Run our weekly change governance check across every connected Google Ads account. 1. List all connected accounts. 2. For each account, pull the change history for the last 7 days. 3. Flag a change if it meets any of these conditions: - It was made by an email outside [our agency domain]. - It came from Google's automated systems or auto-applied recommendations, based on client type. - It changed a daily budget by more than 30%. - It changed a bid strategy or a target CPA/ROAS. - It removed keywords, ads or ad groups. - It edited, paused or removed a conversion action or goal. - It changed location or language targeting. 4. Where auto-applied changes appear, list the account's current recommendations so I can see what else Google may apply. Output: - One table per account with these columns: date, user, client type, resource, change, old→new, flag reason. - A summary at the top ranking accounts by number of flagged changes. - A separate line listing accounts with zero changes in 7 days, since those may be neglected. This is read-only. Do not revert or dismiss anything.

Find wasted search terms and build a safe negative keyword list

A themed table of money-wasting search terms with ready-to-apply negatives and projected savings, applied only after you approve.

When to use itWhen you feel your Google Ads budget is going to searches that never convert, such as jobs, free, DIY or the wrong location, and you want them blocked safely.

Find the search terms wasting money in my Google Ads account [account name] over the last 60 days.

Use the search terms report and the smart negative keyword suggestions. First read all my existing negatives (campaign level, ad group level and shared lists) so you do not suggest duplicates.

Flag a term as waste if:
- it spent more than [amount] with zero conversions, or
- it clearly has the wrong intent (jobs, free, DIY, second hand, places I do not serve, competitor names), regardless of spend.

Deliver a table with these columns: search term, campaign, cost, clicks, conversions, suggested negative, match type (exact or phrase), level (campaign, ad group or shared list), and a one-line reason. Group rows into themes and show the total spend these terms took in 60 days.

Rules: never block a term that converted at least once. Warn me if a negative would also block one of my converting keywords.

Then show a preview of exactly what you would add and wait for my approval before applying anything.

Check conversion tracking before trusting any CPA or bidding decision

A pass/fail check of your conversion setup across Google Ads, GA4 and Tag Manager, with the fixes that stop Smart Bidding from optimising toward the wrong action.

When to use itWhen your CPA or conversion numbers look off, or before you change bids or budgets, and you are not sure your conversion tracking is counting the right things.

Before I make any optimisation decisions, check whether conversion tracking in my Google Ads account [account name] can be trusted. Use the last 30 days.

Check and report pass/fail for each:
- primary conversion actions that recorded zero conversions, or are paused or removed
- the same lead counted twice (for example a Google Ads tag and an imported GA4 key event both set as primary for the same form)
- weak actions set as primary, such as page views, scrolls or button clicks
- lead actions counting "every" instead of "one"
- lookback windows and default values that make no sense for my business
- Google Ads conversions vs GA4 key events for the same action: flag any gap above 20%
- in Tag Manager, whether a conversion tag exists for each primary action and fires on the right trigger

Deliverable: a checklist table (check, status, evidence, fix), then a short verdict: can I trust my CPA today, yes or no.

If a primary/secondary setting should change, show me a preview of the exact change and wait for my approval. Do not change anything silently.

Spot suspicious clicks and block fraudulent IPs after review

Clean up weak ads, disapprovals and missing extensions

A per-ad-group checklist of ad strength, underperforming headlines, policy issues and extension gaps, plus draft replacement copy.

When to use itWhen your Google Ads ads have low ad strength, disapprovals, poor CTR or missing sitelinks and callouts, and you want clear fixes with ready replacement copy.

Audit the ads and extensions in my Google Ads account [account name]. Use the last 60 days.

For each active Search ad group, check:
- ad strength of every responsive search ad, and Google's action items for improving it
- headlines and descriptions with at least 1,000 impressions whose CTR is below half the ad group average
- headlines pinned without a clear reason (pinning limits combinations)
- disapproved or limited ads and the exact policy reason
- extensions: fewer than 4 sitelinks, no callouts, no structured snippets, or no call extension; also sitelinks that got impressions but zero clicks

Deliverables:
1. A checklist table per ad group: issue, evidence, fix.
2. For each weak headline or description, 2 replacement drafts that include the ad group's main keyword and a concrete benefit or offer from my business: [main offer or USP]. Respect the 30 and 90 character limits.
3. For each disapproval, what to change to get it approved.

Edit existing ads in place rather than creating new ones, so performance history is kept. Show me a preview of every edit and wait for my approval.
