SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Paid-media teams often change bids, budgets, or keywords based on isolated metrics or gut feel, causing wasted spend and irreversible account damage. This Skill grounds every optimization decision in causal evidence, financial constraints, and platform capability checks before any change is drafted or applied.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Evidence-Based Diagnosis: Loads normalized snapshots, monitoring results, experiment state, conversion lag, and economics before recommending any change.
  • Draft-First Mutations: Defaults to --draft mode, producing ranked recommendations with confidence scores that only become mutation plans through an approval gate.
  • Destructive-Action Guardrails: Refuses permanent deletion of campaigns, ads, or audiences, offering reversible alternatives like pausing, archiving, and labeling instead.
  • Use Case: A performance marketer notices rising CPA on a Google Ads campaign. The Skill reviews search-term reports, conversion lag, and budget pacing, then drafts a ranked reallocation plan with rollback steps rather than applying changes blindly.

Quick Start

Ask the assistant to review my Google Ads campaign performance and draft an optimization plan to improve ROAS without applying any changes.

Frequently Asked Questions about ads-optimize

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I optimize a Google Ads campaign without risking live changes?

Run the optimization workflow in draft mode, which is the default. It produces ranked recommendations with confidence scores and success measures, and only converts them into mutation plans after explicit approval through the mutation gate.

What evidence is needed before adding negative keywords?

Search-term actions require a search terms report, business-relevance evidence, and an overblocking review. Without these inputs, the workflow requests the missing evidence and does not invent or suggest specific negative keywords.

Can this workflow permanently delete campaigns or ads?

No. Permanent deletion of campaigns, ad groups, ads, audiences, or conversions is refused outright. It offers reversible alternatives such as pausing, archiving where supported, applying labels, exporting backups, and setting review dates.

When are drafted optimization changes actually applied to the account?

Changes are applied only when the exact operation is enabled in the platform capability manifest and the remote account state still matches the draft precondition. Application includes verification, audit logging, and retained rollback.

Why does the optimizer reject fixed CPA targets as a reason to change bids?

A fixed CPA multiple, budget ratio, or benchmark alone is never sufficient authorization to modify an account. Decisions must compare no-change, experiment, and mutation options using causal evidence, including learning, policy, tracking, and opportunity-cost effects.
