead generation campaign in Meta ad account [client ad account] for [offer], targeting [city or country].

1. List the Facebook Pages this ad account is actually allowed to advertise for, and the instant forms already on the correct Page with the questions each asks. Reuse a form only if it collects full name, phone and email and includes at least one qualifying question. Otherwise, draft a new form with full name, phone, email, two qualifying questions as choice lists (budget range: [budget options]; timeline: [timeline options]) and the privacy policy URL [privacy URL].
2. Draft one campaign with the Leads objective, created paused. Ask me whether [offer] falls under housing, employment, credit or another special ad category before building. Include one ad set with broad targeting in the location above, ages 25-65, automatic placements (no placement restrictions), lead generation optimisation with the Page as the promoted object. Ask me for the daily budget before building.
3. Draft link ads attached to the form, using the image [image link or attached file]. Write 3 primary text options under 125 characters, a headline under 40 characters, and a Sign Up call to action. Use a clear, plain style with no hype. Ask me whether to build one ad per primary text (3 ads, so Meta can compare them) or one ad with the option I pick.

Before you create anything, show me the full plan as a table with the form fields, campaign, ad set and ad copy, plus the dry-run (confirm=false) output of each step. Wait for my approval, then create everything paused in this order: form, campaign, ad set, ads. Then render ad previews for Feed and Stories (Facebook and Instagram) from the new creatives so I can check them while nothing is spending. Return all IDs.
