[campaign name][target CPA]

Review the responsive search ad assets in [campaign name] for the last 60 days, using asset-level data. Only judge headlines and descriptions with at least 1,000 impressions. Flag an asset as weak if either of these is true: - Its CTR is below 70% of the ad group's median asset CTR. - It spent more than [target CPA] with zero conversions. Deliver one table per ad group with these columns: - asset text - pinned position - impressions - CTR - conversions - cost per conversion - the ad's current Ad Strength - verdict (keep / replace / watch) For each weak asset, write a replacement. It should: - fit the same pinned position and character limit - stay consistent with the ad's other messages - avoid duplicating any existing headline Limit changes to two assets per ad so the effect stays measurable. Do not propose any edit that would push Ad Strength below Good. Use in-place RSA edits, not new ads, so each ad keeps its performance history. Show all proposed edits as a preview and wait for my approval before applying anything.

Find search terms that waste budget and turn them into negatives

Combines smart negative suggestions with the full search terms report to flag zero-conversion and overpriced terms, then previews a grouped batch of negatives that protects your brand and converting keywords.

When to use itWhen your Google Ads search terms report shows money going to irrelevant or expensive searches and you want to cut that waste safely.

Review the search terms in my Google Ads account [account name] for the last 30 days. Use the smart negative keyword suggestions and the full search terms report together. My brand name and its common spellings are: [brand terms].

Flag two groups:
1. Terms that spent more than [spend threshold] with zero conversions.
2. Terms with exactly one conversion where the cost of that term is above 2x my target CPA of [target CPA]. Calculate this yourself from the cost and conversions in the search terms report.

Skip any term the report lists under already_negative, and check my existing negatives (including shared lists) so you never propose a duplicate.

For the matched keyword, query search_term_view with the keyword segment. If that field does not come back for a term, write "not available" instead of guessing.

Give me one table sorted by cost, highest first. Columns: search term, campaign, ad group, matched keyword, clicks, cost, conversions, recommended negative, match type, level (campaign or ad group).

Decision rules:
- Use exact match for one-off variants.
- Use phrase match when the same unwanted word appears in several terms, for example "free", "jobs" or "DIY".
- Pull my converting keywords from the keyword report. Never suggest a negative that would block one of them or any of my brand terms.
- If a term is relevant but simply expensive, list it separately as a bid or ad copy issue, not as a negative.

End with the estimated monthly savings. Use the last 30 days of cost from the terms you would block as the estimate, and say that this is an upper bound. Then show a preview of the negatives you would add, grouped by campaign, as one batch per campaign. Wait for my approval before adding anything.

Month-end budget pacing check across all client accounts

Runs pacing on every connected client account, compares projected month-end spend with each client's agreed monthly cap, and proposes CPA-ranked daily budget changes within guardrails, approved account by account.

When to use itWhen you manage several client accounts and need to know before month-end who is overspending or underspending against the agreed budget.

List my connected Google Ads client accounts (include client accounts under my manager account) and run a budget pacing check on each one for the current month, passing each account's id directly. The monthly caps agreed with each client are: [account name: monthly budget list]. Skip any account that is not on this list and tell me which ones you skipped.

For each account, take month-to-date spend per campaign from a campaign-level performance report for this month, and the daily budget and pace from the pacing check. Calculate projected month-end spend as spend to date plus current daily budget times the days remaining. Add the campaigns up to get the account total and compare it with the client's cap.

Deliver one table sorted by risk. Include these columns:
- account
- campaign
- daily budget
- spend to date
- projected month-end spend
- account variance vs the monthly cap, as an amount and as a %
- flag

Use these flag rules, at account level:
- OVER: projected spend is more than 5% above the cap.
- UNDER: projected spend is more than 10% below the cap.
- ON TRACK: everything else.

For every campaign in a flagged account, add month-to-date conversions and cost per conversion. This shows whether the underspend is worth fixing.

Then, for each flagged account, propose new daily budgets based on the days remaining. The goal is to land total spend within ±3% of the cap by month-end. When adding budget, prioritise the campaigns with the lowest cost per conversion. When cutting, start with the highest. Respect the budget guardrails: no single increase above +50%, no more than +100% within 24 hours, no cut deeper than -80%. If the target cannot be reached within those limits, say so and suggest a second step later in the week or a pause instead.

Show the proposal as a before/after table per account, then a preview of the changes. Wait for my approval account by account before changing any budget. Do not touch bidding strategies or targets.

Shift budget from rank-limited to budget-limited Search campaigns

A budget-neutral reallocation plan that moves money to Search campaigns losing impression share to budget at an acceptable CPA.

When to use itWhen some Search campaigns run out of budget and miss impressions while others underspend or cost too much per conversion.

In [client account], analyse all Search campaigns for the last 30 days. Target cost per conversion for this client is [target CPA].

1. Run an impression share analysis. Put each campaign in one bucket: mainly losing to budget, mainly losing to rank, or not limited.
2. Add cost, conversions, cost per conversion and current daily budget for each campaign.

Decision rules:
- A campaign RECEIVES budget only if both are true:
  - search impression share lost to budget is above 10%
  - cost per conversion is at or below target
- A campaign DONATES budget if either is true:
  - it spends less than 85% of its daily budget
  - its cost per conversion is more than 30% above target
- Rank-limited campaigns get no extra budget. List them separately. Use keyword Quality Score data to say whether the main fix is bids or Quality Score.

Deliver:
- a table of all campaigns with bucket, metrics and verdict (receive / donate / hold)
- a reallocation plan that keeps total daily budget unchanged, with no single campaign changed by more than 30%

Show the before/after budgets. Wait for my approval before applying any change.
