How the platform works

My Ads Automation is software we built for our own Google Ads management work. It does the slow, repetitive analysis and drafting, and leaves every decision to a person.

01 · Read

It starts by reading the account

Using the Google Ads API, the platform pulls the reports an experienced account manager would check by hand, across any date range. This step is read only.

  • Campaign, ad group, keyword and ad performance
  • The search terms that really triggered the ads
  • Impression share, including share lost to budget and to rank
  • Quality Score parts, ad strength and asset performance
  • Change history and Google’s own recommendations
02 · Prepare

Then it prepares the work

The platform turns its analysis into a concrete, written proposal that a person can read in a minute. Every item carries its reason.

  • Responsive search ads, held to the 30 and 90 character limits
  • Keywords from real searches, and negatives for wasted ones
  • Budget, bid and status adjustments inside the safety limits
  • New search campaigns by service and location, created paused
03 · Review

A person decides

Every proposal waits in a queue until the account manager reads it and approves or rejects it. Approval is a separate manual step outside the software’s control, so the platform cannot approve its own work.

Before a proposal is shown, it has already passed three checks: our validation rules, the account safety limits, and a Google Ads API dry run that confirms Google would accept the request without changing anything.

04 · Apply, safely

Safeguards that cannot be skipped

Approved changes are sent to Google Ads as a single request, so either all of it applies or none of it does.

Created paused

New campaigns and new ads never start spending until a person enables them inside Google Ads.

Capped changes

Budget and bid changes are limited to a set percentage per proposal, and checked against live values again at apply time.

No deleting

The platform can pause things. It can never remove a campaign, an ad or a keyword.

Location required

A campaign without a target location is refused, so nothing can run worldwide by mistake.

Logged

Every applied change is recorded with its reason, so it can be traced and reversed.

Low volume

Request volume stays far below the Google Ads API daily limits.

Data handling

What happens to Google Ads data

The short version is below. The full detail is on the data and security page.

ONE PURPOSE

Used for the client’s account only

Data is used to manage and report on the account it came from. It is never sold, never shared and never mixed between clients.

LOCAL

Stored on our own computer

Reports, proposals and logs are kept locally. There is no shared cloud database, and credentials sit in a private, access restricted folder.

REVOCABLE

Access the client controls

We never ask for a Google password. Access comes through Google’s manager account linking, and the client can remove it at any moment.
