Rebuild your best Google Search campaign in Microsoft Ads

Copies only the ad groups that earn their keep from a Google Search campaign into a paused Microsoft Ads campaign. Keywords, RSA copy, negatives and locations are mapped to Microsoft's rules, and the build runs in three approval rounds so every new ID exists before the next step needs it.

When to use it

When a Google Search campaign is working well and you want to expand to Microsoft Ads (Bing) without rebuilding everything by hand.

What you get

A paused Microsoft Ads Search campaign with only the best ad groups, mapped keywords, RSA copy, negatives and locations, built in three approval rounds.

Does it change anything in my account?

Only with your approval. The assistant first shows a preview of every change and waits for your go-ahead.

Build a Microsoft Ads version of my Google Search campaign [Google campaign name] in Microsoft account [Microsoft account]. 1. Find the campaign ID in Google Ads, then pull the last 90 days for this campaign: - Ad groups with cost, clicks, conversions and conversion value. If the standard report does not return conversion value, get it with a read-only query per ad group. ROAS = conversion value / cost. - Keywords with match type, cost, clicks, conversions and average CPC. If average CPC is not returned, calculate it as cost / clicks. - The RSA headlines and descriptions of every enabled ad in each ad group. - Every negative keyword that applies to the campaign: ad group level, campaign level and the shared negative lists attached to it, with the keywords inside each list. - The campaign's location, radius and language targeting. 2. Carry over only ad groups that meet at least one condition: ROAS at or above [target ROAS], or at least 3 conversions. If the campaign records no conversion value, use the conversion rule alone and say so. List the excluded ad groups with the reason for each. 3. Check that [Microsoft account] is connected and that no campaign named [Microsoft campaign name] already exists there. Then show the planned build in one table with these columns: - ad group, with its Microsoft language set to [ad language] - keywords grouped by match type (Broad, Phrase, Exact), original match types kept - proposed default max CPC, set at 70% of that ad group's Google average CPC - RSA copy: 3 to 15 headlines (max 30 characters) and 2 to 4 descriptions (max 90 characters), checked against these limits, with the final URL and paths. Shorten anything over the limit and mark it. Note that pins do not carry over. - negatives, at campaign or ad group level as they were in Google. Microsoft negatives only accept Exact and Phrase, so map Google broad negatives to Phrase and flag each one you mapped. Shared list negatives go to campaign level. - locations, as Microsoft location IDs found by name search. If the Google campaign uses radius targeting, say it cannot be copied and propose the closest cities instead. If a name returns several matches, pick the one in the right country and show it. 4. Use a daily budget of [daily budget] for a Search campaign named [Microsoft campaign name]. 5. After I approve the table, build it in three rounds, because ad groups need the new campaign ID and keywords, ads and ad group negatives need the new ad group IDs. In each round run every write with confirm=false first, show me the previews together, wait for my approval, then apply with confirm=true and report the new IDs: - Round 1: the Search campaign (created paused) and its location targets. - Round 2: the ad groups under the new campaign, with language and default max CPC. They are created paused. - Round 3: keywords (one call per ad group and match type), RSAs, campaign-level negatives and ad-group-level negatives using the new ad group IDs. If any preview differs from the approved table, for example a location that was not found or a headline that fails validation, stop and tell me before applying anything in that round. Everything stays paused. Do not activate the campaign, the ad groups or the ads.

A fully structured Search campaign with keywords, ads and negatives, shown for approval before it is created paused.

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.
